New way to change your Origin ID - 10/20/11

[SighKoPath]

I just saw this on reddit, posted by the BF3 community manager. Go to this site to change your origin ID, with this warning: "It just went up and we're still testing it, so be gentle!"

Change Origin ID

Here's the reddit thread: You Asked - We Listened: Change your Origin ID here for free with no hoops. : battlefield3

I've gone from my actual FirstnameLastname to big_twinky!

Looks like Origin finally made it easy to change your Origin ID.

I keep getting: Service not available...

Does that suprise you?

[S-Man]

Oh HAAAAYYYYYY! I just changed mine to CLR_S-Man. I hope that's OK

And, does this mean this is what your name will show up as in-game?

[juneau]

Just changed mine, don't think it's taken effect yet.

Why did this have to be web based again? And not part of the Origin app like Steam.

edit: I'm now JuneauCLR.

How does all this work?

I have 2 identities showing on the EA Account Information page. One is my "Master EA ID" and the other is "Battlefield". Am I able to use either as my in-game name or only the master one (or neither because the BF3 name is something else)?

Thanks

[Apache Warrior]

In BF3 you can only use the Master ID.
