All these dang weebs...

As long as you don't pick "Kirito" you should be golden!

True story - there's so many of those that even the randomly generated 4 digit number at the end may be running out, or the system just has issues finding an unclaimed number. ;D

This is correct!

Up until this year (a few months ago, really) we were not able to make changes to display names since the whole system (and the tools our team uses) were not built with changing the display name in mind.

While it was technically possible, it could permanently break an account in a way where it would end up unable to chat, add friends, interact with guilds, or the display name change simply wouldn't take. For this reason, we would only change the name if it contained a significant amount of personal information (such as first AND last name,) or if it was in violation of the Terms of Service.

Thankfully, we finally got our tools and the display name system updated, which is why we updated the policy this year! While we may come across a couple cases where we can't change the name, these should be few and far between, so this limitation is pretty much a thing of the past. :)

Thanks for the note about the FAQ page, by the way. I'll tak...

Please excuse me while I fill the ocean with my tears from how cute this is.

That Fernpup is so adorable!! 😭
