Title: Name change issues - Please Post here
Post by: RubensCherub on February 04, 2015, 08:55:52 PM
  We are aware Mojang now allows name changes. If you have changed your name- Congrats on the new name! Please be prepared to wait up to 7 days for full access to all of your protections, your clan and other name related things AFTER you notify an Admin. If you do not notify an Admin, we can not help you. This process is not automatic and requires an Admin to input information in order for your things to transfer from one name to the other. Please make sure you remain patient.

 If you DO NOT notify an Admin we CAN NOT help you.

 - You can send forum mail

- Send in game mail

- Send a help request ticket (visit /warp admin)

- post on the name change forum


 This is NOT an automatic process. Name change switch-overs must be manually initiated by an Admin when the server is shut down.
 We do not mind doing this once, but for players changing there names every 30 days, expect longer delays.


If you are having name change issues please post your old name and new name here.

Please note: Posts here that are confirmed fixed will be removed, to keep clutter to a minimum. So if you don't see your post here, it means you're all good now.

Please note:

When you initially log in after changing your username, most things on the server won't know who you are, but we do need people to log in at least once so we're able to get things switched over.

At this point in time, we do the username migrations in batches, as the server has to be offline for it to happen. The process is mostly automated, but some things still require some work on your part, such as: Un-taming and re-taming of your wolves if you have any, and removing/recreating your ChestShops if you have any. If someone's got DeathChest permissions, those will need to be re-made as well.

We're working to get it as automated as we can, but it'll never be a completely painless thing for anyone who changes their name, unfortunately.

Hi I am PixelStory/Atriades. I was a leader of ARC as Atriades but now I am not. No one can promote me because one of the leaders left the clan. (ShadeSlayer01)

Me too

You'll need to be more specific than this if either of you are having issues.



Hi I am PixelStory/Atriades. I was a leader of ARC as Atriades but now I am not. No one can promote me because one of the leaders left the clan. (ShadeSlayer01)

I'll look into getting this fixed for you on the next username restart later tonight.

If you change your name, you have to keep it for 30 days, however after 30 days, you have an extra 7 to claim your old name again. After that week is over, your old name may be taken by someone else.

I cannot remove the signs in my chestshop because the server thinks they belong to the old me (shade_slayer01). I need a admin to remove them.

Changing your in-game name will not prevent the person from hacking into your account again unless you have not migrated your Minecraft account onto Mojang or have changed your password to something more secure.

Unfortunately, yes. You have to change your password, sorry you were hacked, alspot :(

 You can be sure your account is migrated if you log in to Minecraft with an email address and password rather than a username and password. If you log in with your username, then your account is not migrated.

 If you are migrated, change the password for the associated email address as well. If someone has accessed it even after a password change, then they are most likely using your email to get to the password again.

 So

1.) Change your email password

2.) Go to mojang.com here: https://account.mojang.com/

3.) Click on "My Account" > "Settings"

4.) At this point, IF YOU CAN, consider changing the associated email address if you have an alternative email you can use. Make SURE the new email address DOES NOT have the same password as the Minecraft account OR the old email account. If you can not do this or are not sure you understand, ask a parent or guardian to help you.

5.) Change the Minecraft account's password to something very different than your old password.

 To change players items over, the server must be shut down and an Admin must initiate the switch-over then wait to restart the server.
 This is not a top priority for us, especially for those who change their name many times and know this happens each time. We will get to it as soon as we are reasonably able to.
