Server transfer + Faction change, naming bug

I recently completed a server transfer followed by a faction change. Upon completion of both processes, I switched to the realm and utilized the in-game faction change for the character. During this process, I also switched the character's name to the name I desired, assuming this would work as expected. However, upon completion of the faction change and after attempting to log into the game I was informed that my character was flagged for renaming (presumably leftover from the server transfer). Obviously, since I had already named my character the desired name, it won't let me choose this name again.

This post serves two purposes: to inform you of this bug, and to request that the flag for renaming be removed from my character so I may have my desired name (which I've already selected). The character in question is currently named Lunor, on the realm Stormrage.

TL;DR - Renaming using a faction change is not removing the flag for a character to be renamed that results from a server transfer, potentially forcing people into names they do not want.

Thanks!

Q u o t e:
Is bumping necessary to get a response?


No, but this isn't an alternate petitioning system, Auctioneer. We try to get to what threads we can but we are uanble to get to all of them and given the current volume of posts that we are receiving threads are falling off the page fairly fast. If yours does you may bump your thread but it is wise to submit an in-game petition as well, like you did. :)

You should be set now, the flag has been removed.
