FadeXF Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Honestly... as you release more servers, there is no stop-measure that prevents players who already in the game to go lock down all the names they want... ON ALL SERVERS. IN FACT: they just have to wait (if they wanted) to visually see the servers come up... and I guarantee you they would be there first as all the next waves of invites go out there's no way that by the time emails have been checked, and games clicked.... that the existing people would have already name-locked. WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO PREVENT THIS? This is pissing me off... there's been numerous threads about this item, and it's just begin ignored. This is game breaking for me. I have yet to see this game in action... and this disturbs me enough to not even try it out. I should have as equal an opportunity at naming my character the way I want to as someone else starting on the server ON DAY 1.... and not have some name-hog take all the names to not even use it.... EVEN BEFORE I CAN LOAD UP THE GAME... Any cool names like: "Auction" or "Banker" will for sure be gone on all servers even before the Wave gets the opportunity to check their emails.... don't miss-read what I'm saying... understand it: those with Wave 1 access can conceivably sit on the server list... the second they see a server pop up, they can hop on and take all the names... there is NO FAIL SAFE in place to prevent this.... and it WILL happen. Whereas if there was a queue, then 1st come 1st served... like every single other MMO to date.... and if you managed to get onto every single server to lock that name? More power to you. This is totally BS and cheating in my opinion. Cheating the system. Locking down names they won't even be using.... before the game is even released.

You are limited. 8 Characters Per Server. 40 Character Total across a MAX of 5 Servers. Edited December 14, 2011 by Kill_Kayt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FadeXF Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 Still ridiculous. Considering any other release of any MMO to date didn't have up to 7 days to lock down names before anyone else ever gets a chance. The fact you can lock down 5 servers is ridiculous to me. Especially during such a sensitive time where this game isn't even supposed to be out yet. 1 name. 1 server. Until the 21st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xandax Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 And what if somebody buys the game 2 weeks down the line? Shouldn't they have the same chance to lock in their name because they're customers. Names are always first come, first served. Just think up a new name if using something very popular.

IBJammin Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Folks seem very attached to their own preconceived names in this genre. Let go... be one with the force. You can use special characters here. You have the capacity to create new things. Fear not the change. There were a slew of folks running around in the Betas... no name I came up with was taken. It'll be OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireyes Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 It is hilarious that people complain that not enough people are being let in the game. Then going on to say all the names will be gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't they have the same chance to lock in their name because they're customers. Names are always first come, first served. Just think up a new name if using something very popular. THE GAME ISN'T EVEN RELEASED YET.... and the names are being taken and then locked on multiple servers just to spite others. Listen: your first come first serve junk I completely agree with... in ANY OTHER MMO RELEASED IN THE HISTORY OF GAMING where everyone had a queue and waited in line... and THEN first come first served. THIS GAME ISN'T EVEN OFFICIALLY OUT YET FOR THE MASSES. Do you get it yet? ....It ain't right. Like I said: if you managed to sit through 600-800 queue times on day 1 Rift to lock down names like "Auction" or "Banker" ... listen: you are my hero. That is some skill/luck right there. Awesome work. If you did it on even 1 server. But this is cheating.... the fact is there are minimal players right now, and it is like taking candy from a baby (me - sure... whatever... it's a name... to you it's not important... to me: it matters a big deal) there's no skill involved... frack... there's literally no QUEUE involved even.... so you freely lock down 40 names on 5 servers. (I don't think that's true by the way... I don't think there is a limit from what I heard.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohaiguis Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Do you really want a name that someone else thought of anyways OP? Where's the originality in that? You can be named "Guild" now so you can troll city chat? You can use ur first name like u wanted to? Or let me guess ur "Darthcliché" is gone? I've been using the same name for years on my mains in new mmos and it's never taken, cuz it's original, personal to me, and actually took some thought and creativity to make, and it still has meaning too.... So, the problem lies with you IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neamhan Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 A space opera game like Star Wars is pretty much the easiest genre in the history of forever to come up with a near infinite number of good, original names.

I have a couple other ones I am obviously keeping under wraps.... however... sending your mail to "Banker" to me was always fun. See - I got Auction on day 1 of Rift on my 2 servers....

Styxx Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Someone please claim "Darth Pickles FartsALot" on all servers quickly then sell on ebay before 20...

IBJammin Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 What's funny here to me is how I ignored such obvious names as Skywalker and Solo in the franchise for so long.
