After server transfer and forced name change (my original name was taken in the realm) my Forum account did reset. I could not access my “old” character profile here. I lost all the messages I had sent as well as all the likes I have given or received. Amount of messages sent went to 0 and I have had to grow it from the start. It also meant that my Forum rank did reset. Even I had sent the original messages with this very same character, name of those messages posted did not change - they still had my old char name.
From what I have seen, it is what happens on a server transfer or a character rename.
What you can do, is create a level 1 on the original realm with the original name and I believe your forum history and rank would populate against it. It’s worth a try and I know many don’t like posting on a level 1 but I guess it’s an option?
Meh. I would rather keep posting with my main character tbh. I see no reason to keep posting with level 1 character with my original name on it. I use to play on Bloodfeather under name Liue and after transferring to Silvermoon everything was gone.
I mean, I don’t understand why server transfer / faction change / character rename should reset all the hard work you have done in the Forums? It’s after all the same character and I think you should be able to refresh and update your character list somehow?
All forum activity is unfortunately tied to character name and realm … hence Shammoz’s suggestion that the only way to get your history back is making a level 1.
That is quite sad to be honest. I thank you both of your answers, tho I might send a suggestion to Blizzard about this as so many players keep transferring their characters nowadays. Losing everything you have achieved in the Forums does not really bolster the motivation.
