Paid Transfer/name taken

Yesterday i transfered a character from Draka to Malufurian. When the transfer was completed i forgot that the transferring character has the same name as a one of me current character on that server.

I did the paid name change for that character so i can rename the transferring character.

When prompted with the new name change it says the name is unavailable.

how long does it take for the server to reset the name to have it available after a paid name change?

I apologize if there was any confusion regarding the Paid Character Name Change service, Ninjahunter. As was explained on the Things to Know Before You Start! page at the very beginning of the process, once a name change is completed the characters old name is locked and unavailable for use on that realm for 90 days. As such, the name would not be available for your newly transferred character until after that 90 day period has passed.

hey, i have had the same problem but its to do with me changing realms, i changed realms and it got accepted and all but my guy has disappeared, its been a day now and i dont know what to do


I would ask you make a new thread rather bumping one from July, Sunstider.

But to answer your question, try making a new character on that realm, see if he's there but your list needs to be forced to update.
