117556-how-to-change-your-in-game-name-for-free

== Content ==
			
Maybe some people picked a name in a hurry at the Megaserver thingy, or are just unhappy with thier name, here's a way to fix things. This can only be dont until free realm transfers are over.
 
 
 
Example: character is called Bob Peterson on Luminai.
 
Solution: Transfer this character to Jabbit. Then make a new lvl 1 on Luminai called Bob Peterson. Transfer the original one back to Luminai and it will prompt to rename.
 
 
 
Ps, im not trying to teach scams, i dont think there is anything wrong with this and it can be usefull for some players.

Please keep in mind that transfers do still have the 7 day wait policy before you can move again. Customer service was helping players out who had accidentally chosen the wrong name after the megaservers with a name change, and that may be a better solution than potentially being stuck on a server you don't want to be on.

			A bit off topic but I thought only one character could use a specific name and no one else, across all the servers, could pick the same one. Does this mean that a character on one server can be named the same thing as someone on another server?

			So if I try and send my male Aurin to Luminai, and someone there is playing with the same name, I'll be forced to rename him? Does the game at least let you know beforehand that you need to rename your character if you try and transfer it? I really don't want to be forced to rename him as I woke up stupidly early to get the name I used. Same with my Chua's name.

			Hey Greedy Chibi, the game won't tell you beforehand if there is a naming conflict. What you may want to do is to try to create a character there first with the name you want just to ensure it's available. Then just delete it and move over :)

One last question. If I accidentally forget to delete one of the fodder characters and move my original character to the same server, will I be able to rename the fodder one instead, or am I forced to rename the original one?

The way it should work is that the game will notice a naming conflict and ask you to rename your original character upon first login. But before doing so, you will still be able to delete your fodder and... rename your character using the fodder's name :)

Hi, so, umm...Is there a name change token or something yet?Preferably purchasable with Omnibits?Also, umm, I chose this as my forum name,
but this is my real name, and it says I have to wait 10 years before I can change it again...Umm...Yeah, forum name change, is it possible any other way?Edit: also, why can't I add an image to my profile?Edit: huh? I got it to work. I couldn't do it in my settings, but changing it directly from my profile page worked.Also, I guess I can live with using my real name as my forum name...whatevs.

a name change can be purchased with omni bits from the store.  as to your forum handle, try contacting cs.  i have heard of this with other people as well.  ten years is quite some time.
