Nope.
Not unless it’s offensive.

but I believe you were told that we don’t change names upon request. And that is true. We’d rather have our agents focus on helping players with actual account issues than deal with secondary situations. In situations like that explained by the OP, we made a change because security was an issue.

I don’t see your name as being potentially offensive. Nor did the team, when it was discussed. I understand you want a change, but I don’t think you need a change, and we really truly want the agents to deal with issues rather than requests. I don’t intend to sound harsh or dismissive. We may offer the opportunity for players to rename in the future. I’ll ask the team about this tomorrow, but I think this display name is going to stand, out of fairness to other renamed players.

Maybe in the future: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/account/I-would-like-to-change-my-Display-Name/first#post1130468

Your name has potential to be changed due to the widely used meaning of the word ‘Fap’ which is sexual in nature.

You could say you realise you named it offensively and would like to pre-emptively change it.

Worth a try.

Hi everyone,

MrFapulous, you can try and open a ticket to support and tell them that you would like to, as stated by Bluestone, pre-emptively change because of obvious reasons.

Thanks for your understanding. This thread is closed
