The most surefire way to get your name changed is this -

"I have been playing this game for awhile now and have been negatively impacted by my name choice. Due to its origins and reputation, I have been discriminated against in trying to join guilds and run groups. I ask that you allow me too change my name to something more mature than the players of this game judge my current name to be."

They always give it to you.

nah.. i tried something along the lines of that renaming my main... doesnt work, GM told me to report anyone who discriminates me, or gives me a hard time about my name.. then again, it was after getting my name changed with 2 n's on the end too

Need to try that once, would be nice ^^

[JoetheDruid]

Wrong, person who originally had name gets the old name

[R4mbo | Mr. R]

Didn't work with me, they changed the lvl 1's name. I think you need a bit luck or must level the lvl1 char a bit.

well there is a new way

1) delete your player you want to change the name of

2) make a trial account

3) Make the lvl 1 with the old players name on a diferent computer (they check IP's)

4) wait a day

5) Page a GM on your main accounts and computers alt.

6) GM has no proof that you did a name change scam

blizzard...checking IP's...sounds a little obsessive don't ya think? It's too easy to just add an IP hider or even delete the WTF files leaving no proof you logged on at that IP (unless it saves it in from the start or something) There's a debate at the moment actually and quite alot of ppl believe blizz doesn't and never will check IP's. This would work on the same computer I can almost guarantee it.

[PwnzorPony]

[sohnemann]

Tried this on my 26 mage "Thoramon".

Thoramom sounds fukken ridiculous, god damnit!

[Noloony]

2 bad the ip blizz cheks fo aint related to a computer but to your provider and your accound at the provider so you need another computer at somone elses place

[Midnight_killa]

this still works =) I deleted my character and told my friend to make a alliance(im horde) with the same name and then i contacted a GM and then a GM said he can recover my char but I have to change my name =)

[akamaz]

@Noloony,

Why would they know "your acount at the provider"? You didn't tell them that information. All you have to do to mask your IP adress is through using a proxy program such as TOR. It does this through connecting through a series of host computers (many of them) which then pass the data through to Blizzard's servers. Like Chinese whispers, but without the retards.

[DaveRave]

it seems to be different from gm to gm : /
some let you only add or change one letter and others let you change your complete name ... thats stupid

fine then, I guarantee it 100%
A good example is they try putting a cap on trial accounts by only a limit of trial accounts per email address so all u do is change it and you can keep making them.

[Darknightta]

i dont know.. would if u do that with a lvl 70 then he has bunches of gold then u forgot to mail it to ur alt...
