Changing my name


Website Feedback


So when I created my account I just took an old character that I really liked and used his name. I have since moved on to a name I really enjoy more and will probably use for years to come. For the most part, this isn't a problem. I can just post with this alias. However, when I write reviews, I have to use my actual avatar name and I don't like that name anymore. Is there any way I can either change the name or just post reviews with my alias?


Posting reviews and favorites under alias would be great. Maybe an option in account management in addition to use as default alias there could be box to check "use alias for reviews and favorites".

That's not a bad idea, though I'm a little concerned about people doing joke "in-character" reviews. We'll have to think about the best way to integrate this kind of choice though, so it might be awhile before it happens.

Who on Earth would do a thing like that?

I can fully understand that. I have just recently been buying 3PP. Was it a problem in the past? This is just a question of curiosity.

Not me! Well, maybe for the halfling paper minis. And the Lem Reaper miniature. And the Lem WizKids miniature...

Naw, I'm just paranoid. Eighty percent of the things I worry about with people's behavior on the site never actually come to pass. But I think it's good to consider all the ramifications of any change.


Fair enough. 20% is enough to be worried about something anyway (I would be worried at 5% or lower with a site this size so it's all good). I'll just have to sign off with my alias until then.

I would actually like the option to change my account name (mainly take the 68 off the end). Is there any way to do this??
