i have the same issue. i even tried to create a new char with the name i want, and it worked, deleted the char and tried with the contract, and it was unavailable..
the game is really unplayable atm because of constant connection problems with the server, and it seems like it is not only me who have had these kind of problems the last couple of days. Havent heard a thing from anet. does anyone know something about this?
