So it’s been quite some time since the merge.....

Suggestion to allow name changes for non merged accounts / the release of names that were locked due to the merge.

I really want to remake my character under a different race and if I delete it and try and create a new character with my name, I know it’s going to say it’s “unavailable”

So I’m just requesting to relook at that “window” that was discussed, where it said that after the merge there would be an amount of time for those affected to get their names changed.

The summer is almost over and this took place before it started, can we at least get a date of when this window of time is over? I’m not entirely sure of the rate of new players in Mabi but I can only assume that number of new mabinogi players in Nao are going to be significantly smaller due to people not being able to make a character if the name was <i> ever</i> taken across three different servers because they’ve been locked away since the merge itself.

Again I don’t think I would have made this post one month ago or even two, but it’s the beginning of August and there’s been little to no information in regards to new players/ones not affected by the merge/people possibly switching from Alexina. If i at least had a date that was more specific than “a grace period” I also wouldn’t be posting this, so if anyone has any information I do not, please post it, it would be super appreciated.

*edit* I was told to post this here by a GM in a support ticket as a resolution

    You could make the different race character for now, then rename it later.

    You might also need to include you character name and server of residence.

    That's a solid idea. Still a little miffed though.

    I want to eventually change the name of my human character, but by the time we get name changes for everyone, I'm sure every name imaginable will be taken...
