I have 2 characters on my account that are flagged for a name change due to server merges that I cannot successfully rename. I have found new names that the system will accept and it will show on the character select screen that the name has been changed. Then when I login with that character the name will revert back to the old name with a bunch of numbers after it. And I logout and the character is back to the old name and still flagged for rename.

I tried to rename them on the character select screen, then logout of the game and log back in as was suggested in an older thread, and that didn't help either. I still have my free character rename through the site but I'd rather not spend that on a forced name change, plus that would still leave me with the issue on a second character.
