Hi Guys,

Old war player returning here to find my old character name is in use by a level 3 engineer is there any change you can ask the owner of the account if he can release this name to me or if the account is unused can you fine gentlemen reset the engineers name to allow me to use my old name again?

PM me and I can tell you the name.

Cheers,

Don't believe so:
A) this isn't live server, and so everything is new - a la 'first come, first serve';
B) what if the engi dude maintains the same conviction as you, and says he used that name on live also?

Best bet is to PM/mail the dude.

Problem is I sent him a message but if its a toon they never use they will never read the message I have vague memory's of Mythic support doing this after server moves and if they can do it anyone can do it. If they used it in WAR before then that's fine first come first served but if its a inactive account then game on.

Mate, a lot of our live servers nicks got stolen. There's nothing you can do. Make a new one and work for its renome.

Same here. Names are locked Characters that have never been played. There are ppl out there that lock your names up any new games, because they can.

I have asked RoR staff about this kind of thing before and they cannot do it. Sorry but you will just have to go with something else :[
