1) there is definitely a server issue that seems to be affecting the ability to sometimes re-create names I can't remember if it's when you try to remake it on the same account or when you try to recreate it on another account.

2) it seems to me there is still someone actively swiping high quality names which is quite surprising considering how dead the game is because one of my names I let expire on accident and it got taken within the same day.

So really it's a gamble you have to ask yourself, it may go smoothly, it may not. I doubt it will get stolen by a bot instantly however you may get the glitch that prevents anyone from making it. That's my 2 cents.

If it was me trying I would make a random name, then delete it and try to make it on the account you are trying to move to. If that fails then you know not to even try. Because chances are it will happen with the good name.

You know what I mean, jerk... It's bright yellow. You know exactly what you're doing... you're intentionally rage-baiting...

Also, my brother told me "he has no idea what he's talking about the bots can claim names faster than any human can type".

Idk much about but I believe him. And the reason I asked in the first place is just to be safe because I heard that 2 lettered names can be stolen by a bot really easily...

And you're right about one thing, I might not have another option except to try. But nobody has answered if the bots still exist.


Dont feed the troll

Someone told me there is now a command you can use to "rename" your character. Think that's any safer? I really appreciate your in-depth answer btw!!

Well... I'm new and wanted to give them a chance, but I noticed in other postings on here that they were doing the same thing. So yeah, they're definitely trolling with that bright front crap.

Lod isn't what it used to be most people have moved to d2r. Doubt anyone is running bots to sit on names. Blizzard servers suck on both games.

open up 2x d2s, character creation with the char/name ready, character you wanna delete on other

delete char, instantly get name on your 2nd game

name bots try 1 name from a big ass list of names, one name at a time over and over again (multiple cdkeys, multiple accs trying) but unless they have an account dedicated to trying just your name, you'll be fine.

I ended up moving it and having no trouble, but I lost another name. It was also a "good" name, a single one word... But as long as I got *my* name that's all I care about.

How did you lose it? As in, those 5 seconds it takes to delete a character and make a new one, it got stolen? That's crazy and insane. I never knew bots was that on the ball.

Yes.. and honestly it was more like 3 seconds or even less. I had two windows opened and it still got taken. It's fine... I don't really play and it was my brother's.
