Well i been having an issue with follow since one of my level 50 toons name is close to my tanks name example.. lets say tanks name is billybob and other toons name is billyrob ok all when i set billybob as the toon to follow there not following him there following billybob. Any ideas on how to fix beside paying money for a rename.

uhh..

If you want, send me a PM with your exact toon names. Because having toon names with "billybob" and "billyrob" aren't even remotely the same. It's about as equal as "Frank" and "JohnDoe".

I brought this one up in the past boss. Eventually renamed them during a server move but it looks to be (not saying it IS doing, just looks) a /follow billy
and ends up following the closest one.

With free accounts just make two characters with the same first 5 letters (Pants and Pantsorama) and see what happens.

The issue is (at least was previously), having something like the following:
Kannkor
KannkorTwo
KannkorThree

Because a partial search for "Kannkor" finds the nearest person, and any of the 3 above will be found.

A simple prefix is different, IE:
KannkorOne
KannkorTwo
KannkorThree

I'd never have an issue.
