<div>I know this board is for things in testing, but there are some bugs with name changes that should be addressed before the server mergers when name changes might further aggravate negative feelings about the mergers. This board has the best chance of being noticed by a dev without causing flames.</div><div> </div><div>I made an alt named Madamcurie in November 2004. Of course that violates naming policy and it was changed to Freya in early 2005. Ever since then I have had several issues with items and housing owned by this character as a result of the name change.</div><ul><li>No-trade house items assigned to Madamcurie can no longer be picked up by Freya.</li><li>Madamcurie still shows up as owner on the housing access window on the inn door, but Freya shows up as owner when you type in owner names in the visit option on the inn door. Neither Madamcurie nor Freya can relinquish the inn room, since it will not accept either name in the confirmation box for releasing the room. I found this out only last week when I went to move her housing to a more convient location so I could use it for house item storage to make more room in my main's house. This would be a significant problem if it were my main, since I could not move housing locations and only my main has enough personal status to afford upgraded housing.</li></ul><div>While these bugs were not enough of a problem on my alt to warrant a petition, they would have been a significant irritation for my main character.</div>
