Hello. Big fan of the game, and understand that support staff is likely very busy, but I’ve been waiting on getting this question answered and if I could get it answered here, I could close the ticket and take a little off said staff’s workload.

I named a character “Sporb Onenut.” It’s a name I used for a Pathfinder character. The last name is a reference to the fact that this character only has one “nut,” and it alludes to the fact his controller (me) shares that trait.

It’s not meant to be malicious or anything, but a friend told me it may break GW2 naming policy. If so, can the character be flagged for a rename? If not, no worries. Not trying to step on any toes; just want to make sure I’m following the rules.

Much thanks.

EDIT – Not sure if it helps, but the ticket I made has ref# 120831-017217.

We do not have a means to “flag for renaming” at this time. The character can be renamed by a GM, but we do not have optional renames at this time, even at request and even to avoid a potential violation.

You have done exactly the right thing, and agent will get back to you on this.

Bah, I grew out of that shyness long ago.

Many thanks, and sorry for the trouble.
