Quite often, PCF members request username changes. Rather than repeatedly type out the current PlanetCalypsoForum policy regarding such, I will refer them to this thread in the future.
The real-cash economy nature of Entropia Universe requires caution when dealing with player/avatar identities, and by extension, their corresponding PlanetCalypsoForum usernames. This is also why PlanetCalypsoForum has a very strict rule limiting members to a single forum account.
The official PlanetCalypsoForum policy regarding forum username changes is as follows:
A request to change your PlanetCalypsoForum username will only be granted if
both of the following conditions are met:
- You have fewer than 100 posts
- You have been a member of the forum for less than 6 months
Beyond those limits, there is a good chance that other PlanetCalypsoForum members have become acquainted with your forum username, and possibly have associated that username with your Entropia Universe avatar name.
This policy is intended to avoid potential abuses (i.e. in the trading forums), and to avoid causing general confusion for other PCF members.
If you find yourself 'stuck' with an PCF username that does not correspond to your Entropia Universe avatar name, a good solution is to include your avatar name in your forum signature, so that other members can more easily make the association.
**NOTE**
You are only allowed to have
ONE member account on PlanetCalypsoForum. If you decide to circumvent this username change policy by creating a secondary PlanetCalypsoForum account, you
WILL get banned by the automated multiple-account detection software that is in use on PlanetCalypsoForum, and will risk having your original account banned as well.
