I have bought 1 race change and 1 faction change and neither are working. Both say they are unavailable on my server right now (Pagle). I assume its just because of all the new transfers bugging out the server. If anyone has info let me know. Thanks
I am sure they are locked to prevent name sniping. Character creation also closed because of this. Will probably be this way for a week or 2. I was wondering before this if people were going to steal names from doing a race change, faction change and what not. they actually thought of it
Relax… how could they have known such a large level of traffic was going to happen yesterday…
Im just here to be an apologist.
That other guy probably has a point too.
Locking those services to prevent name sniping is all fine and dandy… however offering discounts for those game services at the same time is where they messed things up. I would like to think that they are still “processing” due to transfer requests heavy traffic and not actually locked. I heard about a guy with the same issue but it unlocked a couple of hours later.
How do you snipe a name with a race or faction change lol. Names are server wide, not per faction.
Seems obviously to be a bug and a huge annoyance to guilds recruiting players from other factions.
You do know all these new realms are locked right? or you just playing dumb? So, if a person is slow to transfer off say Faerlina to the new realm. Someone could go there from Faerlina and race change or faction change which also gives them a free name change. Thus taking a name Blizzard actually tried to reserve for people. amazingly they tried to protect names for people… This has never happened in the past.
Except regular name change works just fine. I know 3 people who transferred and then name changed to get their name on a connected realm. Maybe they turned that off now too, but when my race change wasn’t working people were still name changing just fine.
LMAO, they do all this stuff to guard names and let name changes fly. Go get em boys!
Wont allow me to use Race change on my warrior on Mankrik last night. Transferred him today still showing he can’t use it. But I can use it on my warlock I transfered from bene to grob this morning…I understand the reasoning behind it just should’ve had a disclaimer with it instead of making it more enticing offering discounts.
if they did they didnt think very hard, cos you can still buy a name change and that works fine lol
