Free BattleTag Name Change Now Live!
If you've been wanting to change your BattleTag, you should thank Overwatch's incoming release! Blizzard has credited all Battle.net accounts with one BattleTag change.
Login to account management to change your BattleTag.
Quote from BlizzardAs we prepare for the launch of Overwatch next week, we have refreshed the free BattleTag update for all Battle.net accounts! We often see feedback with requests to update your BattleTag, and as we move into a new universe filled with soldiers, scientists, adventurers and oddities it’s important that you have a nickname that represents you!Like your current moniker? No problem! You will continue to keep and use your existing BattleTag without needing to take any action. Want to change it up? Visit your Account Management Dashboard, and click the Change link under your Account Details to the right of your existing BattleTag! Players on your Battle.net Friends List, Heroes of the Storm, Hearthstone, and Overwatch will see the update soon after the change.
In addition to the above update, requests for an option to update BattleTags more frequently is something we hear often from players. We’re exploring the possibilities, and will be sure to let you know of any updates! Keep an eye on our game sites and forums for announcements.
It won’t be long before the agents of Overwatch are recalled to active duty, and we hope that this update helps you get ready!
FINALLY my Battle net name can match my Neopet's name!!
Thanks blizzard. For those who just changed, do request for another name change credit during this time. It might come in handy in future. I just asked an gotten another credit right after I used mine. You are welcome.
Thanks Blizzard!
Don't click the link to change your tag unless you really want to change it right now. I clicked the link, couldn't decide on a good change, and decided to close the window and do it later after thinking about it some more. Apparently that "used up" my shot at changing my name, because the link is now absent from my account management page.
Sweet I had a free change since my account was ancient and decided to use it last week. Now I have another in the stash, good shit.
So how much would this have cost if actually purchased?
Lol I was testing some names, assuming the system would tell me if the username was already in you use or if I should confirm the change.
But no, warning guys, it immediatly changes without cancelation
It probably was in use, but that's the great thing about battletags. You can have any name you want.
Finally my username and my battletag are equal
I have no ide but pls hurry Blizzard
Still no Underscore allowed. It's fcking 2016 Blizzard!
It is nice to see Blizzard give players a chance to change their name.
I like it,ive changed mine THX Overwacth
If I haven't changed my battletag yet and I decide to change it now, do I have the possibility to change it again in the future or does this only affect people who already changed their battletag before.
That's a bummer. I actually didn't change my nick name yet, because I don't know, whether I want to change it back afterwards.
Better think about your Nickname.
I don't know guys... I just feel myself really embarrassed because of that we call this totally basic option "new free feature". :D
Awesome!
Well I'm using CrazyDiamond for over a year now, and I don't need to change, but is always good to have the option!
