Faction/Server transfer renaming bug

Q u o t e:
So I was doing a faction and server transfer and I ran into what seems to be a relatively common issue where I renamed my character during the faction transfer, but then I was still flagged for a rename from my server transfer. The result being that I can't log in without renaming my character, but I already have the name I want.

This is the character in question by the way. Thanks!

What happens is if you transfer to a realm that has a character with the same name as the incoming character your character will be prompted to enter a new name. This is a flag that remains on the character until the name is changed.

When you initiate the Faction Change you receive the option, as part of the process, to select a new name as well. Unfortunately the flag for a name change from the transfer has not been removed so when you go to log in after you Faction Change has been completed you still get prompted to rename your character.

The best way to avoid this is to make sure you log into the character between each step. This allows the process to be completed before starting a new one.

Sorry for the confusion, Hakks.

I've removed the naming flag from your character so you should be set now. I also closed out the petition you had open to avoid any further confusion. :)
