You want to change your name on Battle.net but you’re not sure how to do it. There are several ways to change your name on Battle.net, including the Rules for changing your BattleTag, Updating your first name, and more. First, let’s go over the steps for changing your BattleTag.
Rules for changing a BattleTag
Changing your BattleTag is easy and free, as long as you have an active account with Blizzard. However, if you want to change your BattleTag more than once, you need to pay $10. The BattleTag must be three to 12 characters long. You can use numbers, special characters, and special letters, but you cannot use a number as a first character. The BattleTag should also conform to Blizzard’s online code of conduct, which prohibits offensive language.
First, you must have a legitimate reason for changing your BattleTag. For example, you want to change your name from McCree to Cassidy. To change your BattleTag, you must submit a ticket to Blizzard. You need to submit it before November 5 in order to avoid being denied. Your BattleTag cannot contain words that are banned in the game, nor should it contain any personal information.
Second, you must be willing to pay $10 for a BattleTag change. Blizzard charges a nominal fee of $10 for changing your name. You can also choose your name as long as it follows the naming policy. The change is not permanent, and it will only take up to four weeks to be approved.
Activision Blizzard is also changing the name of its character McCree, who shares the same name as a former Blizzard developer and was linked to the notorious “Cosby Suite” at BlizzCon. The character will now be known as Cole Cassidy. This new name was made by the team behind Overwatch, which will be released on October 26.
Cost
You can request a name change from Blizzard, but there are some limitations. Blizzard charges $10 per name change. You cannot change your name on your own, but you can change your name on another account. Blizzard’s name change process takes at least four weeks.
Blizzard will only let you change your BattleTag once, and it won’t stack with other BattleTag name changes. You must submit your request for a name change by the November 5 cutoff date. Blizzard will notify you when your name change is complete. You should be aware that some name changes will not be approved, including swearwords.
