Good evening,

As many of you already know, the World transfer service was closed when Endwalker was released, and due to the congestion issues, it hasn't reopened since. To be fair, it makes sense, the process probably takes server-side resources, and even if it's fast, it's probably not an easy task.

However, I was a bit surprised to see that the character renaming service was also impacted/closed. A notice was published during the release as well, but no details have been given since.

I always thought it was a bit strange to not have a usable item to be able to change our characters name. Considering Fantasia are still purchasable/usable, is there a technical reason why renaming characters would be an issue?

I understand the whole license system and the fact you need to wait until it's applied -- I'm just really curious about why it's the case with names, but not with character race/data itself being changed.
