Comm-Link Online, Name Change, Updates...

Comm-Link Online, Blizzard's newest series of StarCraft 2 related news, is coming of age and is beginning to produce quality information for the community. #4 was released yesterday, August 21st, and contains some important updates for Battle.net players. Among which is the announcement that StarCraft 2 will soon see a "free" name change service for players, but they haven't said when.


Apparently some users registered under names they're not exactly happy with. Now, we're not quite sure why Blizzard is calling the changes "free" which would imply that they normally wouldn't be... But we'll deal with that as it comes.


There are also a series of interesting discussion pages that link to the hot topics of week including a couple of multiplayer discussions regarding heavy macro vs. micro and a community spotlight tips discussion.


We've also been sniffing around for Battle.net patch updates that might include some balance changes, but so far we've come up with nil. Keep checking back with us as we're expecting some changes here at StarCraft2Forum.org and we should be serving up more news than you can even handle!

MIssed something there, Joneagle

Only the first name change is free. Hence, why it is called the free name change.

 

I'm really glad they're giving away free name changes. I mistakenly though that when they asked for a name they wanted my REAL name. Well, long story short, every random person I play against knows my real name.

 

Well look at that, I did miss it. That's kind of dumb if you ask me.

 

That's kind of smart if you ask me. The last thing I'd want is a completely new list of friends every month or so. Also, I've read the comments on the free name change entry back then and I have to say most of the players who post are either plain dumb or are still living at home in mummy's care. To any of you reading this: nothing is for free and that's what makes the world go round. If you had your own company you wouldn't decline an opportunity to get even more money for something that would just cause clutter if made free.

I just hope these comments don't get to Blizzard. May they continue to offer high quality optional services for a fee as compensation for a job well done.
