Can't change EA Account ID
I want to change my ID, but I got an error message saying 'ID contains a prohibited word or character'. Obviously the validation is wrong because I don't use any bad word there and I've seen people with racist, sexist or vulgar names.
In case anyone ask what ID I was trying to set - 'fukuro' - it means owl in Japanese. It is really annoying that you can't put some normal word because someone set the validation wrong or maybe the person responsible for validation was paranoid?
I believe the the word I am trying to use it regarded as English '*'. Well, if I want to use Japanese version for that profanity which is 'fakku' I have no problem registering my ID.
- Hi @NolanGraysonnn
It could be because of the first three letters, although they don’t really mean anything they could represent another word.
The only solution is to use a different name or change the spelling slightly, I don’t think there is a way around it otherwise.
I agree it can be a little OTT at times.
