Your case is good warning for others.
Be careful, we never know exactly what will happen tomorrow.

And I honestly hope something can be done for you.

Unless toon names are connected with too many field relations in the database.
In that case the change can be very difficult and may generate some malfunctions.

PM/mail Agatio about it, he's the only one that could do anything about it I believe.

On another server, they added a boutique item you can purchase to send in to one of the main GMs (but I guess that would only be Aga here at Epic) to change your name. But you had to ask them if the name you want is actually even available first, of course. And also once the name was changed, your friend's list was wiped and you'd be out of whatever guild you were in. Completely worth it, though.

Then you have two options:

Stick with the name and give it importance.

Or:
Make another toon with desired name, ask someone
to help you lvling, then trade stuff from one to another.

You will have to do Culti and get Skill Books from scratch,
but no need to make Dragon and whatever you have again.

Also, ask Aga if he can "move" lvl and stats from one to another,
and then delete old one.

Yes the name change does have to many bugs... it comes down to if your marry n dont divorce ur chara can end up being deleted, your faction will be glitched.. n u can pm from 2 different names... i mean yeah it would be fun but in the long run it could cause some big problems for the server. the best thing i could say is lvl up another one and just move ur stuff over

Its actually fairly easy to create a new account, put a the name you want on it , and the Admin to copy the toon over and rename the old... the ID's would only show up backwards lol. But its fairly easy to be done. Ive done it before a few times XD

Bugs and database maintenance problems are not with toon itself,
but with connections that the toon makes around.

What I recommend to be copied is only stats, skills and gear,
but new toon will have to marry again, join the faction again,
make friends list again, and things like that.

Maybe even to redo Culti and Morai, and other quests if did them.
Culti probably before skill copy.

Yes, with some better database editor all can be done, but imagine the
size of the d-base and time to check all relations and indexes in there.

Well I know two people already who have changed names. The only problem I actually know is that your name will show up as old name until that player meets you, anywhere in any chat, Guild list, etc. And every time that player logs, you need to meet him all over again to see new name.
