"This name is not available"

[Sir_Hawkeye]

That's the message I see every time I try to rename my character on the website. I'll list the steps I've taken to keep arriving at this problem.

step 1: Create new character with desired name
step 2: Log into a crpg server with newly created character.
step 3: log into crpg website under new character's name
step 4: Log into crpg website with my original character, choose settings, go down to name change, type in the new characters name and hit "apply"
Result: Error message stating "This name is not available"

Any help would be appreciated.

You do not need to create a new character anymore. Just put in the name you want and apply for the namechange. Delete the char you created (Settings -> Kill) and it should work.
