Hi,
my character "Curter" got flagged for name change (After having that name since 2015).
I usually don't mind those, but in that case I can't find any reason this name should be flagged - I literally got it from the built in name generator on the original WOTLK client.
Any idea why would I get flagged for name change with that name?
When was the last time you used it?
Considering the timing, it likely would have been the yearly clean-up.
Isn't the cleanup in 2 days? I'm pretty sure I logged it up in the last few months, but wanted to make sure and found out I'm flagged.
Also, it didn't give me the "C_<Number>" name it gives to name wiped characters, it still shows me with the name "Curter" - and just triggers the flagged for rename prompt when I try to log in.
Also I want to add that:
1. Im still showing in the armory as Curter
2. It doesn't let me to rename back to that name - saying that name is unavailable.
Ah got the day of the clean up mixed up, you're right.
Only two possibilities I know of then, it's an offensive slang in some language and got reported for that or it's part of an updated retail list of blocked/reserved names.
Any way to find that list?
I was told it might have been duo to mass reports and I want to make sure it really is an issue with that name before I give up on the character name I had since 2015.
according to GPT it is not a known slang in any major language, which doesn't rule that option entirely but do lower the chances that was the reason. Also not a trademarked name by any big company.
Also, can't find any NPC with that name on wowhead retail.
You'd have to contact a GM with a ticket for any further clarification, but no, mass reporting has nothing to do with a name being removed. GMs would still check for the validity of any report.
Thanks, opened a ticket on an alt.
GM answered the ticket:
Is this in other words "I have no idea"?Quote:

Just to clarify, in the ticket I didn't ask them to remove the rename flag, I just asked why it was flagged and added the information from my previous reply.
