Didn't see any other suitable place to post this but...
Is there a way to change the name of my account? I know someone else who has had their account name changed, I just don't know how they did it.

Just send an email to
wowhead-feedback@zam.com
asking nicely if you can get your name changed and they'll probably do so.

AIE...
I approve of this request. Please give us the ability to easily change our user-names. Or do something similar to what the WoW Offical Forums do, and use a chosen Character as a profile/forum user name.

Why? It makes it harder to recognize a user as well as making it "easier" for people to troll. If you can change your name easily, what's to stop you from making a nuisance of your self and "disappearing?"
Emailing the admins for a name change should be a last resort kind of thing. You should pick a name you'll like when you create your account.

That does not matter. You can not be lazy and click the user name. You can view their profile, all their characters, Comments, Posts, Replies, and any profiles set.
Second. Those who do make a nuisance of themselves risk being reported and the Forum Masters can always delete the posts or the entire users account.
Third. It likely would change like the signiture line does. Change your user name, and the name on every post you have will change also. So even if you are naughty, you will always see the post.

Email the admins is not a "last resort kind of thing". It is an inconvenience and complicated process. As a few users stated in the past. Some have used the same User-name for ages and things change. Either the username no longer fits or is appropriate. Some have had a user-name since before these forums existed. Some have user-names that match their game user-name, and obviously that is a major security issue.

When you change your username on eBay you get flagged with a special icon everyone can see (for a while), and clicking it takes you to a page where you can see that user's username history.
If we ever allow name changes we could do something similar.

I might have missed your email—my responsibilities have increased a lot, and I sometimes don't get the chance to answer them all anymore. I expect yours was one of those ones I opened, said "Oh I should totally do that as soon as things get calmed down", and then things never calmed down.

Hehe, Malgayne changed my name. I thank him with a box of "Home Made Goblin Winter Veil Cookies" CAUTION: Eat no more than Two a day, as an overdose of cookies will cause Goblin Suger Rage!

Back in October, I've emailed a similar request at this precise address but had no answer. I thought that it wasn't the correct way anymore or that admins had many more important things to attend to. Which is probably the case anyway ;-)
Do I need to send another email? My last one was from the 28th of October.

A feature allowing at-will name changes is not going to be happening... we change names on a case-by-case basis when requested via .
