Character transfered with wrong name

Hi all, i used a transfer token on my (let's say) character "Heroname". I never used this tool, so i read the warnings carefully.
It said that, in case "heroname" is already taken, i'd have a rename token to use it, so i was like "okay, let's do this".

My reaction when i saw my character transfered as "Heroname1" wasn't very nice. It's obvious that Heroname was already taken, but...
Can anyone tell me if this is normal? Now i have to spend my money in a rename token?
Thanks in advance.

Anytime you transfer a character and the name is taken you are given a # at the end of your name (in this case a 1) you also are given a free rename.


So .... no dont buy a rename just change it with the free one.

It's normal. If your character's name is taken the game appends a '1' on the end. You should've been provided with a rename token when the name was changed. Try renaming the character and see what happens.

Actually i got no rename tokens, but somehow i could rename my character.
Problem solved. Thanks a lot for the fast answer! ^^

Just in case this part isn't known.. your rename token is in place but you have to log that character in to be able to use/claim it.

What on earth did you think the rename token was for? If it meant that much to you, you should have made a throw-away character on the server to check if the name was available.

Except...that's not what the rename token is for. As previous posters have said, you get a free rename in this case.

Or maybe you could have read what the OP wrote like everybody else? He stated he'd be fine if the name was taken since he'd have a rename token, he just got confused on how to rename the toon. He never said the name meant so much for him, in which case yes the 'checking available names' thing would be a good idea. He just wanted to know how to use the rename he got.

Except that wasn't what he said. He said that he'd read you get a rename token, then asked if he'd have to spend money on a rename... He wasn't really clear...

My game didn't show me any rename token. Learn to read before answering solved problems' threads before saying someone isn't clear enough...

(edit) Nevermind. I'm in an exceptionally testy mood at the moment. Worry over an RL issue. Won't go into detail, not the place for it here.
