Delete and/or start over. I causes too much abuse. Another way is to transfer your character to a server where the name already exists. You'll be prompted to change it.

The only way I know how to change one's name is to create a mule with your name you wish to get rid of on another server, unless your name is already taken there, then pay the $25 to transfer there. That's the only basic way to directly change your name.

And you have to wait a month if you want to switch back right?

Cancel your content ID. Buy a new content ID and name it after your old character. Reactivate your old content ID and you will be forced to name change. Cancelling a content ID saves all current data for your character, including Auction house and Delivery box items. You can simply start over where you left off with your new name.

alternately, I have heard SE will force a name change if several people report it as being offensive. I ma not sure if this will work for any name, however.

Shouldn't. A character and a content ID are not the same thing. But. I think you have to wait until post merger regardless.

If you're talking about an addition, then even when turned off or inactive, you're character is still on the server with the name.

I remember physically deleting a character 8 years ago. I wanted a different race with the same name. It told me the name already existed on the server.
These days? No idea.
