Changing the Name Displayed for your Character

When I started playing Guild Wars, I used a character that I no longer have on my account. The default name for my character on other people's friend list, the name that is displayed before any guild announcements I make, anywhere that doesn't use the name of the character you are currently logged in as: all of these still show that original character.

My question: Is there a way to change the name displayed on guild announcements and the like from the old character's name to the newer character's name?

Just get your friends to re-add you.
In terms of Guild the answer is no, but you could kick everyone, disband the guild, log in with the character you want and remake it/reinvite everyone

Well, bum. It bugs me, but not to the tune of all the gold it would take to get the Guild Hall NPCs back.

Thanks for the answer, though.

instead of disbanding, you might want to promote a trustworthy member to guild leader, then have them re-promote your current character back to leader

(lol did that make sense?)

Yep, made sense. Worked perfectly, too.

Thanks big time for the help!
