Guild Wars 2

I pre-ordered Guild Wars 2 and played in the early access Beta. I created my account before I knew that my Display Name would be visible everywhere by everyone at any time.
My Display Name is my email address which makes it super easy for someone to narrow down on how to hack my account.
Hi, account crackers reading the very message and making a note of my email address and deciding which domains to try it on. Is it Gmail? Hotmail? Yahoo? Maybe a corporate account or some 3rd rate ISP?
I went through support a few weeks ago and was told that there isn’t way for me to change it on my own and that they may or may not add a feature for that in the future.
Yes, I am using the account guard features with the email to authenticate (hey, they have my email address) and the Google Authenticator.

They said they can’t change the Display Name, but you can at least link your Guild Wars 2 account to other email.

However, they can force you to change your name if it’s against the EULA. So why don’t they just follow that procedure? A few days of block seems preferable to having your account stolen, and this is a special circumstance…

ThiBash, I’m just trying to work with the best option here. We have only 2 options in my view to this solution: option 1 – change display name; option 2 – change email adress.
If they said they won’t change the display name, you can’t force them to do it. He already talk to the support about it and they said No!
The only thing I know that they would do is changing is email adress, so the option number 2 is the most viable and fastest than to bring a discussion about the option 1.

I guess I should have had an email address of WeedLordkittenHitler666 or something.

Oh, Snap! They fixed it for me. Yay!
They went back to my old support ticket and changed it because I was dumb and used my email address as my Display Name and that really was pretty dumb.
The were really nice about telling me I was dumb, though.

Ah, so you can change display names! In that case, I have a favor to ask. (I don’t mean to hijack the thread, but is seems that the OP’s issue is resolved, and I’ve had trouble getting you guys’s attention.)

You guys changed my original DN because “Christ” was part of it, but my fear is that “Coffin Fur Smith” sounds like “coffin FOR Smith,” which could scare some people. I’m actually surprised your “agent” hadn’t thought of this.

I submitted a ticket and was told that you can’t change names at all, which ticked me off a little, and my PM to Gaile has received no response. I’ve even gone so far as to report myself (which I should be able to do, since I find the name offensive).

My hope is that by having my display name match my character name (Shynn.xxxx), there is no chance in the world that anyone will be offended by my DN, ever. Thank you for whatever help you can provide.
