I'd test it personally but the registration servers seem to be acting up so dont want to risk messing it up so I cant play for weeks, just wondering if anyone can confirm it.  75 Mnk Sam | 70 Drk | 40 Blm | 37 Nin Rng Thf War

In fact, a poster said she brought this up to a GM, then the GM told her he was putting a note on her account to watch incase she tried it, and to punish her if she did. She got pretty unhappy about all that business, if I recall correctly.
She may have been lieing about the whole GM thing, but to play it safe I wouldn't let any GM's know about it beforehand. I RNG 75 I WAR 37 I NIN 38 I SAM 50 I Woodworking 92+2

A pic can be easily falsified.
Take my Sig for example Note the AF head and Gluttony sword these are all new items
gluttony sword 3 weeks ago
AF head 3 weeks ago
AND this Sig has been on the site for months | | | ::Quote Selected:: | | | 01-10-2007, 04:31 AM | #15 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: May 2006 Posts: 386 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 6

Make a level 1 and name it something, delete ID, try to make another with the same name. Although, if it works, you might be losing your one chance to change your name 
Maybe have a friend try it with a mule. | | | ::Quote Selected:: | |
