Then whats the point of having this in the transfer notes?
Characters with the Same Name
In the event the name of your character has already been chosen by another character on the destination World, you will be required to change your character's name when logging in for the first time.
Although it is possible to confirm the availability of your character's name when submitting your application, multiple applications bearing characters with the same name may necessitate the renaming of your character, depending on the order in which the applications are processed.
* Once service fees are instated for this service, characters transferring from another World will take priority in the event a character on the destination World has the same name but is associated with an inactive service account at the time of transfer.
Read it.
"In the event". meaning "If it happens". Legacy accounts may not apply, so they may have similar names to those on other servers(of course, they can't leave their server)
Also, read the last line "the same name but is associated with an inactive service account". They don't delete inactive accounts right away, but inactive accounts have to be recovered before they can be active again.
Again, I tried to use the same name on multiple servers before, doesn't work, and I highly doubt, anyone would use the same name i have, let alone have all of the same character names i have.
EDIT: forgot to add, there's also the JP severs, which have different data centers, and different name servers.

I did read it, that why I posted it. Your post (you know... the one I quoted), said that a name could only exist once between all servers.Read it.

Quoting again:
False.
The name you're using now, cannot be used anywhere else, meaning it does not exist on other servers. This is to avoid having people with the same name in dungeons(duty finder is cross server), and to avoid making people change their names when they transfer. I know this for a fact, because I tried to do it back during EA, when i wanted to use the same character on multiple servers.
Basically, once you have a name, you're stuck with it until the character is deleted.
