Unable to change EA ID

When trying to change my EA ID it says choose a valid ID but gives no other information. It doesn’t seem to matter what I enter it gives me the same message every time.

    Hey XxOFFSETxX​ as there are millions of EA users a lot of usernames are taken so if seeing that error the best thing to do is keep trying till you find one accepted.

    wow, thank you for the completely unhelpful answer, because it never occurred to me to try multiple variations of the screen name. 

    I’m not really sure why I keep giving EA a chance between the abysmal launch of battlefield 2042 the basically unusable website and the ineptitude of the community manager, I’m not sure why I’m even trying to play the latest battlefield. 

  • I have the same issue. And it’s not the first time I’ve had this issue. Years ago my ID randomly changed to some random letters and numbers and heard nothing from support. Just had to keep trying and trying until it finally went through. Now, I have the same issue again, I want to change it, but I can’t 

  • Ea is garbage, this isn’t because an ID is already used, because you get the message no matter what name you put in, you can put the most random thing in that nobody will ever pick, but you’ll  get an id already in use. 
    This is an EA issue.
