help @name

The @name command helpfile entry is:
@name <object>=<name> [<password>]. Sets the name field of <object> to <name>. <name> cannot be empty; a null name is illegal. <password> must be supplied to rename a player. Wizards can rename any player but still must include the password.

The @name Policy

The @name command is locked and can not be used. That means your current name is your "forever-name."

The [fail] message for @name says 'Only wizards can rename players.' This may give the impression that players can request or petition [wizards] to change their name, but wizards will not go into the business of name-changes.

Changing your Name

Please just go back to the web page and generate a new [character].

Managing your Names

To manage your 'names':

1. Learn [@toadme] to delete names/[alt]s
2. As with most [commands], use #help for help, as in '@toadme #help'
3. Learn to use the registration form to create new names/alts
4. Make sure your [spam filter] does not hinder our email validation
5. To validate, click link in email, and then click 'Verify' on the page itself
6. If validation went wrong, your alt will be [recycle]d and you must re-register
