How to KEEP your name

[Sramota]

So you got a name, played a looong time and some twat reported it and now Blizzard's going to force you to change?

Well, no problem!
This one takes some time, but it's worth it!

Keeping your "Meatlips" female orc hunter is worth it

So, how?

First, make sure you have to change,
it's represented by the little pop-up window
"You need to change name"
Just cancel and log into another character
Now don't touch your character...

After some time Blizzard auto-changes your name,
not sure why, but they do.

When you log in and see your auto-changed name,
just log into the char and you'll still get the
"You need to change name" window, at which point you can just type in your original name.

You MIGHT have to let your account go Frozen, I'm not sure there yet.
I did before it worked.
This DOES work as I did it yesterday.
Questionable forumspamming names ftw

You might want to mak an alt to keep your name safe until you can change it btw..

Nice! +rep

[Marlo]

so lemme get this straight, You got to not log on your main for HOW long?

[gankie]

lol, it's a bit asking for trouble, once blizzards spots that you always change name.....

[Alkhara Majere]

Not a terrible idea at all, if you dont mind not logging into your charater for about a month (or whenever your sub runs out).

[rudez]

this is very clever lol, and same as marlos quesiton how long do u have 2 not log onto your character?

[Sramota]

As far as i'm aware they just auto-change it themselves at some point.
Don' ask me on exact time, but it's probably not too long as blizzard are quite shy when it comes to having work ongoing.

Actually, if you want to know, just make an alt named "Siliconehumper" or such and have someone report you, then just wait and you'll get an estimate.
However I imagine it's random and GM controlled.

nice lol goooood

[Sramota]

I'd like to point out one more time that this DOES work currently as I only wrote this for the reason that I actually did it.

And pleas give me +rep... it makes me happy in my pants!

[Glynbeard]

[Epeck]

nice but if i remeber right don't ask for rep or youll get banned or somethin like that but its good

[Sramota]

SO,
I'm writing in this again as I'm on my SCOND namechange on the same character,
I'll keep you posted on how long it takes for it to be solved for me
NOW is the first hour,
I'll get back tomorrow.
