    Servers share name databases per location, actually.

    It's differentiated by west coast, east coast and European servers. This means you can not have a character of the same name on more than one of the servers in these groups:


    -Heavens Tear, Sanctuary, Lost City & Archosaur

    -Harshlands, Dreamweaver & Raging Tides

    -Lothranis & Momaganon

    ok i have one Chara with my name on Archosaur , Dreamweaver , Harshlands
    but here's ther problem. i want to move to Heavens Tear where my friends are , but its not letting me make the name, i just deleted the ones from Archosaur and Dreamweaver , Harshlanfs i just made with the name i use and it creates! , but i want to be in Heavens Tear but it says Chara name is being used......... , so what do i do?? , do i have to wait 7 days for the chara's to get fully deleted ??

    Ok , lets try saying it like this just dont skip that part what i said up there^^ ,
    ok , lets make it clear and hopefully we could.. So im limited of making characters with the same name on each server ( the ones you showed me) and if i want to make a character with the name i love using.. i have to delete one from those server and wait 7 days for i could make a new chara with same name on one of those server??

    Yup it take 7 days to a char to be deleted, but could also mean that someone else have the name. Try to find a other name.

    my friend just told me , that like before , you could make a chara in each server with the same name , but now she says , they must have changed it , becuase she said , she tryed making a chara with the same chara and it wouldnt let her. so yea , is either change name or change something in the name... , but ill wait till the chara are deleted from the other server to see if thats the problem.. hopefully it works ):

    I'm pretty sure they never changed it since Servers share databse since they exist....

    You're on the right track, but there are a couple more databases than you thought.b:chuckle

    Hmm, this is like one of times in Who Wants to be a Millionaire where "ask the audience" gives the wrong answer.


    In fact, name databases are linked into four different groups:


    PvE West: HT, Sanc, Archosaur

    PvP West: Lost City

    PvE East: DW, RT

    PvP East: Harshlands

    And then the most recently added EU servers, Lothranis and Momaganon, would be on the 5th.
