Hello,

My in-game name and forum name needs to be changed. It’s offending so many other people, I get complains about it ALL the time. i’m surprised I haven’t been banned yet. I feel terrible that so many people are hurt by the name that I randomly decided to use when signing up for new world.

Please, can someone help me right my wrongs?

Ingame Name: blackbrair
Forum Name: blackbriar (yes, spelled differently)
Region/Server Name: US-East/dominora

Thanks!

Hello @blackbriar !

Sadly We cannot change in-game names.

It can be a possibility in the future.

I recommend you the submit feedback option in game for users: Submit Feedback - Support | Amazon Games

  1. Press Esc, select Game Menu, and then Submit Feedback.
  2. Provide a description of the feedback, rate your experience, and then select Submit.

If you want to change your name or username on the forum, you can do it from your profile settings.

Go to your profile and then to Preferences. From there, you will be able to change your username.

Hope this helps!

Hello Adventurer,

Thank you for your post.

I am sorry but currently there is no manual option to change the name of characters in the game. Unless someone finds it offensive and reports the name the team will not be able to check.

However there is one area in which I can offer instant assistance. If you would like to change your forum name I can assist you with that. Please do let me know what name you want your forum name to be changed to.

If you have any other question or concern feel free to ask me!! :smiley:

Wish you have an amazing week!

My understanding is that in-game names can actually be changed, as i’ve seen it happen a number of times already. Does no one at AGS find my name offensive enough to force me to change it?

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.

In game name changes are triggered by the moderation team after a review of any reports that they receive.

There is no manual way to change the name of the character at this moment neither by the player nor the moderation team.

We at forums can however change the forum names upon request if you are not able to do it from your end.

I hope that helps.

Hi @blackbriar,

You could, if you wanted, ask someone you know to report the name in game and that might trigger it for you.

^ that.

I know for a fact you can change your name ingame, but it only happens when your name is reported as offensive by others, and then you get a prompt forcing you to change it before you can log back in.

Seen it happen to a guy I played with before he stopped comin back

Hello, @Hiply and @derv

Thank you for trying to help our fellow @blackbriar , but I just wanted to remind you that reports are being reviewed by moderators, so if they don’t find anything against the Code of conduct or naming policies, they won’t penalize the player, meaning the name will stay as it is. Then we don’t recommend or encourage this type of action,

You all have a great day!
