Name Change / ID contains a prohibited word or character

@Sky-sensei1990 Hi,

The issue is with the dash in the name. It won't return the name in the search, but in our database it will occupy the name.

Try searching the same name without the dash to see whether you can find a user occupying that name then.

Unfortunately going by a different handle is the only solution at this point.

Cheers,

Nils

And again, thanks for nothing. EA the epitome of awful ruining games since it's conception. 

I cant get anything to work, I need to change my name to reflex-US- for a clan, Ive tried 4reflex-US-, _reflex_-US- __reflex__-US-, xreflex-US- and everytime I try something new it still says its invalid, I've also tried 3 different emails since I needed to change that as well and it says its invalid

@xreflex-US-

That name has already been taken by someone else. Try changing it to something else that is similar.

Hello! For example i wanted to change to name Kays and checked in the battlelog database no one taken this.can not change( how?!?!

@Kaysfps

A player can choose to not be found by players he doesn't know. EA usernames are also shared amongst games so it is possible that the player isn't on Battlelog.

i think it is bad for origin and ea, they must fix this. 

I searched  in origin with id and also didn't find anything

@Kaysfps

I checked - the ID is taken by another player. They most likely have their privacy settings set in such a way that they don't want to be found by unknown players. 

This is currently working as intended and won't be changed. I do understand that you would like that ID but since it is taken you will need to try another one.

ok, thanks for reply!
