Character Name Change

[Anova]

There's a loophole where if you transfer your character to a new server, and there is already a character with the same name, you will be asked to change your name.

The trick is to transfer your character out, create a character with the same name, and transfer your character back in. Since names are unique in the game, you will be asked to change the name of your character to one that is NOT taken. You can change the name anytime you transfer servers, so long as the name you currently have is already taken.

There's a catch though. You will have to wait 1 month between transfers, so your transferred character will be stuck on the new server for at least one month. Additionally, each transfer will cost you $18, for a total of $36. It's a steep price, but if you don't have any attachment to your server or are already planning to transfer, just create a char with the same name and transfer to that. You'll be able to change it, and delete the old name.

Server Transfer services btw, are available on the Mog Station. Please don't forget to create a character with the same name on the server first too. I've known a couple players who tried this and forgot to create a character with the same name, wasting $36.
