NorthStar.9603 Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 Ok, this is a bit harder than I thought.I wanted to buy Guild Wars 2 expansions with the current sales, and linking it to my current GW1 account. But the GW2 registration site disallowed me to register a new GW2 account using my GW1 account e-mail address.I was able to log into https://account.arena.net with my GW1 account details and purchase GW2 and it's expansions from there. But I did not get the option to choose a GW2 display name and was assigned a random one instead.Is there any way I can get a normal UserName.1234 style display name instead of this monstrosity?
JustTrogdor.7892 Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 That display name is a bug that seems to happen to a few people. Support should be able to fix it for you. You will need to submit a support ticket and request assistance.https://help.guildwars2.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
NorthStar.9603 Posted January 8, 2019 Author Posted January 8, 2019 Thanks. I submitted a support request there.
NorthStar.9603 Posted January 10, 2019 Author Posted January 10, 2019 Support fixed the issue for me. Thank you.To anyone who wondered what my display name was before the change: Something like ABC12EFG-3H4I-JK56-7LMO-PQR8ST9UVWXYTime to go find some shinies.
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 Yes, occasionally it will assign the computer UNID. Not sure what triggers that, though.
