Origin ID changing

I wanted to change my BF3 name so I did the steps and when ever I put a different name in a get a red message that says" This page is currently unavailable. We may be experiencing unusually high load or undergoing maintenance. Please try again later."  So I tried a random bunch of letters and that worked.  But now I still can't change it without the error.

    There's a minimum of letters and if you select an already used ID, it will come back failed.

    If it still doesn't work, try in another browser.

    Oh, and Origin is down right now, try when it cvomes back up.

    There is a minimum number of characters allowed, as well as a limit on what kind of characters can be used. The standard is usually 6-20 something characters, and only letters and numbers are allowed. 

    Cheers,
