Was not expecting this to be implemented.

neither was I to be frank.

inb4 like 100s of people change their nicknames to 'bestplayeroftheworld' 'Ogonna' 'j^8' and so forth...

WTF is inb4?
IS THIS MEMES?

in before?

in = in

b = be

4 = fore

k thx

We hope that won't happen too much more than now, but yeah that was a reason for waiting with this.

But we felt a lot of legit people would want this and we don't overly like punishing legit players out of a fear of abuse...

Hope you'll like it.

Eh isn't really that helpful for me because I've already got my nickname sorted out but I guess it's good for those who want to change theirs.

Bit of trivia about mine...
1st Nickname "€L NϟTRO" was based on a car called the "El nino", featured in Need for Speed III: Host Pursuit.
2nd Nickname "Xzycko" just popped into my head one day and I decided to nick it. (lol get it?)
3rd Nickname "Xzyckon", it's just better with the 'n' on the end. This is most likely going to be the one that I stick with.

What happened to this being "a security issue"?

Well idk who would ever think anything about j^8 anymore, as he was obviously replaced with some strange dude using the exact same mechs and country as him called "Aegis"... very strange, who would ever kick j^8????!?!?!?!?


I think Ill stay WarrMachine for now. But if you ever see an "Elias" or "Samuel" or something like that, you who it is.

That's usernames, nicknames were just to prevent abuse and because they werent so easy to change.

Your forum username is a wholly different matter ;P

I guess when I suggested a "one time name change" it wasn't clear what I meant, nickname or username. I meant nickname, but that wasn't explained.

My bad
