Name Change Error

Hello, I purchased a name change a few hours ago and the chosen name was accepted, then got nervous seeing the name can still be taken when creating a new toon, so I saved it on a level 1 alt and now, red text saying Error - Name Change

Not sure what to do now, anyone encountered this or know what to do? I tried deleting the alt with the chosen name for a minute or two but nothing.

Thanks ^^

Does this answer your question?

  • You cannot cancel a Name Change once you have pressed the confirmation button.
  • You cannot change the name of this character again for the next three days.
  • Other players on your realm will be unable to use your previous name for 90 days.
  • Characters on your World of Warcraft account can use your old character name.

I see, I made a mistake of making an alt with the name chosen to be changed but will the error be removed and the name change work if I delete the lvl 1 alt holding the name?

If they’re both on the same WoW account, yes it should. Though I see some threads on the US side depicting the same scenario of a deleted alt holding the name and then your main attempting to take the name, causing an error.

You may need GM assistance on this one.

Ok thanks, I deleted the alt with the name I wanted and hopefully the error will fix itself

edit: problem solved
