syfro.6873:

My username is: [[redacted for security purposes]]
and i dont want to get in trouble by having a name/lawsuit or whatever funky things the company has been doing.
Am i safe?

Your display name is syfro.6873. That can be seen in the game, just as your character names can be seen. Your user name — which we call your Account Name which is made up of an email address that you use to access the game and forums — is invisible to other players.

I have redacted the name so that others don’t see it on the forums. The name, alone, is not a security risk, because someone would need the full name@emailaddress to access your account, but I removed it just to be safe.

Short answer: This isn’t something we would take action on, it’s fine.

If it is a character name, then if the owner of the copyright contacts us, we will take action. Otherwise, it’s acceptable.
