SudZ,
Will one retain perkies and squad affiliation if it is a change? Squaddies are asking me questions like mad.
Nope, sorry Rattfink. If you change your game ID (unless it's just the case of the letters in the ID) you'll loose the perks and squad affiliation. In addition, if you are the squad leader squad will be disbanded.
You will have a chance to confirm the change before you commit if you're unsure. The message will tell you what will happen.
Of course, anything that happens in relation to your squad is easily fixed. Just ask for an invite or reform the squad under a new leader. For the perkies you might consider a perk point binge some Saturday to get the most of them before you change ids.
