Move the toon you wish to change to another server, then create a toon with the same name on the original server. Move the first toon back and you'll get a rename token because the name is already taken (by your newly created toon). This method uses up 2 free transfers (of the 6 per week), but it saves you $10. You'll also need at least 1 open character slot, since you'll need to create a new toon to claim the name.

Example:

"Bob the Tunafish" (a Brute on Freedom) hates his name and wishes to change it to "Steve the Shark". Bob's player, Jason, logs into his account, selects Freedom, clicks on Bob, and Buy Server Transfer. He moves Bob to Champion and then creates a new toon (a Dominator) in Bob's old character slot. He names the new toon "Bob the Tunafish". After logging out of the new character, Jason logs back in and selects the Champion server this time. He clicks on "Bob the Tunafish" (the Brute) and Buy Server Transfer again, moving Bob back to Freedom. Because Jason created a character named "Bob the Tunafish" on Freedom, the name is already taken. The Brute version of Bob now gets a free rename token, which Jason can use to change its name to "Steve the Shark". Jason is then free to delete the Dominator version of Bob or keep it around for future use.

Alternately, Jason could first create a toon on Champion named "Bob the Tunafish", so when he moves the Brute from Freedom to Champion he'd get the rename token then instead of when he moves it back to Freedom. This method would save Jason from having to have an open character slot on Freedom (he'd still need one on Champion), but runs the risk of someone taking "Steve the Shark" in the minute or two it takes to move it from Champion back to Freedom.

I actually moved 2 toons to Freedom a few weeks before it became free (Shred Monkey and Chaos Monkey). I'll probably move the other few alts that I like to play now as well. It was a hard decision actually (especially when it wasn't free). But too many nights of not finding a decent team was pushing me away from the game completely. Moving to Freedom has helped that. Now I just need to make some static friends.

Good idea with the name change trick. I hadn't considered that. I think I'll abuse that with a few alts.


I gotta make pain. I gotta make things right. I gotta stop what's comin'. 'Least I gotta try.

(of course there WERE 4 other severs down, but that had nothing to do with it, Freedumb rules!)
