Renaming your char/friend lists

[NoobieTuesday]

If you rename your character:

1) Does your friend list stay intact?
2) Do all my other friends have my new name in their lists as well?

It's kinda pricey. Was just thinking about it..

TIA.

The friends list stays the same, but no one knows that you're the same person. So you would need to tell all your friends who you are, or they might ignore and/or delete you.

Would u have to do that individually or is there a mechanism to do your list in one go?
