[FUN] Create 2+ character with the same name on the same realm

[RedRussian]

Hi everyone! Today my forum toon named Analmary (lvl 2 druid) was banned for 3 hrs and its name was changed by blizz (I wasn't given an option to change it myself but it doesn't matter anyway) It means that name Analmary is now free and I've created a new one (lvl 1 priest). However name of my druid won't actually change untill I enter the game with him so I've got 2 chars with the same name on one realm.

How to:
1)Create a toon with offensive name (one that will be changed after report)
2)Report your toon
3)Wait till blizz rename you. It matters not whether they allow you to choose a new name or not
4)Create a second toon with the old name
5)DO NOT enter world with your 1st character or it will get actually renamed!

I suppose that you can create as many toons as you want using this method (didn't try it however)

Proofpic:


I'm gonna use it for trolling in forums. Just imagine 2 toons with the same name from the same server and the same guild but their classes & levels are different

This is funny but unfortunately any exploit that involves a GM is not allowed to be posted in this section.

But this is pretty cool.

useless since you can´t login with the same name again - i could even delete the chars an recreate them again - not an exploit.

I understand but you don't have to chat with GM or try to fool him. Just consider rename to be a part of game mechanics after you press report button) You won't be seriously banned (for more than 3 hrs) for naming violation if you don't use any racism/terrorism/etc in your name.

Does both characters get the mail if you send to that name :confused:

[RedRussian]

Unfortunatly we'll never discover this since you must not login on the first toon(

Upd: does remote auction allow you to post items from mailbox?

i already tried it guys - the character gets renamed and you need to rename it too.
even if you transfer your char to an another license you have to rename the char and you cannot login into mobile armoy until you have finished the process.
because of this , my rogue is buggy and sometimes the server uses the 85 stats since my rogue has beend 85 when i transferred it.
in armory on battle.net website you can even see both of them.

No, I mean, send mail while character is not renamed, rename and login, perhaps the mail is there still?

Kind of useless, the character A that you don't log into is kind of like a "place holder". It's considered a NULL value in the database, and is more or less a cosmetic occurrence. The real pleasure in this just having two of the same name in the guild in game, I don't think it would show up on armory.
