Character names are unique PER SERVER. So when the game had 30 servers up and running, there could possibly be 30 different people with my character name. That's why they've always had the issue with server merges that you could have your name be taken on the new server, and the character that is on the target of the merge has priority over the character that is moving worlds, forcing a rename on the moving character.

It's pretty easy to verify this with FFXIAH, noting that it asks for both a player name and a server name, not just a player name.

If you want to take items and gil to another server, you have to pay the fee for a World Transfer and move your character holding those resources to the new server.
