    "A character with that name already exists"

    I sometimes would randomly get that errior during the loading screen.

    Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

    Wait.

    There's an issue with instance/continent transfer of character. It will either auto-fix itself with time (how, don't ask me), or you need for Blizzard to patch it up. Major culprit was dungeons and those are turned off in the beta ATM.

    If you have disconnected, then your 'character' may not have logged off properly from the game and when you try to log in as that character again it may be 'flagged' as a duplicate.
    Give it time and your 'ghost' character will be disconnected properly, and you will be able to log in. (Assuming you were disconnected and that is what the issue is. If it is not then this would not help :O)

    Is there any way to prevent this occurring? It is really pissing me off....

    Dabbling in Necromancy certainly isn't going to help.

    Not really. But it shouldn't really happen often unless you're having frequent disconnects.

    Either way, I find that it normally doesn't take longer than 5 min for your copy to be logged off and you're able to log back in.

    Damnit... it does happen randomly but way too often for it to be acceptable. It also takes about 10 mins, some times up to 15 minutes for my character to log off and let me back in as usually I get 'Character not found' after it has logged.

    Incredibly frustrating... not to mention the 'instance not found: transfer aborted' error I am getting as well...

    It is driving me mad! I just wish I knew what was causing it so I could try and fix it. It is bringing me to the point of quitting the game as I have MANY other games that run flawlessly...

    meh.
