[Issue] Character Forcibly Flagged for Rename
I'd like to know why my name was revoked. I had this name since beta. It didn't violate the naming policy at all. Not one of the points listed. I contacted CS through the ingame ticket and got thi...

Same rules apply on transfer to a different server , if a character exists with the same name already the character being transferred will be flagged for a rename.
As per here
- If your character name is already taken on the destination server, your character will be transferred and assigned a temporary name. You will be prompted to choose a new name for the character when you log into the new server.
It didn't get flagged. That's the issue.
I transferred all my characters and not one of them needed a rename. I even RAN AROUND on my main (which is the one who's name I'm having issues with) on the NEW server.
I come back 5 days later and my two Jedi are flagged for rename.
And when I go to pick the name I had it says "Invalid name". It's been ages since beta, but I'm pretty sure it actually said if the name was taken. And "Invalid" was for names like "Luke", "Vader", and other names that were found in the Star Wars movies.
Ahh ok
copyright issues wont be confined to star wars movies, so if I had a character named clark kent for example it would be flagged for rename.
not sure why they flagged your characters, other people online would of most likely reported it though for it to be brought to there attention and be flagged (what ever that reason is).
I think only the Star Wars names were 'hard coded' into the Name Validation System, along with swear words. But stuff like "Clark Kent" would probably require a human intervention to flag. And even then it'd be hard...unless the Legacy name was "Kent".
Seeing as other's have had their character names flagged for rename after transferring, I'm thinking it's a bug...so hopefully THIS TIME the CS Ticket will get an actual human response.
It has been a while since I have seen issues with renaming , there was a bug that did occur in that the rename wouldn't take and it kept flagging for rename no matter how many times the character was renamed, maybe it has resurfaced again.
Is this what is occurring ?
