Free Namechange
-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

Don't take it too closely but this trick has been well-known since long ago, never mind the guys above trolling you

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

Make a trial account under the same account as the one with the toon you want to change. You won't need a 3month wait because both wow accounts are under the same battle.net account

Repost from elite... Can we close this thread? Like 2-3 of these pop up every week.

Whether this is a repost or not, I'm pretty sure this got patched. I got the message "That name is unavailable". I tried this using 2 accounts, registered on different emails. (dont take me for granted, I might have done something wrong.)

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

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

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.
I'm not complaining about the donator status, before anyone says anything about that.
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...

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.
