    Legacy Username

    Hi there

    Today whilst editing my Uplay details and making sure they were correct, I saw a section that said Legacy Username, which was my online username for lots of my games that I had purchased, And it had a username that embarrasses me whilst playing online. I went through the guide on changing my username, but didn't allow me to change my Legacy Username. Now I'm stuck with it, and since my profile was made before the new feature, this has landed me stuck with it, and without an option to change it. If there is some way to change it of who would be able to give me some info that would be helpful .


    Thanks
    Tui

    Hello and welcome to the Forums,

    Hopefully this helps a little. You cannot change your Legacy Username but it is only an identifier and is required for your old titles. If you change your New Username now it is what players will see meaning your Display name. Make sure to take a look here and if you have any further questions or concerns please make sure to contact Ubisoft Support directly.

    How do I change my Uplay username and what do I need to know about it?

    What's the difference between my Legacy Username and my New Username?

    Your current Username will now become your ‘Legacy Username’, which cannot be changed, but will be saved permanently on your account.
    Your Legacy Username is a personal identifier displayed in your account information page only, and is unique to you. Your Legacy Username will be required for old Ubisoft titles prior to October 14th, 2014.
    Your New Username (display name), a personal identifier as well, appears in your profile on Club.ubi.com, is displayed on Ubisoft Club enabled console and PC titles (friends list included) and in-game for all the future Ubisoft titles, starting October 14th, 2014.
    Your New Username will automatically be your current Username until you decide to change it.

    MAD_ZOMBI_KILL: Hey there and welcome to the forums! As Black_Widow9, mentioned in the thread previously the Legacy username cannot be changed on the account. The Legacy username is only an identifier and is required for your old titles. However, I am sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. If you have any questions, please feel free to let us know.
