Noob Time: Changing Account Name

[-Psy-]

So I want to change my name in-game. I went to the gamespy website, logged in, changed my nickname, loaded up BF2, looked at BFHQ and found that my name was changed. Easy, I thought...

When I went in game, I noticed my name was the same as it was previously (psychofreak001)

How do I make my name change in-game?

Hm... as far as I know, you can't change your account name but you can make a new account.

Sorry pal

Dammit.

Well, how would I delete my old account? I can't create a new account with the same email address.

 

[xombine]

You can't...I don't think. At least I don't know of a way. Just make another account with a different email accoutnt.

Hmmm, well I'm downloading Gamespy Arcade as it allows you to delete previous accounts.

 

[Kyorisu]

Are you sure, I didn't think Gamespy Arcade allowed you to do that as the servers are EA's

 

[AiM]

You don't have to delete previous accounts, just create a new one with a 'joe-shmoe' email address.
