Player Can't Change Name. HELP a Guild Officer Out :)

I’m an officer in a guild. One of our players is very productive and advancing nicely but their name is Mol Eliza. We’ve been trying to get this player to change their name, recently we learned by communicating through Discord they cannot change their name. :(

This player sent a picture (below) of the in-game screen that shows their player information, and the PENCIL TO CHANGE THEIR NAME IS MISSING. Since the pencil is missing, the player has no way to change their name or interact with the in-game chat box feature.

I walked the player through how to set up their iPhone account which included adding their date of birth (DOB) to their Apple ID. At this time, I confirmed they are over 21 years old. I also helped them update their EA account which also included adding a DOB. Then they uninstalled the game on their iPhone and reinstalled the game. After all this, the PENCIL IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE. :(

THIS IS WHERE I NEED YOUR HELP.
(1) What does it mean when the “pencil” on their player information screen is not available?
(2) What can we do to help them change their name?


Sadly, if we don’t get this players name changed before another Mol Eliza joins the guild, the guild leader may kick both Mol Eliza’s. We don’t want this to happen. Our current Mol Eliza is very productive and plays daily. Please help.

  • It means the account is setup as a minor account , simply reinstalling the game doesn’t change anything, I think, iirc, you need to wipeout the cache , and something else to try workaround the minor setting, conversely a different device that is set up as an adult upon initial install should have no issues ,

    Also, you can hav them contact support to change the name, Won’t get them access to chat or to change it themselves, but it can be done,

    And. If they are such a good player. You know their gp, and their arena squad, etc, no reason to “accidentally” boot them.
  • If they have their account age set to underage, they can’t change their name until their old enough, whenever that is
  • I really appreciate the responses and they are helpful. Having multiple Mol Eliza's just becomes a logistics mess for them and guild leadership.

    The player contacted EA by email. EA responded with an email with a generic message saying something like, "thanks for contacting us, we are looking into this...." Their response offered no solutions.

    Less than an hour ago I set up a fake account on an old Android device, that was set back to factory settings, with the birth year 2005. After completing the introductory phase of the game, I had the option to change my name.

    Since EA is no help was hoping someone in the community had some solid answers or could share their experience with trying to resolve this.
