Summary0020529: Forced name change due to duplicate name issue on character that has been recently played.

**Expected behavior and actual behavior:**
I was playing my character named "Xyl" a day ago and previous to that. Today, when trying to select the character, it says name must be changed due to duplicate name.

**Steps to reproduce the problem:**
Unsure how to reproduce. I was playing the character just the day previously so unsure why name is considered a duplicate and being made to change it.

Wargrimnir from discord confirmed it was not due to GM activity.

**Testing Screenshots/Videos/Evidences (always needed):**
<!-- Drag and drop an image file here to include it directly in the bug report,

Screenshots of trying to input original name and also using .changename to regain "Xyl" with errors.

The original name is showing as level 1:

Xyl - https://www.returnofreckoning.com/armory/character/2247689

Here is the character after rename:

Hello, was this issue ever investigated? Same thing happened to me, a character I made on Sunday (09.02.2025) has been forced to rename. I noticed it when logging in on monday evening. The character's name was "Dokay". Now I have it left in the pending rename state with the name on character screen showing up as "Dokay67A9C41E" (I haven't set a new name). Trying to set the name back to "Dokay" doesn't work, and I am also unable to create a new character with this name. Armory doesn't show anything for the nickname. I wonder if it's in some kind of a "limbo"?

That name seems to be in use from a character on your account created shortly before the renamed one. Any idea if something odd happened during character creation? https://killboard.returnofreckoning.com/character/2773265

Ah, I have a habit of first just trying out nicknames, and then deleting the character and remaking it proper (with appropriate appearance). I must have also done this in this case. Don't think I observed anything odd, so I would guess my little stunt must be the culprit.
Are you able to manually "delete" that problematic character (I personally don't see anything on my character screen), and reinstate the name to the proper one?

Or I just thought that maybe I should contact a GM for a character restoration of that character? And then I would delete it from the character screen. As that is not exactly a dev issue I think :D

Yes I think it would be best to reach out to a GM for this, either on Discord or through the in-game appeals system.
