    How to change your Origin Profile name !

    Step by step...
    I went to this page:

    http://support.ea.com/

    And clicked on "Contact Us" on the left side of the page.

    I filled in the necessary Information:

    Product: Origin
    Platform: PC
    Category: Account/Registration
    Subcategory: User ID/ Password help

    Once I got connected to a representative (takes as long as 45 minutes but as short as 2 minutes) I told them I needed to change my EA Master ID/ Origin ID. They will ask you to confirm the email address that you use for EA and your birth-date. Once that's taken care of they should go on to help you change it.

    I tried changing it to my current forum name "TheSilentAssasin" but the said that was taken. I tried telling them that's MY name but it didn't seem to matter to them because once the name has been registered even if its yours its gone. So I told them to change it to "SilentAssasinCLR".

    They then told me to log out of EA/Origin (recommend you download Origin and login with that to ensure it worked) and tell them if it worked. If it did then you should be good to go

    I also asked them about whether your Origin ID would be your soldier name and it seems to differ from one representative to another. One told me "Yes your Origin ID will be your soldier name" and the other one (the one who helped me change my ID despite the fact the first representative told me that it wasn't possible to change it) told me "They currently do not have that information available to them.

    That's pretty much it. Also, make sure you go back to this page:

    https://profile.ea.com/myprofile.do

    Ensure it says your EA ID is what you want it to be and that it is your default persona because I'm almost certain whatever your EA ID is that is what your Origin ID will be.

    Update:

    Now this is what they ask:

    Plase provide me below information.

    Account Registered Email address:
    Current Master EA ID Name:
    Verified Registered Date of Birth:
    Customer's 3 Choices for new Name:










    I made a new thread out of this, it is so good it needs its own thread.,...

    I tried to change it through the Origin Live Chat.... they cannot help you at all, and I wasted almost 45 mins waiting for a person !!

        My Origin Account has my Master EA ID and a Battlefield ID. The Battlefield ID is Apache Warrior. Will I be able to use my Battlefield ID since it is linked to my Origin Account?

          Probably not. I think their system will show it as already claimed.

              I wonder about this because I don't know if I was goldenfool or fooler in 2142.
              But goldenfooler had no problems.
