Names of Merged Characters "Second Chance"

[GlobalVariable]

I wnat my old name back, I know its not in use, but I didn't lose it from a server move I started over years ago my old character was not recoverable according to whoever does that. I'm screwed unless some kind of 1 time or 1 in 90 day name change feature happens or I double-server move to do it ;.;

I feel your pain, a buddy of mine had to quit for awhile (stupid army commitments, ever heard of laptops and WiFi?!) and lost his character. When he came back the character reactivation service wouldn't reactivate him, so he had to start over from scratch. Then they redeployed him, he lost again, etc. After the 3rd repitition of this he just never botherred to come back.

Seriously, would you want to redo CoP 3 times under the original system? Not me buddy...

I had to rename 4 mules when we went to Ragnarok, haven't seen even one of those names ever logged in. But I did change Beefy to Lubefirstplease and I will NOT surrender that without a fight!

Because people don't server move and use a mule to force a rename at all right?

Was replying about the 5$ namechange actually.

There's already ways to do this, more costly but it's already available. If someone really wanted to steal stuff and vanish without a trace they already can.
Besides, we need to get away from the "don't add convenient features because someone might abuse it kinda thing, if you don't believe me... take a look at FFXIV.

It still doesn't excuse the haste and lack of forthought on the individuals int he first place.

Then they should be required to have a temporary title for 2 weeks as Also Known as PriorName A.

Regardless, this option should be available to the people in the prior server merge as well. It's stupid to only offer it to half the game population because the policy wasn't created at the time it was relevant to the other half... I certainly hope they allow those people the option as well soon.
