So far the guild name has not been changed.

You said this was fixed, and I was wondering if this was?

They fixed the "weekly guild update". I assume this is the update that changes both Allegience and PA Name. Allegience is confirmed to have been fixed (I have asked for dev confirmation on what exactly the update was, but I haven't received a response). PA Names may or may not be fixed, since Allegience has been fixed I hoped it would be. Here are a few things to try:

1. Change your name again via the Guild Terminal if you haven't done so over the past week. I'm not sure if the request is saved if you had changed it some time ago.

2. Choosecarefully. PA Names are filtered by the same rules as player names, meaning no numbers, titles, professsions, etc. It is too harsh and I'd like to see it changed but I don't expect this to see a Dev response for some time.

Let me know if *any* of you have had success in changing your PA name recently.

I changed it about a week ago.

I will give it a few more days, then try it one more time, then let you all know

We wanted to change our overhead tag since launch and was only remedied when we moved to a different planet to drop our City... Pulling the PA Hall

Changing names do not work, nor does the tag change work.

Been trying to change name since we got the guild up and running

What works now, that did not before, was "confirmation" when you try to change name as in :"This is not a valid name" or whatever it says when you put in the new name.

Oh well..maybe in a year, they have made PA name rules different form character name rules...And given the CSR's tools to manually change PA names.....Wich they don't have...well..exept the "disband guild"..

CHANGING A GUILD NAME WORKS!!!

for 3 months my guild was known around Tempest as Owns... or even Ownas... because of this bug. I am EXTREMLY PLEASED to say that about 2 weeks ago i logged in to find a mail in my inbox saying we were once again Owna... the guild we have always supposed to have been. This feature works... but it takes the full 7-9 days for it to work so DONT GIVE UP ON IT NOW!!!

You dont understand how happy i was when this happened... for two months we ran around Tempest with a broken tag mislabeld. i almost went crazy ... but all is well again

lucky you..its been 2 weeks since I caved in on the "31'st wrecking Crew", and did a "rename" from "Crew(Crew)" to "Kampfgruppe Crew(Crew)"...And it hanst changed yet...

And the name rules Su**!...31'st is non usable.."Wrecking Crew" can't be used..Wreck, Wrecking and anything with Wreck in it gets stopped....*sigh*

Oh well..."Crew" is growing on us...Even if we are a PA with deep roots in the original "31'st Wrecking Crew"..and wanted to be the SWG: "31'st Wrecking Crew" in honor of the old one.....I guess we can live with Crew....for now.

Well as of this morning when i loged on, the guidl name has no been changed.

So, for the moment it does not seem to work.

Another thought...

Is there another PA on your server that has the same abbreviation that you are trying to get?

I think JdTigg's problem is that he can set a new guild name and abbreviation, but the change never takes place. If you try to enter something invalid, it won't take it and it will let you know immediately.

So,I don't think it is a name filter issue, though I agree that the filter is above and beyond what is needed. I don't think the game supports multiple filters just yet, so we get the name filter for everything. I'll be suggesting a change, and while I don't expect the devs to be against that change it is just a matter of prioritizing the work amongst the thousands of things in development for the game.
