Oooooo Appollo,
Sorry to hear about that buddy, but there is not a snowballs chance...

Your best course of action is to call Tech Support, talk real slow and sweet, and ask if he can recover your names. But I don't think that there is a possibility that you can change names as of yet...

Good luck,
Odin

What Odin said is probably your best chance, ALTHOUGH, when you fill in a new name on your account, it gives the message that "it may be DIFFICULT to change your name in the future" Note: It did not say impossible...coming from a woman who is used to getting what she wants..hehhehe...I bet if you call tech support and discuss this with them rationally (kiss-butt), seems to me all they would have to do is go into their database and delete your user names, of course they might not WANT to do it, especially on a regular basis, but you are a customer, and they should care about their PR enough to do this for you, if some joe-shmoe doesn't want to, ask to talk to his supervisor, and then calmly tell him the problem, if you push it enough, they will do something about it...hopefully...just keep us posted if it does work...and good luck.

Sounds to me like the butt-kissing route is the way to go...add plenty of shameless begging too.

Let us all know how it turns out.

Good Luck,

That is exactly what I did and it worked!!! I just told them my problem and gave them the password and everything and they deleted the name. Worlds will understand!!

It is possible for them to delete your name but it
would have to be for an extremely meaningful
reason from what I've seen....like entering your
password in the same field as your name, I myself
thought I hit the tab key to change from the user
name field to the password field and intern created
a name that contained my password within it...The
worlds gurus did help me but I did have to beg in a
since for them to do it...It wasn't easy and took two
weeks for them to get around to deleting the
name.
