View Full Version : Name Change If Your Transferred Character Is a -1?

Just checking, since HCL is a new server every time, people chose names that on that server that would have been used up on the main servers in Feb 2006, like Aragorn, Ungoliant, Steve, I, Me, etc.

So a lot of people transferring will have their names with the -1 or other flag at the end (I don't know what happens when -1 is also already taken on the target server, I've never seen a -2 that I can recall).

So, there doesn't happen to be a free name change for people with the -1 or similar flag, is there?

I'm not complaining if there isn't, just want to know if there is or isn't because if there is, it isn't obvious like a name change certificate in inventory, and if there is, I'd want to do it, but probably won't bother if it is 10 bucks from the store. Please advise, thanks!

/changename new name choice

But it's free then, if your name was changed involuntarily because of transfer? When I looked it up all I could find was that name changes required a certificate in your inventory for the command to work. I guess I could just try it and see what happens. Thanks!

I got a "-2", on a sorcerer uncreatively named "Zap".

Did this work for you? might just try anyways once serbers are back.

I hadn't tried it yet because I suddenly realized I couldn't think of a name I'd rather change it to. Lack of proper prior planning on my part.

The name change works fine. It just may take you a while to come up with something original. It doesn't help in that it only says "error" rather than "that name is already taken" IIRC.

Just now confirmed that "/changename" works fine. Thx - had not seen that service was free for "-1" characters.
