At the moment, I am seriously considering changing my btag name, as you know thinking before I fully quit wow for FF14, at least try to take steps towards making my wow experience better, by giving myself a little more privacy and only sharing information about me, about people I trust,
Is it free to change your btag name and stuff?
Update in Blizzard Account details. Apparently.
I am not sure if you could get a free one, maybe under certain circumstances where there is a lot of abuse thrown your way.
So it costs money to change it?
I will have to carefully think of what to change my name to then. Thanks for the help though.
I know I’m quite vocal on the forums, but as I think about it more and more, given that wow is starting to bridge into my real life again, I value my privacy…
Your character name would stay the same, so we’d still know who you are.
I know it’s not a perfect solution but I know a lot of folks enjoy using classic characters on the forums for privacy concerns.
Without collections and achievements its a pretty blank face to post under if you are being contacted in game or whatever.
Hmm, is there a way to change character name?
Mind you, all the regulars from the forum that wanted to add me that I get along with have already done so.
The only way to change your character’s name is to pay for a Name Change. You may do-so by going to the In-Game Shop while logged in to World of Warcraft!
The cost for a Paid Name Change is $12.50 CAD. I’m not sure on the USD price as I can only see the Canadian price as I reside in Canada.
Also:
" After creating your account and setting your BattleTag, you are allowed to change your BattleTag for free the first time. For additional BattleTag changes, we offer the BattleTag Change service."
Note: Each Blizzard account is allowed one free BattleTag change.
First one’s free.
PS: for the future, if you have game questions such as this that relate to the behind-the-scenes stuff, I’d do a search yourself of the support page and if you can’t find it, ask on the Customer Support forum, where there are Blues who will often answer questions.
Basically what Xan has said. Though if there were real life threats or doxing or something, I’d wonder if Blizzard would just help you out. I honestly don’t know.
lilithia if it’s any difference, I’ve enjoyed a lot of your posts, but if you choose to leave I do understand. FFXIV isn’t a bad game, I’ve even had fun with it, and there’s always future WoW content if that appeals to you. I hope everything works out for you.
privacy is completely up to you.
if you don’t want people on your list, remove them… privacy accomplished
i’m not sure how changing your battletag would make any changes to privacy?
It’s a long story, but the short version is that I have had a few fallouts with people on wow from the past, and have recently had a few people come into my life that used to play wow and whatnot, and considering playing again,
To me, the risk of people badmouthing me and carrying on about things that happened in the past, and at worst making a false accusation, and having the other person believe the gossip is too great,
I mean I already told these people close to me my side of the story and my perception of events, some people have the view that if someone wants to be in a relationship with you, you just bite the bullet, trust them, own your past, warts and all, as they tell me they haven’t had the most clean past themselves, but nevertheless, if I am to remain on wow, I kind of want a fresh start you know?
Ironically since I been less active, been spending a lot more time on FF14 and whatnot, got guilds I own on here growing without me really do much…
Forgive me, I’m feeling a bit emotional right now moods swinging a bit…
I think I will make another thread about Sylvanas, that will keep my mind off things.
So is the first hit or drink.
Can confirm. I changed mine. I was tired of being known as an oxymoron
You were oxymoron??
I remember you lol!!
You do eh? Dragons can be reborn I suppose
ok, i still don’t understand.
if you want people removed from your list, remove them.
they can’t just re-add themseles.
there’s clearly something i’m missing (and no, i don’t care about the drama, just trying to help you sort your issue)
Lilithia, I like you & think you’re genuinely a nice person, but you really need to let stuff go & stop worrying about things that happened in the past. Many people have regrets, but there’s no use dwelling in them cause there’s nothing we can do to change what has happened. I do hope everything works out though. Moving forward will always be the best option even though I know from personal experience it can be & is hard to do so, but once you do, you feel better mentally.
