How do I change my username?
Players can change their username by visiting their account's settings page and selecting the "Username" option under account management. Please see the image below if you are having trouble locating this option. To change your username:
Open the Account Settings in the application.
Select the "Username" option.
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process. If this is your first username change, it will be free. Otherwise, ensure you have 10,000 Gold available in your account.
What happens when I change my username?
When a player changes their username, this changes their username everywhere on the application. The username that you use to log in is also changed to your newly set username.
Does it cost gold to change my username?
All players receive one name change for free but all name changes after that will cost 10,000 gold. The 10,000 Gold fee for username changes is implemented to encourage thoughtful choices and to deter excessive name changes, ensuring a fair experience for all users. Once a username change has been made, the 10,000 Gold used for the name change is non-refundable. Make sure to choose your new username carefully.
Can I revert back to my old username?
After any name change, players receive a 14-day period where they can revert to their original username for free. During this time, their original username is reserved to prevent other players from claiming it. Reverting during this 14-day window does not refund the 10,000 Gold initially paid for the username change. If these 14 days lapse, players will need to pay 10,000 Gold to change their username back, but the original username might no longer be available if someone else has since claimed it.
Can I change my username to anything I want?
Players can only change their username to a username that is available. So if the username you are seeking is already taken by another user you will not be able to choose it. On top of this, the standard username rules apply.
If a user is inactive can I have their username?
Players cannot take over inactive usernames, sorry. If a player has a username set then that username cannot be used by anyone else even if that player has not been active for a while.
