Blizzard To Offer Free and Paid Name Change For StarCraft II

by on August 16, 2010
 

Blizzard have today announced that StarCraft II players will soon be given the opportunity to change their in-game name. The first name change will be free, with additional name changes coming at an unannounced price. It would seem that quite a few StarCraft II players would like to make use of a name change service after finding out that their in-game name would be used across multiple StarCraft II platforms which include multi-player games, ladders, and  forums.

Blizzard explained the reasoning behind the upcoming name change feature on their StarCraft II blog:

In some cases, people chose character names that don’t represent their usual multi-player nicknames, as they were unaware of how the character names were being used. It’s important to us that everyone is represented by a name of their choosing in their multi-player games, ladders, and on the forums and community site.
