    Wait, we have to leave our guilds first to name change? Or does it apply to just guild leaders? :^(

    I was able to successfully change my name and will have to wait until the next maint to see it changed.
    everyone will have to be patient since I know people are trying to get their name as soon as possible.

    Will it be possible to check if the name saved correctly before Thursday, or should we do something to ensure that the name change went through?

    I got the cash shop inventory error despite not having anything there. Trying to log into the game to double-check and logging in is impossible. Will anything ever work according to plan? Find out on the next episode of Dragonball Z.

    Once it's been successful and it tells you it was successful you'll have to wait until next maint for it to change into the name you put down.
    that's what it told me when I successfully did mine.

    I read this and just want to be sure which is correct. Not sure I read it right .. opinions? Looking it over again though, I am thinking maybe its outdated info and now it cant be done while married.

    http://mabinogi.nexon.net/News/All/1/00JEp

    Marriage Information:
    During testing, we found details that were not reflected in the Marriage Info after a character's name is changed. If your character's name is changed, the new name will not be reflected on the Marriage Info or Marriage Title. Additionally, due to the nature of the system and the Wedding Ring item, all Wedding Ring items cannot be merged and must be removed. Though the ring will be removed, please be assured that this will not break the character or the character’s marriage status. Should you wish to divorce and re-marry, it may be necessary to perform a ‘Forced Divorce’ option through both spouses first. We sincerely apologize for these inconveniences.

    Known Issue: If a character’s name is over 16 characters, they cannot get engaged. This will be fixed at a later date.

    That was when people were worried that having a server tag added to their name would mess up their marriage (because, this is Nexon, so, yeah, anything can happen).

    Unfortunately, they won't let you change your name AND stay married, unless they "have a reason" to change your name.

    Question, will we get some sort of verification?

    Yeah. If the name is available, it'll say "Given name is available."

    Then the "Check Availability" button will become a "Confirm" button. Hit that, and it'll give you a notification verifying your submission.

    And if you want to re-check, simply re-submit the name. If you did it right the first time, you'll get a "Already applied."

    No, no redos. I have had enough anxiety for one day AND DO NOT WANT TO GO THROUGH WITH IT AGAIN. :|

    I was wondering if there would be another verification other than that, but I guess that would do.

    Have you checked you item shop bag?
    or housing?
    do you have anything in any bag that you can use to sell or buy things?
    if so, simply move them.

    It's a shame people will have to disband their guilds if they have no service nor have anyone else who does. Hopefully this whole name change thing works.

    Disappointed that there is nothing for pets. I've got so many renamed that I can't even summon them by text command because I don't know which is and which isn't.

    You don't need to disband your guild, the guild leader can just pass the leadership to one of their alt characters on their same account. When you buy premium service it's activated for your whole account, not just your main character. You can lead like 3+ guilds on the same account if you wanted to.

    Don't only check the cash shop inventory, but also check the auction board, make sure you retrieve all your purchases and cancel anything you have on sale. Also you have to check the housing channel market's bank lady and if you have any items to retrieve from a previous house ownership you need to get all of those out of that inventory. Normally after owning a house on the housing channel the game puts a check in your "retrieve items" window that pays you back some of the money you spent on bidding on the house in the first place.

    I had the cash shop issue and figured out that it was actually the housing channel inv that was stopping me from getting a name change. Fixed that and my request went through just fine. So make sure you don't have anything like that on your character.

    Also, everyone needs to leave their guilds, families, divorce their spouses, and cancel applications to guilds as well, which you can do through the Mabi website. Click on community -> guilds -> select your character and registered guild from drop down menu at top -> click on Guild Profile -> find ur name and push "Cancel Request"

    Try and see if you have a housing refund check sitting in the housing bank NPC retrieve items inventory. That caused an issue for myself and my husband. After we claimed our checks we were clear to do the name thing.

    I don't think auction board (the most recent market option) would cause disqualification, since names aren't displayed at any point.
