I would like some input on the following idea I had.
If you want to change your name in FFXI, would it work to CANCEL your character (Not delete him/her). Name another character (a new Lv. 1) the same name on the same server, then restart your account.
Since that name is now taken, would you be able to type in a new name?
Or, would your account become erased permanantly when you create another character, with the same name, when the old one is on hold?
