You can change your name under player profile. This is done by creating a new profile with a new name.

As for things you should know:

Don't trust anyone you don't know IRL.

Don't shoot unless you have to.

Get whatever you need out of the big cities then leave ASAP.

Stary Sobor and the NW airfield might sound like a good idea for loot, but they are deathtraps, be prepared to lose your gear in those places.

Green mountain is also a deathtrap...so many zeds.

Berezhino is usually a quiet place to loot necessities.

Don't run along roads or out in the open if you can help it (play like you are always in a snipers scope).

Play like anything and everything you do in the game will kill you e.g: Two people walking through a door is a bad idea. Vaulting over a wire fence is a bad idea. Crawling over a rock is a bad idea. Running and crawling down or up stairs is a bad idea.

That's all I have for now. You will pick it up as you go along though but there's just some things to start you off with. Deadly serious about the last one, play like you are made of glass, if it seems like it's a bad idea it probably is and the game will bug out and kill you because of it.

I'll keep all of this in mind. Especially (Play like you're always in a snipers scope) :) Thankyou for taking your time to share some basics with me :D.

Make a team with preferrably friends from real life.

Avoid big cities untill you have a weapon.

Don't trust anyone other then those in your group.

Avoid the NW Airfield and conserve absolutely everything.
