Does anyone know a way to get a free character name change?

[kerridwen]

I've searched the site up and down and I can only find an old one, that multiple people have found out doesn't work anymore, that is deleting your character and creating a new one with the same name, then putting into a GM to get the deleted character restored.

Please help me! I want to keep him on the same server and I want to avoid the $10 name change >< which is rather ridiculous.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

What Gash said.

But srsly, look for it yourself if it's there. We are not your search engine.

What is the name.. out of curiosity..

I know of one way it can be done..

However. the name MUST be something that "Someone" could report you for.

I usd to have a Tauren Warrior named Bigcritties, and although I thought it was a super pimpin name, I found that in the long run I was a better tank than I was DPS, so I wanted a name change...

What I did was get a few people I know to report me .. sounds silly, but they can report it as offensive, and if more than 1 person does this (Not at the same time).. you will get flagged for a name change. Only thing I suggest.. is that you DON'T talk about it in game... use MSN, or Vent. That way there is NO paper trail. (I don't think that it's a big issue. but if your serious about it.. you might just go with the "better safe than sorry approach".)

Now I happily throw my face at raid bosses as "Cownan" .. :P (much more fitting imo.)

Good luck.

im not sure if u can get a name change with out any cost, but i have worked out lik many ppl i am guessin that when u pay for a charater xfer u make a alt on the realm u want ur MAIN to go to, and name it the same as ur MAIN e.g ur main is called mansellboi and u wanna change this name for free, make a alt on the new realm called mansellboi, therefore when u xfer ur MAIN over to the new realm ur alt has the same name as ur MAIN therefore ur MAIN gets a free name change , this works very well with accounts that have being scammed or wat not + rep if this help thanks, im trying to get out of leacher lol.

1. He asked for a free name change.
2. Don't ask for rep.
3. This method costs more than just $10/15, so super fail.

how to get a free character rename:


1) delete your character you want to rename

2) wait and have someone (eg a friend) create a name of the deleted character asap on his account

3) have your character restored by a gm and since your old name i occupied by another character you may choose another one on your next login

- deleted -

[Wonderkind]

Create a new character.
The name of the new character should contain a "þ" (right ALT+T or ALT+0254 OR copy this).

For example: aþocalypse

Log in, you will get a popup saying you need to change the characters name, because the "þ" is not allowed.

Simply type something else that contains a þ :P þill for example, and it will be accepted.

Every week after server updates, your character will be flagged for namechange, so every week = free namechange.

Used to work but doesn't anymore. I've tried this method about 5 times since the name change thing and they will just restore your character and rename the lvl 1.

Can still be done, However .. you have to level the toon to level 10 or 12 I believe.

UPDATE! þ No longer works. Just found out when I tried to rename my character today from "þ(X)" to "þ(Y)"

(X) (Y) = Variables

This probably hasn't worked for some time, just figured I'd letcha know.
