When I talk in my guild chat, it is displaying my old name and realm (which should be impossible since I can’t be in a guild on a different realm xD)
It’s also not displaying me as online at all in the guild. I would really like this fixed asap as my old name gives me a lot of anxiety, hence why I changed it.
Edit: It was mentioned down below in a blue post on the US forums that it may get fixed with the weekly reset; it did not. The problem is still present. We really need a fix for this, please!

Yes … we’ve noticed that too. There’s a whole bunch of people who are in the guild who previously transferred from a different realm. The guild itself, and many of the members, transferred from Lightbringer back in April time, but we also have members who have come from other realms.
I logged in this morning, and didn’t have this problem (having all addons disabled). I’ve logged in this afternoon (again, all addons disabled) and didn’t have the problem. However, I’ve been playing with the new HUD and switched characters a couple of times … when I came back to my main (nothing changed in the meantime), suddenly it showed Poisonenvy-Lightbringer (I’m on Tarren Mill, NOT connected).
Okay … I’m assuming as a knockon from this … but … I’m showing as offline on our guild roster. I cannot edit public notes on our guild roster. I cannot see officer notes. I cannot access the old guild roster. Basically yet again, guild leader is going to say something rude soon!!!
Same here. Multiple Characters are showing old names and Realms in Guild Chat and not showing up as online in guild. I have told them on Discord.

I mean, if they could also fix the “feature” where, if you try to sort the guild roster, as soon as any change happens (someone logs in or out), the roster re-sorts itself (I mean a full alphabetical list is a full alphabetical list … it shouldn’t change just because someone logged in or out), that would be great.
Yup - I can confirm this is happening for me too. Even worse, a relog showed me as from a realm I transferred from ages before my last transfer.
But people think I’m not online. Sadge.
When you say you’ve told them … who?
My guild mates. I have submitted a bug report.
Ah right. I thought you meant your were on the community council and you’d told Blizzard 
Also very bugged… very old name and old servers show up randomly… I mean…
I’m also having this issue. Shows as 3 servers ago to some, and last server to others, something is definitely not right with this!
We are also having this issue. Not with server transfers but with faction changes. Those characters are listed at the bottom of the list, are always online and get listed as humans, dwarfs, etc, which should not be possible as we are a horde guild.
Same problem with one char. Old name, old realm, don’t show up on quild roster. Name and realm change have been done very long time ago. I have couple of other chars which had name and realm change and they are fine.
Sam issue here as well only happens on my main as well pain in the …
Also having the same problem. The guild transferred server last year. Means I can’t do certain guild master/officer functions like recruitment, promote/demote etc etc.
Same issue here. I’ve tried deleting the account file in the wtf folder but it did nothing. Like others have pointed out this seems to be hitting people atbrandom that’s used a paid char service. I’ve got friends that moved from the same server, to the same server and guild as me and some have this issue and some don’t??
Anyone found any fixes for it?
Same here, old nickname and old realm in guild chat. Can’t manage my guild because of this.
Still having this issue and there doesn’t seem to be any acknowledgement from Blizzard about it.
When I log I show up with a random, old realm name that I used to be on, and not my current realm. People in the guild can’t see I’m online and they can’t invite me (at least, that’s what they say…).
It’s a very annoying and difficult bug and it would be nice to at least see some acknowledgement.
was hoping id get home from work to see it fixed, but nope. like the above comment said, it would be nice to see some acknowledgement here. It started off as a random little bug, but its becoming very annoying very fast.
I have the same problem. Yesterday it was my priest and warlock and my paladin was fine, today the pala is showing the wrong realm as well. It’s more irritating than a problem at the moment. All three toons have been alliance on shadowsong since mid BfA, but the tagging on the shows ChamberofAspects where they were previously as horde.
