Title: Toon Renames via Account Page

Hey guys,

Apparently FC have throw in an official way to rename AO toons via Paid Services - Name Change, on account page.

I'm pretty sure the Bebot bots (Raidbots) will have problems with this functionality.. Some modules (i.e. raids/points, more?) uses Names rather than ID's.. I'm not sure how big the problems are tbh..

Is it worth, or even possible, to get bebot core updated?

I havent had a chance to properly investigate this yet as far as the code is concerned.

If something is actually based on names, without coupling with ID in the core.... /facepalm

Names are not unique, id's are :\

If I'm not mistaken, the bot should be able to handle this just fine offhand, as we have had players change their names since the dawn of time before level 20 as well as due to forced name changes. But I could be wrong of course.

I'll investigate closer when I find time :)
