Don’t forget to check the Known Issues List to see if your issue is currently being worked on by the dev team.
We also have existing workaround for some issues that you can find here:

What is your character name in New World: Ser Squatsalot
What server/world did you experience your issue on: Central EU/Menkar
Describe the issue you are experiencing: One company, Phoenix Initiative/Phoenix Initiatv/Phoenix Initiative I keeps changing it’s name whenever a war is close to being declared on one of their territories. I suggest adding a limit to company name changes to once every 30 days, minimum. It’s been HIGHLY noticed on the server, and the leader of the company, Elidan of Menkar, has been problematic from the beginning and has been reported but MULTIPLE people many times, but this exploit, even though I’m in the same faction - is just a bit too much.
Is this a bug or an exploit: Exploit

Been happening on my server too, it’s a huge problem that needs attention.

I have evidence that this same person exploited gold duping on multiple occasions to snowball their position in the server.

Update; he literally just changed it again.

Is there a server this has not happened on?

Also currently happening on my server, Ohonoo US-EAST.

I personally haven’t had this happen on my server, as there are no wars and my server is dead, but it might be a bit better moving this over into the bugs and exploits section of the forums.
