Burcol Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Is there anyway to check (without creating the character with the name) if a specific name is taken on a specific server? As far as I know, you can only add people to your friends list if they're online. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VegaPhone Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 That would be a good implementation for some interested on joining any server mostly just to see where the name can fit. However, BW should have also made people with names on a server block servers in the same region. Since there might be server transfers which means it will be that much harder to transfer people with the same names between several servers.

Pink_Saber Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 You can always try what the spammers do and sent mail to a name. If it goes out, the name's been taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharagonIGN Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Really, BioWare did the whole Legacy thing backwards. They should have had you create your "Legacy" at the start of character creation and then let you pick your name from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinloo Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 It shouldn't be hard to have a external browser based app that just does a function to check. At least then you don't have to go all the way through character creation just to have the name be a fail. same goes for Legacy checking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burcol Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 So as of right now there is no way to see if a name is taken without them being online? Ah well. Thanks anyway everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darthshnooky Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Why not just make a character? If you just want to check for a name, do a quick character and use that name. You would know in less time than it took you to post and check this thread. Just sayin'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owsley Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Actually, a name check feature is really needed more for legacy names since there is no workaround to find out if it is used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SabreNova Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 For character creation its alright, although a name checker like in other MMOs would be nice, but its manageable since you can just delete>remake easily, even if you waste about 2-5 minutes....but for Legacy there really should be a name checker.....since it requires you to get to at least around lvl 30 finishing Act I, and once you pick one, its set for that server, so if you want another, gotta move.....it should say something like "The legacy/character name [insert name here] is not being used. Would you like to use it?" or something.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
