Really?... Have you tried using your blacklist?...

Nice reading skills you have there.

The sad part is I actually read it like two or three times... Guess that's what happens when you read and reply to stuff when you're super tired I am disappoint in myself.

You could always delete your character, make a new character with the same name and then have SE recover your character which would force you to change your name. May want to use a Fantasia potion at that point as well.

Has this been proven to work? Sounds like a bit of a risk. Not to mention, I don't think anyone should go to these lengths to get rid of someone, though it is a possible solution if it actually works.

Anywho OP, most you can do is hope he eventually gets the idea and finds someone else to bother if the GM does nothing about it. I will admit I'd be super upset if this happened to me.

Does this work? I've heard another way that involves creating a new character with the same name on another server, transferring your old character to that server (resulting in a forced name change), and then transferring the old character back to the original server.

Yeah, it works just like it did in FFXI. The other option would be for the OP to transfer servers, make the same character name on their original server and then transfer back which would also force a name change but it'd also cost $36.

Looking through the thread, I am very appreciative of the helpful suggestions here, so thank you to all contributors. Although my internet fan isn't coming after me for romantic reasons (as far as I know at least), it would appear that the chasing is over, at least for now based on a PSN message I got. Blacklisting and a GM report must have done the trick. It's a real shame that someone who seems to be a friend would turn out so obsessive, but it's done and over with, and hopefully they learn not to be so overbearing to the next person.

This creepy story from FFXI comes to mind.

While similar to my situation, at least I didn't have to go through that nightmare fuel.
