How can clicking 'log in' on that page not do anything for me but work for other people? I get no response from the page when i click it.

Murray · 21 Oct 2011 at 01:45

Maybe your browser?

Deific · 21 Oct 2011 at 02:01

Nvm, it's loading now.

It's still broken/naffed/a stupid, stupid system.
It says my username is already taken, but it the username I REGISTERED in the past and is associated with other games.

The other problem is that if you try and search for the profile that's "mystically taken" it doesn't exist.

So yeah, at least they're aware of it but at this rate it look like I'll have to keep numbers next to my name. A friend who also visits ocuk tried every conceivable permiatation of his name, including smashing his keys to produce completely random names.

Nope, "It's taken".

Same as me. I just want to game with the name I always have, PapaLazaru.

It says it has been taken and it has, BY ME! :mad:

It is one of my god damn personas. Why cannot EA see how they have mucked this up for a lot of the older BF players?

I'm bumping this because it works.

Already mentioned, but people might miss it,

Zero Pope · 21 Oct 2011 at 08:09

Worked for me, I'm now Zero Pope, seeing as that's the name I use for most games now.

I will not work for people that want to change their EA I.D to one of their personas though.

Tweaker · 21 Oct 2011 at 09:37

So it only took 3 months for them to figure out people wanted to be able to change their names, amazing.

I had always thought that your Origin ID and your persona were different.

I have the battlefield persona MrLOL, is that why i can't take MrLOL as my Origin ID ?

How can you tell theres nobody with your Origin ID ?
