Forced name change on 2.1

[eXezon 27]

Not only my main character's name (which I have since the first closed beta back in 2011) was changed in favor of a newer and lower ranked character that I also own, which I haven't logged in for months, but the game forces me to rename my main character, before allowing me to join the district, giving me the error 60008. 

Which makes me wonder...

 

• If I change the name as required for the 2.1 will my character's name also change in live?
• How will world consolidation work with names? 

 

Has anybody also encountered the same issue?

Names like that only happen due two characters on two different servers being merged into one. This is only the test environment though so it won't stay and unsure how it will be in the future.

Damn. And I just thought there was another merge on live while I was gone. I really needed a free name change.
