Free Namechange

[guccisamurai]

You basically just told them how to get around the "fix" thats just as bad as posting the actual exploit from elite yourself defeats the point of an elite section lol

was explaining it to someone who didnt understand it settle down big bertha this has already been posted in here multiple times anyways

-I dont know if this is a repost-

If you want a free Namechange do this:

1. Delete your Character you want to give a new Name
2. Go on a other WoW Account and create a new Character with your deleted Character Name
3. Now go on your Mainaccount and restore your deleted character
4. now you should get a message that say there is another character with your current name.
5. Now you have to rename your Character and buuum you got a free namechange

i did this by myself and it works 100% its only works if you CAN restore a deleted character!
My English is not the best so do not be so hard on me

ENJOY

This has literally been there since the start...
Before you just had to ask for it restored, now you can do it yourself

fewer and fewer things in Elite every week that make checking that forum worthwhile.
I'm not complaining about the donator status, before anyone says anything about that.

Donator status gets into elite now? it didnt a while back.

It has been that way since I registered on this forum.

He only explained steps 1-3 from OP a little better

[Notfincher]

Because stuff from elite gets reposted on reddit then people repost it back here

Wuts the reddit for wow exploits?

OT: You can also have oyur friends mass report you for name.

Elite isnt even worth it since things in there are posted elsewhere so who cares if this is a repost from elite. And this method has been out for a very long time

[guccisamurai]

this been around ever since they introduced character restore

[Hazzbazzy]

But he was able to squeeze a 'Thanks' out of it, that's worth getting it hotfixed even faster, right!!!?!?!?...
I get that people want to help other people out, but there are fewer and fewer things in Elite every week that make checking that forum worthwhile.

It just seems to defeat the purpose of having an 'elite' section.
When you can go on google and look up posts from this forum without even having an account here, it's no wonder things are fixed so quickly when they're posted out in the open.
My 2 cents...

^ It's sad when donators think they've "earned" the privilege of using the elite forum.

I have been doing this for a while i did it for a friends few weeks ago at which time was unable to do it. Keep saying that character already exist.

In order for it to work, the character had to be made on a different account. So when your friend tried to name it that name he would be able to do it. The ''Already existing'' message is only supposed to show up if the character was made on the same account.
BUT sometimes, it does give that error if the helping account is from the same IP. Blizzard tried to circumvent this as much as possible. So if you don't want to take a risk, your best bet is to ask a friend. If you did everything right, they just might've fixed it. I didn't get a chance to try it out myself.

is there a cooldown on character restore ? and do u lose ur ui / keybind presets when u delete a character ?

The cooldown is 30 days and no, when you ''restore'' a character that you previously deleted.. you regain all the keybinds and stuff.

30 days, everything stays the same

its suppose to be under the same account on a diff license example create a trial account and link it to your main. on main account delete character you want to rename, go on trial account make character with the name you just deleted. go back to main account and restore the toon you deleted and bam flagged for name change

ONLY THIS ONE WORKS, ALL OTHERS DO NOT WORK.
Stop posting your bullshit spam or fixed if you have no clue.
