Character name change??? (Is it possible?)

[Slatervonjager]

Then whats the point of having this in the transfer notes?

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.

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.
