ObeeRizzle Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Just wondering if I will be able to change my characters names after my server is ombined with another server? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauska Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 You can only change a character's name if the name is taken on the destination server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaqaliah Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 You can only change a character's name if the name is taken on the destination server. Bioware did some very good things in the setup for this transfer and completely dropped the ball in others. The basic model allowing people transfer at anytime is good. Our gaming clan, with the two guilds (light and dark side), has people deployed overseas in combat. We cannot move them, or our guild, but need to be able to move things dealing with our guild. We refuse to leave our people unsupported, even though we accept that the move is necessary. However, the rules on shutting down guilds and moving their assets to another server appear to be based only on those who have regular 9 to 5 jobs. Another issue with the transfer comes with the forced name changes. We are losing people because of the forced name change. This includes one of our guild leaders, none of whose names would transfer. For people who are only concerned with game mechanics, min-maxing, and hack-n-slash forced name changes mean less or nothing at all. For those who Role Play, write their own personal fiction, or have a more theatre based orientation this is a personal affront and assault. My game clan leader has run under the same name for decades, and that too has been taken away from him. A name search should have been done so that gaming clans could move their guildS to the same server with minimal loss of personnel and game enjoyment. This was done poorly. Bioware should find a way to give back to people the names that mean something to them. Jaqaliah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First in the way of the guild bank, we were able to contact CRS and have them transfer our guild bank without disbanding the original guild (although it took a two or three tickets and a little explaination). 2. Name Changes were only done if the name was already token by another player's toon on that server (only exception is the Legcay Name). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaqaliah Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 2. Name Changes were only done if the name was already token by another player's toon on that server (only exception is the Legcay Name). The point is Bioware should have done a search for each guild, created a query, to ensure the guild could be transferred to a place where there would be the LEAST if not absolutely NO CONFLICT with existing names. I don't care why they are making people change something that is so VITALLY important to the nature of a character. They did not give a frack about their customers when they half-did this job.
