Sony is sending out invitations once again. Welcome to the PlayStation®4 System Software 6.10 Change Online ID Preview! Congratulations! You've been selected to help us test features of the System Software 6.10 Update. Your participation in this programme is extremely important to us and we look forward to hearing from you on our forums! Spoiler Change Online ID Overview As part of the System Software 6.10 preview, we are rolling out the upcoming Change Online ID system feature. As a preview user you will be able to change your Online ID using the new system tools. To use this feature please ensure you have a clear understanding of the implications of changing your Online ID and the software’s restrictions – described in the following sections – before software installation. If you are unsure, do not download and install the Preview Programme software.Important Information Before Changing your Online ID: Not all games and applications for PS4™, PS3™, PS Vita, and other PlayStation® systems support the Online ID change feature. If you change your Online ID: • You may lose access to content (including paid-for content) that you have acquired for your games, including content like add-ons and virtual currency. • You may lose your progress within games, including game saved data, leaderboard data and progress toward trophies. • Parts of your games and applications might not function properly, both online and offline. • Your previous Online ID(s) may remain visible to you and other players in some places.Change Online ID Restrictions During Preview: The changes during the preview will adhere to the following structure: • First change is free for all users. • Second change will be charged at €9.99 / £7.99 (PlayStation®Plus subscribers receive a 50% discount). • If your previous Online ID violates any of the current Terms of Service, you will not be able to revert back to your previous Online ID. • You can revert to your previous Online ID once per account during the preview period. • Sub-Accounts cannot utilise the Change Online ID feature. • After you change your Online ID, it may take a few hours for some services and applications to reflect the new ID. If for any reason you have issues after changing your Online ID you can revert back to your previous ID at no charge. However: • you may only do this once during the preview period; • changing back to your previous Online ID may not fix all issues (you may not recover all or any lost content, progress and functionality; and • if you want to change back, do so as soon as possible because changing back to your previous Online ID may affect content, game progress and functionality associated with your new Online ID. Customer Support: During the preview period if issues occur after changing your Online ID, and you need to revert to your previous ID, please use the following link: www.playstation.com/onlineid/revert.

Lance_87 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I wonder why it needs a firmware to something that could be easily done on the PSN website, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Banana_Sausage47 Posted October 23, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 23, 2018 Losing save data and also losing access to stuff you've paid for. Yeesh. 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post pinkrobot_pb Posted October 23, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 23, 2018 You just lost your trophy progres, save games, DLC you paid for and a lot of your games don't work anymore, but at least your username is different in a couple of places now. Wow, just wow. 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post PooPooBlast Posted October 23, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) Holy crap. All of these sacrifices for a name change? I wasn't going to change mine but any little interest I had has completely waned off. Edited October 23, 2018 by PooPooBlast 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Maxie_M0us3 Posted October 23, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) Let’s hope that feedbacks will bring Sony to keep everything more structured like keeping the original ID as “Account ID”, then our new ID as “Display ID”. This way, we can still play online features from old games as our original ID, we all keep our save data, trophy progression and such, all intact while we’re identified in the PSN as the original ID, exactly like Steam, when our login name is still the original one. At this right moment, Sony just kills off the long waited feature... people from changing their ID, fearing to lose it all. I’ve been waiting for this feature for years and I’m afraid of jeopardize the integrity of my trophies, games and save files... Sony truly cannot make a proper network, they really fucked up the database from the ground up! Men, I cannot wait to hear the complains from the testers...

Vladicarus- Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I was going to try and remove the dash from "Vladicarus-" but a simple dash is not worth getting rid of if i lose stuff, australia dlcs/games are expensive as hell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakebit10 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I guess it is a good thing I have no interest in changing my online name. For those who want this it seems you could be taking a big risk by changing your name online. Good luck to anyone who does. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to anyone who does. it does suck mostly for those who made an ID when they where like..12, and they have something stupid with a bunch of X's and numbers.

Carol Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 So many things that can go wrong just because of a name change. It’s almost as bad as having to create a new account, after all. Anyway, I didn’t receive any e-mail, but I would really appreciate if someone testing this can verify how PS3 and Vita games actually react, especially Uncharted 3’s multiplayer. This game is my main concern. I really wanted to change my ID, but now I don’t know anymore... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxie_M0us3 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) @Carol I cannot believe that Sony can fuck account ID up that hard. Edited October 23, 2018 by Maxie Mouse 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post shary96 Posted October 23, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 23, 2018 So this is turning out to be a feature for casual users... There's absolutely no incentive for trophy hunters to take the risk. Well, thanks for trying Sony, I guess... 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honor_Hand Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 The amount of stuff that needs to be sacrificed in order to get a name change in just staggering and not worth it, in my opinion. Makes you think just how F'ed up PSN was build from the ground up. I mean, really? Not only the feature may not work on all games spanning multiple systems but there is also a chance that you could lose stuff you paid for and even progress on the games too. And that it can also screw up your leaderboards and progress on trophies, for a fee no less. At least the first time is free, but each successive name change is just a stab in your heart at that point. Now. I wasn't thinking about changing name myself. After all, there is but only 1 Felicia-obsessed Honor_Hand floating around in the cyberspace but it makes me feel bad for those of you that were thinking about changing your names. There is almost no incentive to do so 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let people call me helder then... Itd still be a risk changing it to brunobomb because of sensitive people online. The first thing that comes to my mind reading it is you dropping the biggest deuce. Careful, the sjw and internet police might get riled up. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
