Character Name Cleanup Script Still Running

Written by Feldon on . Posted in Game Updates & Maintenance

Some characters still have x or xx after their name, despite meeting the qualifications necessary to NOT have those extra characters. Namely having the character with that name, with the longest playtime.

From Rothgar on the EQ2 Forums:

Our rename script was interrupted by the server maintenance last night, so every name conflict has not been resolved yet. We’ve restarted the script and the remaining name conflicts should be resolved in a couple of hours.

UPDATE:  the Character/Guild Name Cleanup Script has completed running. If you still have an issue or wish to dispute the name that was chosen for your guild or character, please open a /petition.

From Rothgar on the EQ2 Forums:

The naming conflicts have now been resolved according to the rules in the FAQ. Just to recap the rules, the person who logged in during the last 60 days got to keep the name. If both players logged in, or didn’t log in, during the last 60 days, we then compare the time played. The player with the most time played got to keep the name. The creation date was not taken into consideration.

Keep in mind that you can’t always confirm the outcome of this through the EQ2 Players website. There is the possibility that the other player had hidden their account and the possibility that the data could have just been incorrect due to character transfers or previous merges.

If you still feel that your name issue wasn’t resolved, you’ll have to petition Customer Service.

Regarding guild names, I’m not aware of any issues with that merge process. If you feel that your guild was improperly renamed, you should also contact Customer Service but I cannot make any guarantees regarding the resolution.
