Want to change either my login/account name or delete the account - how?

Hey there!

I am really uncomfortable with my user name and I would like to change it. I have already realised that it isn't that easy. My second idea was to delete this account and create a new one - but this doesn't work as well. I do know that friends only see my persona but eventhough I want to change it.
Is there any opportunity or is it pointless?
If it helps: I never bought any games - therefore there is no real reason for not deleting it right?

Thank you in advance

If you go into 'edit profile' your user name can be changed right at the top. I don't think limited accounts are stopped from doing that. Your old user name will still show if anyone clicks on the down arrow next to your name on while on your profile page, but it won't show when you make comments.

Thank you!
But there is no way of changing my login name, which can only be seen by me, or am I wrong?

I have to say I don't know. I have never changed my user name. All I can see is ismeurvoy. I don't see any other names attatched to your account. That will still be there if people purposefully check on your profile page.
