Can not rename characters

[Netfiend007]

Ive tried an number of times to rename several characters. Ive checked the name with the character creator and the names are avalable. After chacking Ive even reboot my pc and still no luck. Is the rename function bugged? is anyone else having this issue?

 

Thank you

You might be running into names that exist, but are subject to the Name Release.

You can't rename a char to an existing one that is subject to Name Release, but you can create a new one.

What you can do is, create the char with the name you want.

Go back to char select, rename that char to whatever works, then rename the one you want that name on.   Then delete the temp char.

specifically the name release made names that were held by characters but unused over a period of time (30 days for character levels 1-5, 365 days for levels 6-49, never for level 50s) available for other players to take. but there is an extra step if you want to claim that name for an already created crharacter. namely what lemming explained above... you need to create a new character with that name and then switch it over to the other. 🙂
