    Changed name since Screenshot Contest, what do?

    So I was surprised to learn I won the 66th slot in the Memories NA contest! Neat! One problem though is that I've since used a fantasia and name change. Is there anything I need to consider?

    I did the same thing on the EU aura Twitter contest. I asked a GM in game, they said try here or Twitter. I tried both and got no response. I made a back up character with my previous name so the entries are still tied to the account, but even that may not be enough (if the prize only goes to that character then it's wasted).

    Technically it's the same character still though. :P

    I'm hoping (for many reasons) that they keep a record of name/server changes made over time for accounts. To make it easier to track down players for handing out prizes, or punishments (if they try to change names and servers to escape a history of abusing the rules only).

    Most games *do* track this.

    Hell there's even a website for World of Warcraft that's pretty decent of tracking you through name, guild, server and faction transfers based off achievements...

    They do! :O

    I have changed my name sooooo many times over the course of 1.0 >> 2.0 (though haven't changed since 3.0), and I was able to have some old 1.0 titles restored to me even though my name has changed umpteen times since then :3

    Act in such a way that you treat humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of another, always at the same time as an end and never simply as a means
