Profile

*All information on this page is as of v4.0.2*

Your profile, as used here, is your Monarch Detail. Every player in the game has a profile card that is visible to everyone else. There are two ways to get to your profile card:

1. Click on your Avatar in the top-left corner of the screen, and then click on Detail in the bottom-left corner.
2. From the World Map, click on your Keep, then click on Monarch Info, and then click on Detail in the bottom-left corner.

## Profile Card

Your profile card contains some basic information about you, and it's visible to everyone else. It basically tells people who you are (Monarch name) and what alliance you're in (if any). It also shows people your preferred language, Monarch level, Monarch ID, rank, avatar (and by extension, your culture), and power rating. Of all of these items, you can only change three whenever you want:

1. Preferred Language
2. Monarch Name
3. Avatar

You can change alliances almost whenever you want (assuming the one you want to be in will approve your request), and provided you're not in a cooldown period. You can also indirectly change your rank, power rating, and Monarch level by playing and improving various stats.

### Preferred Language

Your preferred language is changed through the Settings > Language menu. Once you've selected a new language, the game will restart, loading it with the new language pack. If you changed your preferred language by accident, you can follow the steps in the image to get back to English (English will be the language in the top-left corner of the list of languages).

### Monarch Name and Monarch ID

New users start off with a generic Monarch name with the format "Monarch#########," which you can change. Many alliances will actually require that you change your Monarch name from the generic format. It's free to change if you have the City Name Change item, which you can get initially from Growth Package (Level 1), which is a package you get shortly after starting a new game. Otherwise, it'll cost you 200 gems every time you successfully change your name. Note when changing your name, you'll receive a message that it will cost you 200 gems (or a City Name Change item) before the game validates the new name; if the name change isn't successful (e.g., you chose a name that's already taken), though, it won't take the 200 gems (or City Name Change item). Your Monarch name must be unique when compared to other players (including other servers). You'll receive the error message "I'm sorry my Liege, but the name already exists" if you choose a name already in use.

In order to change your Monarch name, go to the Monarch Info screen (either click on your Avatar in the top-left corner of the screen, or select the Monarch Info option after clicking on your Keep on the World Map). In the Monarch Info screen, click on the parchment icon next to your name, which will bring up the Rename box. Enter your new name and click on Change. You will receive a message telling you what the cost will be; click on Confirm if you're ok with the cost. Evony's process will verify your new name is acceptable (e.g., unique when compared across servers, within character limits, etc.). If your new name is acceptable, you'll receive a message that your name has been changed, and the Monarch Info screen will now show your new name.

Your Monarch name will be the name displayed basically anywhere you'd see a player's name: chat windows, reports, Friends list, label shown on your Keep on the World Map, etc. Don't confuse your Monarch name with your Monarch ID, though. Your Monarch ID is permanently assigned when you create an account, and it will always be the same. You can either use someone's Monarch ID or Monarch name when searching for them on the Recommend Friends list. The Monarch ID can also be helpful if you have another player trying to mask their identity by making frequent name changes. Note, if a player changes their name, chat messages will be updated to show the new name.

### Avatar

Your avatar is the last thing you can change whenever you want. Similar to changing your Monarch name, it's free to change if you have the Avatar Change item, which you also get initially from Growth Package (Level 1). It's also available in the Alliance Shop for purchase with 10,000 Alliance Points. Otherwise, it is slightly more expensive than changing your Monarch name, costing 400 gems each time you change your avatar. In the Monarch Info screen, click on your avatar to bring up the Avatar screen. Scroll left and right to find the avatar you want, and click on Change.

Your avatar is purely cosmetic, so there's no advantage of having one over another. Each culture has a set of 6 avatars from which to choose. Players familiar with the avatars can tell what culture you've chosen, which in turn can provide some insight as to what your play style may be (each culture has its own set of buffs). See Cultures for more information on the different cultures.
