Why is the support being so difficult for a guild name change?

We fusioned with one of our sister guilds , and now we find out that support can't change , we wanted to get a new name ,we decided on NOVA , we did this before it's nothing new, contact support and get it changed.

 

 

After 2 weeks of back and forth between support and our guild master they finally decide to tell us ....that the name is banned . 

We already announced our new guild in the French community , and redesigned our entire discord channels based on that name.

Now we must go through the process of making a new guild , but fun stuff, if you try to add 'special symbols' it will just show as '?' .

 

 

I don't understand why is support being so inept and slow, this isn't the first time we do this,we did it back in 2019 too , only then , there was a direct telephone line to call, but since EA decided to cut support jobs back in 2023, no more telephone line to EA support.

 

This whole experience has been awfull , as now we must either stuck with the old name and not be coherent to the community we represent , or switch guilds and take a 2-3 week delay because of raid lock ,not even talking about the logistics behind it to make everyone move ,again.

    So are you saying you could change the name but that specific name is banned? When my guild asked we were told we couldn't change names. 

  • yeah,we had to pick something else entirely ,despite clearly in the guild registry that name is being used by other guilds with no issue.  

     

    Let me quote support : ''name is banned due to it being reserved or taken'' . Despite there not being any other guild with our namesake , yes we did want N O V A , but it's not only that, we have our grand community nametag before.
