Hello all. i'm genaral_mitch! and that name is old, recently, on BF2,
I joined [IGF] and I became [IGF]Goose now and can I change my
name from general_mitch to Goose?

As a general rule, the staff will not change usernames for users. This is primarily because it's easiest for everyone on the boards to know who everyone else is if their name stays the same.

we have no way to change your username unless we close your account and you start a new one or you agree to pay our $356,487.00 name change fee called "im this person but I want to be this new person". I hope this answers your questions. In summary...no

So, is the only way to make a new account?

Making a new account would not be the solution as it would be against the site rules.

Simply put, you're just stuck with what you have now.

Sweet, now I can spend that 400 grand I had lying around

Is this a joke?

Nope. No joke.

Well of course the paying a smooth 400K to change your name is a joke, but the gist of what guru and I was saying is not a joke.
