Hey everyone, I plan to change my job to Hunter here soon, right now I'm currently a Merchant. I don't care about my Merchant EXP or anything like that at all, or the 7 day penalty either. What I do care about is my job Alias, I don't want to lose it. When I leave the merchant guild do I keep my currently set Alias for the 7 days while I'm waiting to transfer, or will I lose it? I want to switch to a Hunter, but don't want to lose my Alias. Has anyone else switched and got to keep the same Alias, or someone at least explain to me how switching works? If I don't lose my Alias thats awesome, but if I do, in the 7 days I'm waiting to change, whats keeping someone else from stealing my claimed Alias?

I have switched before. When you join the new guild (I went thief -> Merchant) you pick a new alias. Im not sure whether or not you can pick the same one, or whether anyone else can take your old alias for your old job.

I would really like to know from someone who has successfully kept their Alias between jobs. Has anyone switched and successfully been able to use the same Alias before?

u cant keep the same alias iam sorry to say. i tried.

aww.. even if no one else takes it? It will just always say its used? your positive? damn.... can anyone confirm this? because I DO NOT want to leave the merchant guild until I know for sure.

selfless bump, anyone have any other information?

I'm sorry for the tripple post, but editing doesn't bump it back to the top.


All I am asking is for ONE person to tell me if they have successfully changed jobs, waited the 7 days, and was able to use the EXACT same alias for their new job.

Can ANYONE answer this? Please.
