How did Guild Wars treat you today? Daily Game Discussion

  • Just want to say real quick, I got a DM from somebody that I do not know telling me that someone may be faking my name now. Not 100% sure if this is accurate or not, as I said I didn't know the person that told me but I'd rather be safe than sorry and say:


    I do not own the character Greg.

  • Now how do you transfer that to a char you want it on? Without getting snaked for it?

    Delete the name. Wait exactly 24 hours, to the minute. Create on new account. There is a 24 hour hold on any name created.

    If you want to transfer it from one account to another. Otherwise, just delete the “test” character and create a new one on the same account. You have 24 hours, during which time no other player can steal your reserved name. This option is stackable*

  • Has anyone else's characters disappeared and they can't create any new ones?

    Ive heard rumors or this due to a suspension because of a inappropriate character name. But there is still no clarity if that is the case or it is due to a glitch. Did you make any inappropriate names?

    I hope i'm ok with a couple characters with ass in their name twice... but "Assassin" should be ok. I hope. xD

  • Made this one :

    Names are reserved for 1h only, i had Macron but i lost it when i wanted to redo it :(

    In effect, the 24-hour reserve has been reduced..

    still buged for me, no characters, all slots avaliables but when u try to name and create: 'You have tried to create many characters in a row, please try again later. Code 041'
    ill send ticket if still buged at night, I doubt they'll ban me for 'Jesucristo' 'Slytherin' ''Rasputin''''Peeves'' ;(

    No ->

    To clarify the matter and be able to help someone who is still in the same situation:

    i got a suspension for my character Jesucristo (Jesuschrist xD) The GM told me I'll change my name the next time I log in, but since I can't, I've already reported the problem so it can be resolved as quickly as possible.

  • I think i secured the most boomer 19 character 'one word name' possible...

    "Inagaddadavidahoney"

    Sure it's the song name plus the last word of the first line smooshed together, but the song itself does kinda run together 😆

  • Well, to my surprise, and despite GM Pyriel writing to me that I could change my name the next time I logged in, the most excellent, unparalleled, and exceptional GM VORPAL PHANTASM has decided to permanently close my account, without explanation, without giving me any option.

    I'm not currently at home; I'm recovering from an amputation I had while working. But I'll go home this week and get my Guild Wars cards. I'll shove them in your face if I have to, PHANTOM

    thats the new reforged staff, The last time I had to resolve account issues, it was a pleasure talking to the team; they helped me with everything. But I see that the new management seems to be taking a different approach.
    I've read the naming rules in both English and Spanish, and "Jesucristo" doesn't violate any naming rules, so they don't care.okay
    I'm going to be patient. I'm going to use every means I can to get my account reactivated. If they don't respond to me privately this week, I plan to spam Legacy and every forum I can with private messages from this NEW, GREAT, AND DIPLOMATIC STAFF.
    I hope they don't even think I'm going to spend a single cent on anything related to GW Reforge or anything like that if my account isn't reactivated.
    I've had this account since I was 13, and now I'm 32. No more Q5 gold kappas/celestials for me, no more low commands. My Q8 martials are customized but still take my time to find it

    That's how Guild Wars treats me today

    First they offered to change my name, which I couldn't do because of the bug, PHANTOM (or vortex phantasm, for me u are a phantom) if i defeat shiro, varesh, liche, the grat destroyer and all the evil in tyria canta and elona, too in the fractals, Don't think that a GM who hasn't even played half as much as I've been AFK taking a dump while playing is going to make me back down.^^

    It's my legitimate account, I haven't broken any rules, and if you help me spread the word about this, I plan to raffle off all my Q3/Q8 Gold command storage without exception when I recover my account, because there's no doubt I intend to recover it. It's not a League of Legends account, a Fortnite account, or any of that crap.
    It's a piece of my life that some kid just took from me for no reason, after his friend even gave me the option to change my character name.

    so.. again... THATS HOWS GW STAFF THREATH OLD PLAYERS

    Thanks to everyone who read this rant. I plan to wait for another response; until then, I won't leak anything private to protect myself, but I won't let them rip a piece of my soul out just like that. I'm a necromancer, and I'll fight even if I'm bleeding out.

    thanks legacy for all this years togeter

    regards, Yami no shimo be.

  • be anet : > change name restrictions so you can sell more name changes

    > ban people for changing their names

    > now you can sell them new accounts

    actual rat behavior, good luck recovering your account from these fools

  • Kinda crazy that it's permanent, but Jesus Christ would literally be against their prominent religious figures rule so that would be in violation.

    there are blacklisted names that you can't use though, so if its not among them, a ban is maximally scummy

    Well I'm guessing they never bothered to update their blacklist before doing a huge drop like this. I don't think the spanish name for Jesus Christ would be high on that list, but it does constitute a reference to a religious figure no matter what. Regardless, a permanent ban for it is kinda crazy. I don't think I've personally heard of anybody receiving a permanent ban for a name. In fact, I know someone who had to name change 3 times in the last 3 months and has only gotten a couple days each time.

    I agree, especially with new name update and all. How are people supposed to know? Even a temp ban is crazy.

    A temp ban makes sense, but like a day maybe max lmao. Actually insane they didn't even just ChatGPT a bunch of offensive names and add them to their blacklist though.

  • I've been banned before, and then unbanned. At Anet, it all depends on who's handling your case, it's black or white... But above all, it's a crappy service. Anet has poor communication, both internally and externally.

    Yeah that shouldn't be a permanent ban unless there was other activity we dont know about. That freaking hurts, sorry Yami :(


    I made the mistake of mentioning that I didn't have my original email address, since years ago when I changed my phone number, I changed it everywhere except my email. That's why I lost my first Legacy account too >,<). They haven't mentioned anything about this, but it wasn't a problem in the past because I haven't changed my bank account, and even if I had, my personal information would be the same. I still have my GW Factions and Gwen cards and boxes. In the past, a few simple questions and checks were enough, and I don't know what bothers me more: that the ban is because of my name or that they're suspicious of me and won't give me a chance to prove myself. Basically, the security of my account has depended on my smartphone for years, and in the end,wasn't hackers who stole it from me, it was the politicians hahaha laught to dont cry

    As I said, he only referred to the character's name, and despite my replies since the last message, I haven't heard anything more about the topic.

    And if it's solely because of the name, I'm surprised I don't know of more cases; I've even seen Einstein's cousin ;)


    edit: I was planning to buy another account when I found out they were removing the character slots from the store, but for now, no.
