On the two servers I play on the most I am forced to change the names of my character, despite being on a Destination server. So yup, and with the founders of BioWare retiring, thats it for me.

All my alts need to have their names changed. This nonsense is beyond unacceptable. GOOD JOB BIOWARE. Just about had it with ridiculous screw ups. It's bad enough pvp is growing joke..

Darth-Rammstein Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 None of my transferred characters have had to name change but ALL of my already destination server toons have the red exclamation point. Bioware screwed up again, now alot of people such as myself have lost our names due to their error and will probably never get them back because it would be "unfair" to take back the name from the people that merged over. I'm usually not one to be mad over a name change but I had those names reserved on my destination server, this isn't right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lornalove Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I'm having a hard time with one of mine. I've tried every ridiculous spelling I can think of and they're all taken. I mean, I can understand, since this was a real life name, even if it wasn't common. The other one I can't find a replacement for is a name I made up off the top of my head, so apparently I am no so creative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GalacticKegger Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 (edited) Alt code that name up...its annoying and awesome.Bingo! I was actually hoping for "Name Unavailable, Please Choose another" so I could change some of them.

Maybe you're just being obtuse, or uncreative, or both, but I'm pretty sure there are names available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zilik Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 When the first set of merges happened i had to come up with 4 new names, i did so with little trouble. Today i find one of my character needed another name change, it took me 2 tries and i had something i am happy with. Not all names are taken, names you thought would be cool were taken, come up with something else and move on. If your basing a name on a book, character, etc and its taken be more original, if your names were original and based on nothing but still taken then theirs no reason you cant come up with something else based on nothing. I have to think the trillion or so possible letter combinations available aren't all taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackavaar Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 First of all, you were not on a Destination server. There were no Destination servers this time around. All servers were transferred to a new mega server that happened to share the same name as your server. Secondly, read this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JovethGonzalez Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Hi folks, Because a thread about this topic already exists, we'll be closing this thread in order to consolidate discussion. We encourage you to join the existing discussion of renaming here: Name Changes Also please see this update: When naming conflicts occur due to the consolidation, players are given priority based on a variety of factors such as character play time and if they have already had to rename their characters as part of the first character transfer program back in June. Please do keep in mind that this does not encompass all of the factors taken into consideration, but those are an example of the major ones. Thanks!
