Unlock Renaming Service

As long as you do your renaming in the morning there's ZERO issues collecting character data. Just log out in an inn room and voila.

Please reinstate the renaming service. Just put a disclaimer asking players to only rename during times of low congestion. (Early morning CST).

I got the crysta for a fantasia and a name change only to realize after being unable to rename my character for several hours that it was indefinitely suspended. I didn't expect a service to be suspended like that so I just wasted my only Christmas gift.

I like many others don't want to have a Hyur or a Bunny boy with the name M'kana Tia.

Can I at least put in a ticket to have my character renamed and you just take my crysta? The queues during prime time are bad enough. The audio issues, the disconnects, the lobby errors... but now we can't even rename? This is a technical nightmare. The expansion is great but the other aspects of the launch are in tatters.

What low congestion for your time is high congestion on other worlds - see it's not going to balance until all worlds are back to normal.

Be patient

Ridiculous both naming service and transfer service have been disabled for a month now.

Yeah it is pretty ridiculous they you can't even submit the request for name changes. If there is a delay or a queue for them I understand. But just completely disabling the service, for weeks now, is absurd.

Why did you make new thread asking about the same thing

making thread after thread will not solve the situation

Since the name change must be completed before you can log in, and in periods of high congestion you can't access your char data to change it, they would have more issues unblocking it at the moment than it's worth.

I would really like for them to unlock it and let me decide.

My character is now improperly gendered (Male name/Fem Avatar) and while not the end of the world it is annoying and immersion breaking to me.

Warn us: You will need to log on a period of low congestion for your server to assure you can log in.

It's not about you.

It's about the stability of the login queue which is already having trouble.

Your character's name being "immersion breaking" is not that big of a deal in comparison.

It would literally lock you from being able to log in at all. I imagine they'd have a lot more angry people "I spent money on a name change and I can't log in at all!"

Yeah I recognize that is why they don't.

And they are probably right too, doesn't change how I personally feel, but I do understand what is going on.

Right now, even if the service was up, during peak time there would never be a chance to log in because it wouldn't pull enough from the server to give you that option (Happened with my fantasia as well for awhile).

I would be dedicated enough to just set and alarm for 1AM log name change and then go back to bed.

I'll keep complaining about it until it's unlocked to be honest with you. If people are too stupid to know they have to log out in an inn room and do the name change during periods of low congestion then that's on them. Put a DISCLAIMER saying that rather than disabling the service altogether.

Or better yet, change how renaming your character works. WoW has you write in the new name on the website and when you log back in: Voila. Your name is changed.

Do that here.

You know nothing about software engineering.

If that was something their architecture allowed without massively tearing the game apart and putting it back together, they'd already have it.

Keep your complaining to one thread, please and thanks. :rolleyes:
