Changing your nickname

To change your nickname, go in-game with your existing nickname and do the following:

• Use the /account command
  
• Select Change your nickname
  
• Enter your current password for verification
  
• Choose a new nickname
  
• Click Next -> Close
  

Using this method, you may change your name once every 14 days.
If you wish to have a nickname that is already registered but has been inactive for a long time, refer to our Nickname policy.

Note: Players can no longer change their nicknames via the Nuwani bot on IRC. We've simplified the process with in-game integration.

Changing your password

If you already know your current password and wish to change it, do the following:

• Use the /account command
  
• Select Change your password
  
• Enter your current password for verification
  
• Enter your new password
  
• Confirm your new password
  
• Close
  

If you've lost your password, contact a Management member on the forum, IRC, or in-game. After verifying account ownership, we'll send you a temporary password that you can use to login with and set a new password. We strongly discourage account sharing.

Note: Players can no longer change their password via the Nuwani bot on IRC. We've simplified the process with in-game integration.

Managing aliases on your account (VIP feature)

You may use multiple nicknames for the same account using the alias feature. For instance, if your registered nickname is Player_A, you may add Player_B as an alias and use the same login credentials as Player_A, keeping your statistics intact. This is an exclusive feature for VIP members which enables them to use multiple nicknames without the need to change their main nickname each time.

To manage aliases, do the following:

• Use the /account command
  
• Select Manage nickname aliases
  
• To create an alias, select Create new alias and enter the nickname
  
• To remove an alias, repeat the first two steps and double-click on the alias you wish to delete from your account
  
• A maximum of 2 aliases can be active at a time
  
• An alias can be added once every 7 days

• fight club kills, fight club deaths
