You have to buy a name change from the in-game store, I believe.

I recall one thread like that.

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10369560

Regina started posting trying to help. It ended when Regina posted that GMs checked the OP's account, and the OP's character was currently wearing the armor they claimed they had a problem with.

So short answer - no, it won't mess up your existing gear, and it probably wasn't even a bug in the first place.

Just to make it clear, the name found on your current customized gear(armor/weapons/etc) does not change. But they are still usable on that character, as all items are customized to the character and not the name. Anything you customize after your name change, will however display the new name.
