Are there any free character name changes or transfers for being a 10 month vet? Or from any patches? I am only curious because my characters name is Dark Hunter. and now that I can change the colors of his powers I forgot I named him dark hunter yea he is dark/dark to hehe never expected them to change the colors of the powers what a trap I am in right now.

Thank you.

Sorry, nope. None of that is available from either vet badges or patches. The best that you may have would be a name change for your global chat name (Menu->Global Handle to change).

There actually is one sneaky option for changing your name, but it requires a server transfer (which you can purchase for $9.99, or sometimes they do short periods of free server transfers). The only caveat is that is requires you to have at least one character slot free before step 1 below (which you can also purchase if necessary, although by this point you need to be pretty desperate to change your name).

1. Transfer Dark Hunter off your home server.
2. Create a new character named Dark Hunter on your home server. (Occasionally there might be a delay in the server recognizing that the name has been freed up, but it should be almost immediate.)
3. Move the original Dark Hunter back to your home server. Because the name Dark Hunter is now taken by the new character you created, the original will be granted a free rename token.
4. Delete the second Dark Hunter (or keep it, whatever).

Hmmm...

I think he asked for a free way of changing the name...

Paying for two server transfers isnt a little more $$ than one name change?

Yes. I can get lost on a straight-line map.

Useful if they're giving out free transfers, but if you have to pay for them, just buy the rename token instead.

One can buy a rename token for $9.99

If it's just a problem with the changed colors for your powers - just change them back? Then they would match the name. That just costs Inf, not real money.

Otherwise, we are hoping for free server transfers, but none have been announced.

D'oh! I forgot about that. But still, if there are free transfers and you have at least 1 open character slot, you can do it for free.

Thank you.
Well, you've not provided a bio for Dark Hunter. May I suggest that instead of being a descriptor for what he is, why not alter it to what he does...

Just an idea.

And welcome back.

Yea i was considering just doing that, and I do not like the look of dark therefor did not want to change it back but thank you for that odd suggestion.

Besides, 'Dark Hunter' is likely a name that would be coveted. It's simple and has a very comic book feel to it.

They may or may not offer free server transfers during the holiday, I don't use it much, but I hope it becomes a holiday standard. If you can wait that long, I'd suggest DarkGob's idea above. Don't forget to go to the tailor and save your costume(s) and powers, it makes for an easier and quicker recreation.
