Hello reps!

A friend of mine is in a situation where they want to transfer to my server. They would like to keep their current name as it's their first MMO and have rightfully become attached to it after playing for a few months. The issue at hand is that there is a character already using that name that is level 1, no XP earned at all so it is most likely a mule or someone that messed around with the character creator during the extended free-to-play period this game had. Can the devs give any information regarding who would get priority on the name in ARR?
