Gateway Merger Character Name Change Guide

Dear Maplers,

As the 2 Gateways are merged and the new alliance is formed, it is inevitable that there will be players who share the same name...

As we would not wish to make a mistake when handing out rewards to our beloved players, Artemis players who shares name with Ares players will be given a chance to change their IGN!

Here's How It Works

1) During the patch and gateway merger on the 3rd of February 2016, all Artemis players who share IGNs with Ares players will have their characters' IGNs changed to @MYxxxx


2) Upon logging in to an account with @MYxxxx IGNs, you will be given the chance to change the name of that particular character!


Important : Only characters that has their names automatically updated to @MYxxxx due to the gateway merger will be allowed to change their IGNs through this method. All other IGNs that have not been randomized by the merger will not be eligible for an IGN change.


3) Upon clicking on the "Character Name Change" button, you will be give the option to change to a new IGN.


Please note that you will NOT be able to change your name or IGN to one that has already been registered or used by an existing player.


4) After entering your chosen IGN, you can still cancel and enter another IGN.



Please note that you will NOT be able to change your mind once you click 'OK' at this stage.


5) After finalizing your IGN, you will receive a confirmation of your current IGN and your new IGN as seen below:




6) Wait for the next server check and your IGN will be changed to your selected new IGN!
Note : IGN changes will only be processed at every server check during the month of February 2016. All requests received after 1st March 2016 will be processed during the first server check of every month until February 2017.
