is the merge going to transfer mails also?

Or since the characters are automatically transferred, which player gets to keep the name, if the name is used on both realms? Who ever logs in first?

I guess it's going to be the same procedure as faction change/name change: When you log in-game you see all your characters with their current names. When you want to login with that character it tells you to change your name. There you either hit enter and you may be able to keep that name or you're asked to change the name. Just a guess though.

My question is, how exactly is the name reserveration process implemented? Is there an "Icecrown realm" to login to or will there be a feature on your account tab on the website? All these "Read here for info" links referring to this thread ain't help much...

It means when the realm merge happens, names will go to whoever transfers their characters first.

As I understand this when the merge happens all chars are transferred to the new realm automatically. So what is meant by "names will go to whoever transfers their characters first"? Do you mean logs their chars and name them first?

So IF the name is unreserved, when Icecrown opens, we 'have to race to 'transfer' toons too?
You just said that toons would be transferred automatically...

Staff... :/

Basically what I want to know that IF the name is unreserved, is it up for grabs from EVERYONE who can make new toons on Icecrown?

P.S. Good question Angelfire.

Of course everyone can take it. just like everyone can take a 'free' name on both of the realms now. If you really WANT a name create a lvl 1 toon with it now and reserve it.

Oh come on, forget these stupid names, no one remembers them anyway, there are enough unique combinations of letters for you to create as many characters as you want

Character name reservations for Deathwing and Ragnaros merge will be available Monday, May 9 at 19:00.

Are we going to be able to creater more than 1 character later today (e.g as you said we can only reserve ONE name for our characters, but it was 'corrected?' later ) so I assume that we will be able to reserve all of our names (that are level 80) on that account or am I missing something?

[deibamamavi]

69 % my names will be stolen xD

[Rzpe]

We still have 9 hours for name reservation?

[Manain]

Its just an opinion, just chill :) i was thinking about lordaeron wipe and how many ppl joined after. U don't have to be offended by my opinion nor being aggressive. Hf

[Djole89]

Merging these two realms is an excellent idea and there couldn't be a better one. Cool name too, maybe not the best for everyone, yet a good one.

After almost 9 years of World of Warcraft, after all I've been through with it, I'm exited once again. Thank you Warmane!

[gromsceam]

i was trying from 1 hour and still

[eladd]

will we be able to make lvl1 toons right after merge to snatch names that weren't reserved or lvl80 from rag/dw have priority??

[vincentwolf]

Question: there are tons of great names reserved without use on many accounts. Are you going to release them at some point after merge?
