Upon logging in today I was forced to rename one of my characters (don’t ask for the name that’s not the point), I thought this was odd as no explanation was given – I renamed the character with a very similar name and continued to play.
After talking with a friend about it I realized my old name may have been changed due to Anet’s naming policy and thus the 2nd name would also be in violation because of the similarities.
My questions is: Was naming policy to blame and more importantly if this is going to get me into trouble with Anet what course of action should I take? Report myself in-game perhaps?
