Scar Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Hello there. How can I get to change my nickname on WLM2011?, for some reason it has my profile/account name displayed. Is the nickname option gone for good in this new version or what's the issue here? Thanks.

CNSBarry Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 It now displays your Profile/Account name and doesn't allow you to set Nicknames.

limok Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Just came across this what the flip were the devs thinkin taking out this feature which is arguably the main feautre of any online chat app. Since it's out of beta I doubt they gonna bring the nickname feature back.
