Nope. You'd have to deactivate your current profile and start up a whole new one. There's no way to just change your name.

well put, you can create a new account and import your friend list though, although no one will have your new sn until you IM for the first time.

moofooga is correct there is no way to change your screen name beyond deactivating and then creating a new profile.

The only way you can in fact have the same members on your friends list if you choose to change your user name is to in fact send each of them another request to be put on their friends list again and they accept.

Hope this helps.


Thank You
