Changing Global Names

Be aware that you can only do this ONCE, so make sure you like what you change it to.

I can remember maybe twice since I started playing in issue 3 that we got a global rename reset... you may VERY occasionally get a second chance. Don't count on it though; as I said I remember it happening only twice in 6 years. Plan on your rename choice being permanent.

I started right around i7, and this recent Global Change allowance is number THREE for me. (I think at least one of them was unannounced).

Then again, maybe you meant we've had 2 resets plus the one we initially get when we start the account, totaling 3.

Either way, your point stands. You never know when or if another one will be issued, so make sure you pick something you really want.

Yep, I meant two resets that I could recall. As I remember both of them had something to do with bugs or server issues but it's been awhile and I could be mixing that with something else. There may have been another sometime that I've forgotten about but it's certainly a rare occurrence.

I've only used the rename once; that was back when CMA hit 50 to change the global from the default, my first character who at the time was long deleted, to my current global, @call me awesome.

My original Global was the first toon I ever made (as is everybody else's). I changed it to Master-Blade after my first month or so of using my second toon more than my first. lol

The first extra change I remember was when i12 had so many global chat issues and some people's name had reset to the next toon they logged into or something. I remember having the option to change my name again, but I never did.

I did change a name on a second throw-away account though as a joke though. I was able to change it again when GR came out.

I was pretty sure there was another one besides those, but I can't recall exact details. I wasn't really a major forum-goer back in my first few issues, so I didn't have a clue about things going on like that. lol
