My IGN Community
What is My IGN?
My IGN is a social community for people that play games. A place to brag about your epic raid last night or to ask your friends where to find that last star. This is not a place where you have to listen to your annoying friend tell you her horoscope again or where your mom spies on what you're doing. Wanna geek out? Go right ahead.
top ⇑What features are part of My IGN?
My IGN will be adding new features all the time, but here's what we've got for you today:
- Profile: Build a profile to show off what kind of gamer you really are. Display your game collection, your wishlist, your game IDs (like your XBL Gamertag), and more! See which gamers are like you by comparing your Match Maker score. The higher the number, the more games you have in common!
- Newsfeed: Follow your favorite games and people (including IGN editors) to get all their updates delivered to you in real-time.
- Points and Levels: Earn points by doing valuable things in the community like updating your status, commenting on articles, and filling out your profile. Earning points helps you level up and get the respect you deserve!
How do I create a custom newsfeed?
Easy! Just follow at least one game or person on IGN. How do you do that? See below.
top ⇑How do I follow games or people?
Just click the 
button! You'll find them all over the site including on game pages
(like this one for
Mass Effect 3), on many profiles you find across the site
(like this one for
Naomi Kyle) and on discovery or search results.
How can I manage the people interaction?
Go to the account settings page. At the bottom of this page you will see different settings sections where you can check who is blocked, allow to interact with followers, adjust your privacy settings and notifications you may like to receive for these interactions.
top ⇑How do I edit my profile?
Go to the account settings page. At the top of this page you will see all the different options to customize your profile, like the avatar you use, your location, your birthday and more.
top ⇑How do I change my avatar?
Go to the account settings page. At the top of this page you will see the update avatar option. We've made choosing an avatar easier than ever. When you click "Choose File", you'll be able to select from one of our pre-loaded avatars or upload your own. Just please don't upload anything profane or pornographic. We really hate banning users but will do it if we have to.
top ⇑What are points?
Ding! Points are a way to earn status in the IGN community. Who knows... someday they may even unlock new features or prizes. Points can be earned by doing just about anything of value around IGN, like updating your status, commenting on an article, or uploading your avatar. When you earn enough points, you'll level up and others will see your progress. However, don't even think about spamming your way to the top. We limit how many points you can receive every day for doing certain things, so you'll have to keep busy to earn your way to the top. Good luck!
top ⇑What is the Match Maker?
The Match Maker is a way to see how much you have in common with another gamer. It probably won't help you find your soul mate, but it will help you find a great competitor for tonight's Halo tournament. The score is very simple. It is just the percent overlap between your game collections.
top ⇑How do I write a blog?
Easy! Just click on the blogs tab in My IGN. If it's your first time visiting the blogs, you should see a link to "start my blog". Just click that and select "write a new post". Just write your blog, embed the images and videos (IGN, YouTube or Vimeo) you like, tag the blog, and click "publish". Your new blog post will not only show up under the blog tab of your profile, but it will appear on your wall and the newsfeeds of everyone that is following you. How's that for instant popularity! You might also discover that blogging is a great way to earn points. ;)
top ⇑How can I delete an offensive wallpost?
Go your profile page, and hover over the wallpost you want to delete. In the right hand corner an 'x' should appear that you can click to delete the wallpost.
top ⇑How do I give feedback?
Just click the "Feedback" button on the right hand side of your browser and submit an "Idea." We're constantly checking the feedback and finding ways to bring the most requested ideas to life.
