You Can Now Change Your Battle.net Name Whenever You Want For $10
On Battle.net, it's possible to change your BattleTag free of charge as long as it's the first time you do it. Now, if you're still unhappy with your username, you can change it as many times as you like for a fee.
Blizzard writes, "Whether you've outgrown your BattleTag or you've decided it's simply time for a change, you can update your BattleTag with just a few clicks." By heading here, you can choose a new name for $10. Blizzard reassures users that friend lists will remain the same. If you've never changed your name before, you're still eligible for one free name change. You can choose whatever BattleTag you like as long as it coheres to Battle.net's naming policy.
In comparison, Xbox Live grants users the ability to change their gamertags once, whereas PlayStation Network doesn't allow any name alterations.
Last month, Blizzard introduced Facebook streaming to Battle.net, which you can read about here.

For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
