Character name flag issue - GM please help!

I submitted a ticket in game about this about 12 hours ago but haven't received any response.

I server transferred from Tanaris to Trollbane and faction changed from Alliance to Horde. Since I already had a toon on Trollbane with that character's name, it got flagged for a rename. However, I went to the character customization screen first and changed my toon to Horde and got her like I like her and all of that, and while I was in that screen I changed her name to the desired name, and saved her like that. That desired name is Raindancer.

When I tried to log in to the game to play, it said my character was flagged for a rename, even though I already renamed her. I know for a fact that the Raindancer name was not taken on Trollbane because I made a level 1 character by that name to reserve it for this character, and right before I used the character re-customization screen I deleted that level 1 toon to free up the name.

As you can see by this post, the toon is complete and is named Raindancer, but like I said is still flagged for a rename from before. I've since learned that this is an issue with faction change & server transfer toons that don't log in between transactions. Can a GM please remove the name flag from Raindancer? I really, really want to log in and play with my friend on this server tonight, and I want to keep the name Raindancer.

Thank you!

Heya Raindancer,

Can you please try to log in, it will prompt you to rename the character again. Let me know if this works, thanks!
