Settlement Names

So, apparently I guess I screwed up and somehow selected my settlement's default name instead of its intended one I meant for it to be.

Will there be a time where I can change its name before release, like with the surname change scroll?

*Edit: I noticed its listed in the store under Misc., but it says "Maximum Quantity Reached." I don't have one, but could this be because I have a surname scroll? Or is it just currently locked?

The scroll in mind is called "Settlement Name Change," and you are correct it is a max quantity of one per use. Once purchased, head to the Domain & Settlement Selection portal (the appropriate server selected), and a window prompt will be open for you to rename the settlement. After that it is a matter of time for the name approval to go through, once accepted (if approved) then you will receive a private message here on the website about it. :)

It won't allow me to buy it; its blocked out by "Maximum Quantity Reached" even though I do not own the "Settlement Name Change" scroll yet.

Go to the map and click the paper with a pen in the left hand corner. Does it allow you to rename?

Some people were able to rename from the default when they left it as the default name. So it's possible you have a rename currently on it.

There is no paper with pen in the left hand corner

Nope it doesn't show up at all on my screen on domain. The legend does, but not a paper/pen.

I would buy the Settlement Name Change if needed, but its not allowing me to do so because the store thinks i own one already, even though I do not - no option in Domains nor under Inventory.

Your domain/settlement shows up on your account page? and under holdings?


12/13/2019 3:30:26 AM #8

Yes, my village shows up under Holdings

Hmm. Yea thats a weird one, I'd suggest emailing support

(I checked to see if its the surname thing, but it's not cause I have surnames like 3 and it hasn't changed to being max quantity for me)

did your default name selection get approved? It still goes through a manual acceptance by the devs so you might be able to reach out to them and get it halted before it gets approved.

the default name gets auto approved sadly

Are you sure? It took a couple of days before I received a notification on my name acceptance and I kept the default settlement name.

Trying to find this out ^ Name is already locked - trying to buy name change, but can't.
