I thought you had to PM a mod for a name change, at least I remember that being the case back when the NA and EU forums were merged.

When they switched to the vBulletin forums we lost the ability to change our names. I'm not sure if it's a limitation of vBulletin or if a decision was made not to allow that on these forums as a result of some players constantly changing their forum names making it difficult for other posters to immediately identify them. Especially if they had a non-unique avatar or no avatar.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

That's what I had to do back when we merged. We used to be able to set them ourselves (or at least the EU did) but that changed when we moved to these new forums.

Yes, but the _NA and _EU thing appeared when they combined the NA and EU forums (which I think was the same time as the change to vBulletin?), which happened a couple years before the NA and EU server merge. It was how they avoided name collisions.

Yes, and TJ was right -- he was responding to another post that mentioned the server merges (which had absolutely nothing to do with the FORUM merge). The vBulletin change and the forum merge happened at the same time (7/27/09).

Hi All,
Thanks for the replies, PM a redname seems to be the answer.
If you see me in-game, the pies are on me.

Still, my wording was technically correct in that it did happen before the server merge.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Hi All,
As you can see my username on the forums has _NA at the end. Can anyone tell me how I can change this?
Thanks
