Name Change from/on a Banned Account

Prerequisite:

Must have 1 unbanned account on a battle.net account

1. Log into account (character selection screen on non-banned account obv)
2. Bring up the name change selection screen
3. --2a Select the banned char name -> process a namechange to whatever (just to free up the name)
4. Now, wait a few minutes then name change the non-banned account

This DOES cost 2 x Name Change, but if you're like me....Character names are really important to defining in game presence.


I just opened a ticket to change banned char name, GM said "nope, can't do it". Then waited a few minutes, tried the above steps out of spite and worked. Logged in, addons are all broken as if I'm on a new char, and guild is like "who dis, new phone"
