hello just got back to the game after a 3+ year hiatus, I would like to know how I can change my name both in game and on the forums? I let a cousin use this account and he seemed to have changed both the names in game and on the forums. is there something I need to do to change them back to what it was or am I stuck with it?

The forum is (supposedly) permanent, now, but you could always PM avatea or niviene - there was a post (in Announcements, I believe) just after the EU and NA forums were merged that gave instructions on how to get a change, as well, since people had _NA and _EU appended if there was a conflict. Not sure if that's still going.

Now, in game - do you mean the global? It can (supposedly) only be changed once - but you can check to see if it'll let you by going under your Menu in-game.

It's right on the menu - change global name or change display name I believe it's called. It's the only option like that.

Simple: If before the merge there was a JahRastaFari on the EU and NA forums, then they would be indicated as

JahRastaFari_EU
JahRastaFari_NA

in the currently merged forum system. To get the EU or NA dropped, whichever one of the 2 to contact Niv first with a name change request would get the extension dropped.

You're name didn't have a doppleganger, so you're cool.

EU=European
NA=North America

Previously there were separate forums and server sites for European and American players. The forums were merged several months ago and now only the server sites are separated.

thanks. my original forums handle was Liamlightsun my name from SWG. when the NGE hit a bunch of us came over here and started GMW on the freedom server in COV, so did they merge the european and NA servers, like was there a freedom for both EU and NA? or was there just a european named server?

If you want to change your forum handle, PM Niviene (US) or Avetea (EU).

Include a list of (3) name choices.

Note, you can now have some Punctuation and spaces (So "Dr. Liam Light Sun", or Liam Light-Son, etc)

They only merged the boards; the EU game servers are still separate from those in North America.

And there is no European server called Freedom, either. The EU servers are:
  • Defiant (English)
  • Union (English)
  • Vigilance (French)
  • Zukunft (German)

About a year ago they gave everyone a bonus global name change, so If your cousin changed your global toon name before then you should have another global name change.


I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.

Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.

So sad to be ending ):
