So, I had a race change that I bought a while back, decided to change my Monks’ name to something different.
I had for some while had XXXX-medaddy names… decided I wanted something less, weird… So I wanted a joke name that touched on Monks’ roll ability.
Decided on Willrolloff. Which I then changed it to during the race change.
I even logged in to my character with this name to set up my addons and the like, WTF folder autogenerated and everything.
Noticed it was 11 instead of 12 characters, so I could add an I infront of that name. Thought what the hell, name change is cheap enough and this is gonna be my main for the season.
Bought name change, enteres “Iwillrolloff” and press confirmed… But lo and behold, my name was reverted back to Rollmedaddy, which is the name it had BEFORE THE RACE CAHNGE!
I thought this was extremely weird, so made a ticket to get it resolved, only to get responded with auto generated garbage about “We can see on our side that the service indeed did get resolved correctly and you name got changed to Rollmedaddy with the name change”
Yea, no sh**… But that’s obviously a client to server issue… Just like tmog being different sometimes after a relog. They even admitted later in the responses, and I quote
“This kind of issue can sometimes be caused by local client or cache glitches, as you suspected, and we recommend clearing your cache or restarting your client before attempting future name changes to avoid such problems.”
This can’t possibly be how they want to run a service? having to fiddle with game files just to use paid services that can f up on their side if I don’t? That’s crazy
