If one of the powers that be could provide a little help it would be much appreciated; when I joined GoW, I just used my standard handle, but chose an in-game name that reflected my hero in LOTRO. Now that I am super active in GoW, it’s a bit confusing. Would it be possible to change my forum name (currently stogie3786) to my game name; Polaren ? I researched and found that this was successfully accomplished for Sidousai about a year ago > [@Changing forum ID](http://community.gemsofwar.com/t/changing-forum-id/8846): > > Is there a way to change my forum ID name from ctu1208 to my in-game name Sidousai? I didn’t think much of it in the beginning, and just used my traditional handle when I signed up. But I think it would fit the general theme of the GoW forum more if I can switch to my game ID. Thanx much. Let me know if this is possible and if there are any action items I need to handle first. Thanks! Polaren (or Stogie3786) (or J.P.) Platform: XBOX1 ---

I don’t think you can do it by yourself, it look like the devs can do it for you, ask @Saltypatra she will help you. But i think you will need to wait on monday cause it’s already the weekend in australia ---

Pretty sure you’re right @Rickygervais. I saw in the post I quoted above that a number of devs responded and handled it for him. I’m hoping for the same 😉 May have to fill out a ticket - but hate to add to the queue… Let’s see what happens. ---
