In-game @handle change

Is there any way to change my in-game @handle to some thing new.

The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.

    Not unless you want to start a brand new account...
    Might be a question that Support can answer better than the general public of the Forums...

    Yes...I did it. Put a ticket to GM but you have to have a "compelling" reason to change.​​

    Honestly, "I felt like it" should be compelling enough.

    I have asked support almost yearly and I always got the same copy & paste reply that it's generally not possible unless your name violates the ToS.

    it's not. if it is then you would have a ton of request from fraudsters and griefers who soil their name/handle and want a different one to pull the same "stuff" on other folks.

    just make TRIBBLE up - they have no way of proving your reasoning is true or not​​
    Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents

    A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
    An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
    A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
    A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"

    "It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch."
    "We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
    Passion and Serenity are one.
    I gain power by understanding both.
    In the chaos of their battle, I bring order.
    I am a shadow, darkness born from light.

    Good luck convincing them that @handle needs to be changed so that you can attend your uncle's funeral.

    So we just have to get his name into general use as a derogatory term and then report his name then PRESTO! he can get a name change!
    Sometimes I think I play STO just to have something to complain about on the forums.

    Dear Cryptic support team.

    I hereby formally request my @handles to be changed. Fellow players constantly react angry and upset towards me no matter what I write in public and private chats.

    Respectful

    I am actually wishing a @handle change was possible.
  • tiekosoratiekosora Member Posts: 325 Arc User
    Once upon a time, my @handle matched my forum handle. But Cryptic wen with this new forum, and we all had to choose a new one. If it made a difference, I would ask to have my forum name changed but meh.

    Oh? Hmm maybe I can get them to change mine, then again maybe I shouldn't? I have a twitter stalker who plays sto and they don't know me

    But my current @ I want to change since I used it before I came out...I don't know. It was easy when I thought I couldn't change it
