Changing your name but Keeping your Stats...

[H2Yo]

Hi Guys,
Now I know this has been mentioned in other threads but for the life of me, I cannot find them. Here is my situation:

My username in BF2: -=H2Yo=- is at Lance Corp. and I have unlocked my Medic Rifle, I have most badges, a few medals and a couple of Ribbons. For a few months I have been playing alone on any ranked server with a low ping.

It's seems now my friends have bought this game and have started a clan [MTF], they desperately want me to join but if I do so, all my stats will be reset if I change my name to [MTF]-=H2Yo=-. This is something I don't want to do.

Is there anyway to carry over your stats to a different account? Maybe EA and Dice should implement a two part field for creating a username. First Field being Clan (A name you can alter at will) second being your username (Locked down and unchangeable).

eg.

Field 1: [MTF] Field 2: -=H2Yo=-

= [MTF]-=H2Yo=-

There is no way to currently do this. The v1.03 patch due out within the next month, is supposed to address this issue.

Well, lets hope that they will fix this in v1.03 patch cause I would join a clan, but don't feel like it because I don't want to redo

reading what ea is posting about it usually helps....

Re: Changing your name but Keeping your Stats...

...and I read everything EA has officially released. Nothing written about the ability to change your name.

Feel free to post this official information you seem to have and prove me wrong.

Your sarcasm is not appreciated. Post something useful, or don't post at all.

This is the extent of the official info:

Hi everyone, and thanks for supporting BF2. Thanks to all of you out there, BF2 has seen great success around the world and we’d like to thank you all for that.

Since its launch, we’ve tried to give BF2 all the support it deserves by releasing patches with the fixes and improvements you’ve asked for. Unfortunately, we haven’t lived up to the standards we’ve set for ourselves and we know that. So all of us at EA and DICE are working extra hard to make sure that the BF2 experience improves dramatically in the coming weeks.

Towards the end of August, we will be releasing a new patch, 1.03. This patch is currently underway and will undergo thorough testing before it goes out to avoid the problems that have occurred in the past. There are over 140 fixes and improvements in this patch. Here are just a few of them:

Server and Client performance improvements
Improved Server Browser – added Favorites and History Lists.
Point-farming prevention - game will stop Support/Medic/Engineer point farming exploits.
Squads - locked squad leader will get a message if someone wants to join.
Many HUD improvements - see the names of others in your vehicle, zoom level changing depending on vehicle, map zoom depending on map setup (16, 32 or 64 player map) etc.
Teamkilling changes – the logic of how teamkills are tracked will be changed.
Gameplay tweaks - the way transport helicopters work will be tweaked.
Additional scoring changes - players who destroy an enemy commander's assets will be given points.

There are many, many more fixes that will be included in the patch but we’re looking forward to everyone moving to 1.03 to get the best BF2 experience out there on a level, cheat-free playing field.

We also know that there is still an issue with availability of slots on Ranked Servers. We’re all delighted that this new feature has been so popular, but we know that many of you are finding it hard to get onto a ranked server, especially at peak times. We are taking big steps and investing heavily to ensure that everyone can experience this side of BF2. New official servers have gone up in Europe and the US this week and you will see many more going up in the coming weeks. Our vision is to make sure you never have to wait to get onto a ranked server so you can enjoy the game at its best, and we will work to make that happen.

Thanks for being such fans of BF2. We’ve been listening to you and we’re determined to make BF2 the best online shooter experience out there. We hope you like the changes that are coming.
