The last step is to decide on a name. There are rules associated with the naming of your character that is dependent on which is your home
territory. Note that after your character is created, the only way to change the name without deleting the character is to purchase the
name change feature from the
In-Game Store or
NCsoft Store.
Warning: Do
not create characters with obscene or offensive names, even indirectly, partially or suggestively. The filter will block most offensive words and words that have the potential to be abused. This is specifically mentioned in the
Naming Policy.
ArenaNet will offer you a chance to rename the character.
Customized weapons and
armor can still be used on or by a renamed character, because those items are bound to the unique id of the character, not to the name.If you recently deleted a character (you must also have started playing that character), that character's name is reserved for your account for about 24 hours before it becomes available to other players.
