Does anyone know how to change your @handle in this game? Seems like I heard it was possible.

    Only way I know of is to create a new account (a second one).
    Though I believe that is not something one should carry on a long discussion about here due to the TOS (I think).

    You can probably ask support. If it is possible, they'll probably do it if you have a legitimate reason for it.

    ^ This. You can get character renames for Zen but the @handle can only be changed by creating another account.
    It's not you- it's me. I just need my space.

    Being critical doesn't take skill. Being constructively critical- which is providing alternative solutions or suggestions to a demonstrated problem, however, does.

    Last I remember, the only way they would change it is if your @ handle was the same as your account name as it was a security risk. I don't know if that's changed but you'll have to send in a support ticket about it. We can't change it on our own.

    Ask support, but be careful what you wish for, as apparently they have great technical difficulties trying to change it back to what it was if you change your mind.
