Is it possible to change my username to wander or just wand? I've checked the memberlist and there's no one by that name yet. wand3rer isn't really me anymore and I've had this name for many years, playing the game on and off.


If its not possible don't worry about it -- I just thought it was worth asking.
And if it is possible, I'd appreciate it if you'd take care of that for me or perhaps let me know how I can do it myself.

Thanks for any response ahead of time,
-wand

Are you talking about your forum name or in-game name?

If in-game name, then just log in under the new nick you want to use. This is often referred to as a "hider" and you're allowed up to 3 nicks in total. These nicks will be "linked" so that game stats, etc. will be accumulated under your primary nick. From time to time we do a nick purge allowing you to create new hiders.

If it's your forum nick you're talking about, then you have two options. 1) Just create a new forum ID. 2) Become a contributing member via donations. This permits you to change your displayed forum nick once every 90 days, I think.
