Guild Wars 2

My account name was ‘no f in luck’. I sent a ticket several weeks ago asking if i could change this and whether there was an option to do so. (So i took the proactive stand to look into this issue.) I’ve just logged into the name and my account name is now ‘Coin Flunk.3024’.

1) I Guess my name is changed due to the insensitive nature of my old account name? (I’m happy if this is the case, as i asked for it to be changed.)

2) Anet, would this have been one of you who changed it? As i’ve done nothing differently my end.

3) May i pm one of you an account name for it to be changed too? ‘Coin Flunk.3024’ means nothing to me and i’m likely to forget it, could i atleast request an account name; after all this is the core name through all my characters and it’s what all my friends on my friends list know me as.

Basically i’m asking did you change my account name? – I was a little bit disappointed it has been changed and no private message was sent to me telling me why.

Could i request a new name, otherwise i’m going to have to purchase a new copy of the game and set up a new account name that i want. I don’t want to do this as i’ve put so much work into this account.

Regards,

Joe

Oh thanks for the speedy reply, I’ve copied and pasted: (Gaile, is there a button, or a function where i can change the account name? – A friend of mine has been told to change his character name and he has that option. Is there an option for the account name also?)
Yes, so i’ve copied and pasted the below. Looking back i realize i didn’t make a ‘ticket’ but i contacted a Anet mod. (Anet Mod didn’t say the name is not allowed either.)

I’ll appreciate any outcome where this can be resolved. =)

“Coin Flunk.3024
Dear sir,
I wasn’t sure which mod to ask.
All my character names are suitable to the game, e.g. ‘peek a booo’ & ‘im a numptie norn’, however my account name is the same as my account names for other websites and games, as i didn’t want to create another account. I thought this would be suitable as it doesn’t show up in game (and it doesn’t, only the character name does).
However, I am reluctant to post in the forums as my account name will appear and not the character name. I would love to post more, but i feel my account name may be perceived in the wrong sense by some. Is there a function for me to approach you and ask for this to be changed, rather than for me to log onto a 3 day suspension. Or am i okay with this account name? :-)
Regards,
Joe

Hi,
Thanks for your message.
I understand in which position you are currently in. For me, the best would be to change your account name in order to avoid every disagreement that could be created regarding this name. Unfortunately, I can’t change your account name by myself as it is linked to your game account.
So please, send a request to the customer support and explain them why you would like to change your account name. An agent will answer to your request as fast as possible.
Let me know if you need anything else.
Charles”

“3) ‘Coin Flunk.3024’ means nothing to me and i’m likely to forget it”

This is unlikely, as its not used to sign in anywhere (the email is) and shows up on the forums and in game (which you log into with said email)

Thanks for that Squall Leonhart.2075, but i didn’t create this topic for people to quote how i’m wrong/right or incorrect i am; I created it with good intentions to get my account name changed. As it was changed without any message/feedback.

Thanks again, but please refrain from commenting.
