    Description of the bug: After deleting a character that was meant to hold an IGN I bought for me ('Homo'), I checked that the name was available (it was) and rolled for the stats I wanted. Then when I created the character, I got an error message saying; "failed to create the character" and moved back to the previous screen. No character was created:

    When trying to create the character again, it says the name is unavailable.
    No character with the name 'Homo' shows up on the rankings however, and it is not possible to change a random character's name to 'Homo' through @changeign ingame (decided to just check this).

    What is supposed to happen?: The character should have been created or the name should have been available again.
    Where did you find and/or notice this bug?: During character creation.
    A step-by-step guide to re-producing this bug (optional): I was unable to reproduce it on either this or another account.
    Extra information (optional): Thats mostly it I believe.

    Okay something weird is going on here, someone else just whispered me with the name 'Homo'. I deleted the character for like a couple of seconds before attempting to remake it. KimberlyKimberly I assumed from your post that you had blacklisted the name?

    EDIT: the likeliness of someone knowing exactly when I was deleting that character and grabbing the name is pretty much non-existent. So it does seem like the name bugged to 'already used' and then became available again at some later point in time.

    EDIT 2: a character named 'homo' only just appeared on the rankings (it wasn't there when I posted 33 mins ago), so the name must have bugged and became available again.

    Dont know if this was actually you but the level history seems to show that indeed, all evidence seems to point to the fact that yes someone did grab the name near or at the exact moment you deleted the char. Doing $maple homo on discord also shows the chars stats which implies that it was not deleted/blacklisted.

    I presume kimmy mentioned use a diff ign because Homo is taken. So it seems like you're S.O.L in this case. This is why for me, whenever i wanna recreate saved igns, i will always have two clients open, one with perf roll complete, then the other with the delete char button ready to go, and immediately delete and check ign and create the char as fast as humanly possible.

    O okay thanks for explaining TateTate, they must have spent a LONG time spamming the check name button. The person is now impersonating and stalking me O__O. LOOOOL.

    The reason why the name didn't appear earlier could be cuz it takes awhile for the name to show on rankings. Could be after a certain level, playtime, etc.

    It seems like it has to be someone who knows you/knows that you were going to use the IGN. Otherwise, it's very weird that they're going out of their way to impersonate your character... seemingly mockingly.
