DarthTHC Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 When you guys finally get around to your server transfer service, you should ensure that the logic favors names of ACTIVE accounts over INACTIVE ones. That is, even if an INACTIVE account had a name "first", the ACTIVE account should get the name (character and legacy name). If both accounts holding the name are active, then "first" should win. It's the least you should do for those who are still paying your salaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celldoom Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 You mean if i transfer my "anakin" over to a server but a guy who is not subbed and can't play has an "anakin" character i can't name my char "anakin"? Yeah, i think it's only fair. The inactive guy gets a free name change i think it would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masky Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) I'm completely with you here. Looks like instead they decided to go with if any name of yours exists on the servers. It's infuriating; mine is taken on the new server (I checked before transferring) and there could potentially be a level 5 with my 50, created at launch,'s name.

MajikMyst Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) If you decide to change servers.. You will be the one who changes name.. There will be no forcing of someone else to change their name to accomodate anyone.. They were on the server first, they got the name on that server first.. They get to keep it.. Subbed or no subbed is irrelevent.. Nobody should come back from vacation or whatever reason they unsubbed and be forced to change their name.. That is simply unfair to them.. You don't know why they unsubbed and unsubbing should never mean you might lose your character names.. I am sure none of you would like it if it happoened to you.. Names are first come first serve on all the servers.. If your name is taken when you transfer, then choose another..

Masky Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 No, I wouldn't like it, but you shouldn't be forced to change your character based on the server you happened to choose. If you were one of Bio's first subs you'd think they'd treat you better than their last sub if they want to keep you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rezarect Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 It's all irrelevant! When WoW had merges/unmerges (and in every single MMO that there is) you could not have 2 of the exact same names on one server. Pick another name. It's just a game, so play it!
