Greetings,

i got the same problem. I deleted a character yesterday and could not reuse the name. As far as i have read in this forum this is usually fixed after a server restart. However, there have been a reset today (if i have seen this right) and i still got the error message about duplicate/invalid name.

Is there any other solution?

Thanks very much!

Wait for another reset. There is usually one performed every Friday.

Thank you very much for your quick replies and clarifications.

I will wait until Friday and try again.

Hello,

I was going to play an old character and when I clicked "Play" I had the following message :
"Your character has a duplicate name. Please rename your character."

I'm a bit surprised, I thought it was not possible to use a name already taken. And when I search I can't find anyone with my old name "Sahti".
I haven't renamed my character yet, because I would like to know if there's a reason to that or if it's a bug ?
Does someone had experienced the same thing ?

Thanks for your help

Inactive accounts/characters names becomes up for grabs after a few months now-a-day.

Inactive accounts/characters names becomes up for grabs after a few months now-a-day.

After exactly a year and that date varies for each of your characters based on the character's specific creation date.

Thank you very much for your answers !

But there's still something that I don't understand :

I searched in "armory" for my old name and nobody has claimed this name.
I tried to rename my character with the old name but it doesn't work.
I also tried to create a new character with the name but it doesn't work either.

Why can't I take again the name whereas it's free ?

The armory hasn't really worked or updated for ages. The name is taken and the character that has is still probably showing up under it's old name
