Rest and restart are diferent. Just wait a week
Wait for another reset. There is usually one performed every Friday.Yavien wrote: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!
Inactive accounts/characters names becomes up for grabs after a few months now-a-day.Vagabonde wrote: Thu Sep 02, 2021 3:44 pm 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
After exactly a year and that date varies for each of your characters based on the character's specific creation date.vianiznice wrote: Thu Sep 02, 2021 4:04 pm Inactive accounts/characters names becomes up for grabs after a few months now-a-day.
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 nameVagabonde wrote: Fri Sep 03, 2021 8:36 am 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 ?
