Welcome!
Most of us reside over on Excelsior and we have a Champion's ex-pat Discord located here: https://discord.gg/nwwjBAB
We're usually active in #general and #lfg-excelsior.
Maybe, oh I don't know, play the game you want to play with settings that already allow for what you want to do, and let everyone else play how they want.
Sound good? Okay, thanks.
Hey Champs; for those that don't know, we have a vet Discord so c'mon down and get re-connected with your fellow players: https://discord.gg/nwwjBAB
The only thing that we request is that you add your old Champion global name to your handle so we know who you were.
Or they could just /friend Athalwolf server-side, then right click on the name in their Friends List and Add Note. It'll give you the global name in the Combat tab.
@Hop Dodger is the person you're looking for on Excelsior. Now you can leave them an offline message asking for the name to be released.
I've found most people in these situations are willing to release the name. All the same, good luck.
/addfriend Soup
Right click on Soup on your server Friends list, Edit Note from the pop-up. Check Combat tab or Global or wherever you have your System set to.
I know there are slightly easier ways, but that's how I used to get that info back on Champion and that's how I'm used to it.
