- 1). Create a character with the same name as your current character whose name you would like to change in a new world.
- 2). Click on "Service & Support" from the PlayOnline main menu and select "Membership." Choose "Purchase Optional Services" from the drop-down menu, select "World Transfer" and click "Next."
- 3). Place a check mark in the box next to "Agree to the above and begin procedures," and click "Next."
- 4). Choose the world you wish to transfer your character to from the drop-down menu. Make sure you select the world where you created the new character with the same name as the character you are transferring. You can transfer up to 16 characters to different worlds. Click "Next" when you have selected the new worlds for all the characters you want to transfer.
- 5). Click the "Purchase" button. The fee for a world transfer is $25 and will be charged to the credit card you have on file.
- 6). Type your new name into the name change prompt box that appears when you log in to Final Fantasy XI with your transferred character. Since a character with the same name already exists in the new world (the one you created), the game will prompt you to change your name the first time you log in.
