Sever xfer/faction change name issues

#0 - Aug. 23, 2010, 8:28 p.m.

i recently changed servers and factions with my main, and after changing to the name of the char throught the faction transfer service (and it accepted the name), each time i try and log onto that char it says its flagged for a name change and im prompted to change the name, but i alrdy changed the name to what i wanted and it says that name is unavailable (presumably because that char is alrdy useing it). i want to keep this name, is there a way i can without just entering a random name and then paying for a name change to get what i want?

NOTE: when i did the server transfer, before the faction, the char was flagged for a name change because the name it had was taken on the server. i didnt bother changeing it since i figured i would just change it with the faction transfer.

Try this now Acbar.

This is indeed a side-effect of multiple transactions if the character isn't logged into, inbetween steps.

Uh same thing just happened to me.... I just transfered my undead warlock and faction changed him to kelthuzad

Try this now Lil - this was indeed the issue.

Something you may wish to keep in mind if you ever have need of multiple transactions. Do one, log into the character, then request the next - that can usually avoid this issue entirely.

Do let us know if you have any further issues logging into that character.
