Not getting the name you want has been around since the start of MMO's. I'm just stating that when multiple people have the same last name, it's common to think that they're related. I wouldn't want myself or anyone else to be misrepresented by a complete stranger.

When I read this I was pretty shocked. I mean yeah we can all have the last name we wanted without having to compete with others but the Legacy name was supposed to be a link between all of our characters. If someone with my Legacy was being a troll I wouldn't want to gain a reputation because of someone I don't even know.

There have been talks about merging servers together to create Mega Servers to combat the population problem. Not only would they increase the total population a single server could handle, they would also merge the already existing populations from the servers they merged. Trust me they wouldn't just increase the population cap on servers. That would solve nothing since all of the servers have light population anyways.

There's a lot of talk about merging servers to become mega servers with a higher population cap. It's a great idea but there's been one thing that's been worrying me ever since the idea came up. What will happen to our characters names. I know that if you transfer a single character to another server, whether or not you keep your name depends on if that name is already taken on that server. If the name is already taken you have to change it, that makes sense since that other person was on that server before you. That brings up the conflict with Mega Servers. With multiple servers merging at once, who has priority? How will they decide who has name priority? Comment on your thoughts and throw some ideas out there as to how this should be done. I personally prefer a character creation date to select priority. For instance, The earliest character to be created with the name "Bob" would have priority to keep that name.
