Can you change your account name and still keep all your toons, current friends etc?

Or do you have to open a new account? Inquiring minds want to know. Thank you in advance

Sirona_Starr✭✭✭I checked that page - it's not very clear on what you keep etc. I should have more specifically asked in game friends, because that seems to be linked to an @name, rather than an account, if that makes sense.

InaMoonlight✭✭✭✭✭You keep your friends and guilds, BUT may wanna warn your friends of your namechange, what you WILL lose is sales in your tradingguild, they will stick to your old name so your new will look like it didnt sell anything, have a chat with your tradingguild's officers
Nothing else vanishes Edit = Typos ... as usual. <;D -
Nirntrotter✭✭✭✭Can confirm what the others have posted, I have done it myself. The only other thing to mention is that your forum name is separate from your game account name and will NOT change to whatever your new account name is. @Sirona_StarrAugust Palatine Arodel the Explorer, Altmer Whipster | *2014, PC-EU

daim✭✭✭I changed my account name the only issue I had was with Addons. Re-setting up my UI.
and if there's some addons that needs a lot of work to set up you could always edit the stored setting files pretty easily so they would work with the new account name.""I am that which grips the heart in fright, hearkens night and silences the light."
