How to change your name on Clash of Clans: Lately, all your friends have been talking about Clash of Clans , a free game for smartphones and tablets in which the goal is to grow your village, accumulate resources and build an army in order to fight against other clans.
Intrigued by these mechanics, you too decided to download Clash of Clans on your device and, giving little importance to the first phase of the game, you created your village using the first name that came to your mind. However, regretting your choice, you tried to retrace your steps but all your attempts to change the name have not given the desired result.
I guessed it, right? Then don’t worry: if you want, I can tell you how to change the name on Clash of Clans by explaining the detailed procedure to change the name you have chosen when creating your village and indicating all the necessary requirements to succeed in your intent. In addition, I will also explain how to get new gems, useful for changing names more than once. Courage: cut out five minutes of free time and read on. All the information you need are right below!
Preliminary information
Before going into detail in this tutorial and explaining how to play checkers on the Internet , let me explain when you can change your nickname and how many times you can do it.
At the time of writing this guide, only players who have built a Level 5 (or higher) Town Hall can change their name. New users or those who have not yet reached this level, must continue to earn coins in order to improve the Municipality of their village and reach the level indicated above.
Furthermore, it must be said that you can change your name whenever you want, but only the first modification is completely free: subsequently, you can choose a new name only in exchange for gems and each new modification requires a number of gems always greater.
In light of the above, I recommend that you carefully choose your name (special characters cannot be used inside it), making sure not to use an offensive or inappropriate nickname. In this case, the staff of Supercell (the company that developed Clash of Clans) could change the name to their liking without providing any compensation.
Change your name on Clash of Clans the first time
The procedure to change name on Clash of Clans the first time is quick and easy. All you have to do is start the game, access the settings and start the procedure to enter the new name you intend to use.
To proceed, then start the Clash of Clans app, wait for your game to load and, first, tap on the Town Hall of your village, to verify that you have reached at least level 5. If not, if you have enough coins to increase the level, press the Upgrade button until you reach the level indicated above. If, on the other hand, you do not have enough coins, continue playing to get new coins or access the Resources section of the Clash of Clans shop, in order to buy coins in exchange for gems.
As soon as you have reached level 5 of the Town Hall, to change your name, press the gear wheel icon on the bottom right to access the game settings, then tap on the Show item related to the Other settings option and , in the new screen that appears, find the Other Settings section .
Press, then, on the Change name button , enter the new nickname you want to use in the Enter the new name field (making sure you comply with the rules relating to the names I have also told you about previously) and press the Continue button . At this point, enter the name again in the Re- enter the new name field , tap the Continue button and confirm your intention, by typing the Confirm command in the appropriate field and pressing the OK button .
If everything went well, your new name will be immediately visible in the upper left, above the bar indicating the game level reached, and there will no longer be any trace of your old nickname.
Change name on Clash of Clans for the second time
If you’re wondering if it’s possible to change your name on Clash of Clans for the second time , the answer is yes. In fact, as mentioned above, it is allowed to change one’s name several times in exchange for gems and the procedure is almost identical to what is indicated in the paragraphs dedicated to changing one’s name the first time .
To change your name on Clash of Clans again, start the game, access its Settings (by tapping on the gear wheel icon ) and press the Show button under the Other settings item . In the new screen that appears, tap on the Change name button to display the number of gems needed to complete the operation.
If the gems at your disposal are not enough to change the name for the second time, it will be useful to know that you can get them for free both by completing the objectives and participating in special events that offer gems as a reward. In addition, on some occasions, you can also find new gems by removing trees and rocks or by opening the gem chest that will sometimes appear in your village.
Alternatively, you can buy gems from the Clash of Clans shop: to proceed in this sense, press on the item Shop present at the bottom right, access the Treasure section by tapping on the gems icon and, in the new screen displayed, make sure you have Gems tab selected .
Then choose the option you are interested in: a handful of gems (80 gems at 1.09 euros), a stack of gems (500 gems at 5.49 euros), a bag of gems (1,200 gems at 10.99 euros), Sack of gems (2,500 gems at 21.99 euros), Box of gems (6,500 gems at 54.99 euros) and Chest of gems (14,000 gems at 109.99 euros) and complete the purchase through Google Play or iTunes.
As soon as you have reached the number of gems needed to change your name on Clash of Clans, access the Game Settings , press on the Show item related to the Other Settings option and tap the Change Name button .
Press, then, on the number of gems needed to change the name, enter your nickname in the fields Enter the new name and Re- enter the new name and press the Continue button , then type the Confirm command in the appropriate field and confirm your intention, by tapping the OK button .
It will be useful to know that you can change your name as many times as you want, but each new change will require an increasing number of gems.
In case of doubts or problems
If you followed the indications I provided to you in the previous paragraphs, but despite all the problems that prevented you from changing your name, I suggest you access the Clash of Clans support section to try to solve your problems in complete autonomy.
To do this, start Clash of Clans, wait for your village to load and press the gear wheel icon , to access the Game Settings . In the new screen displayed, press the Help and assistance button on the bottom left to access the Help section , indicate the problem found in the Describe your problem field and tap on the result of your interest.
If, on the other hand, you prefer to contact Supercell support directly, access the Help and assistance section of Clash of Clans and press the Contact us option on the top right. In the new screen that appears, describe your problem in the Enter your message field and tap on the paper airplane icon to send the message and start the conversation.
