Soalean Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 It's that time again! It's been several years since the last one happened, and as a result, there's a mass of low level characters who haven't been touched, with names people want. As you can likely tell by my Display Name, I often go by the name Soalean, and on Ebon Hawk, the server that I play on, the name is currently taken by a Level 1 Bounty Hunter who is still on Hutta. Surely, I cannot be the only player who is desiring that, after the last one in 2013 or 2014, we receive another wave of name releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as they use the same criteria they used for the previous "name purge", I think that would not be unreasonable. This would mean, of course, that not every name would be released. Even that level 1 bounty hunter on Hutta that has not even been logged into in over a year might be safe if that account holder is subscribed. Unfortunately, what happened after the last name purge, was a lot of names that people coveted were not freed up. The forums then blew up with cries for new name purges with all sorts of different criteria (all designed to increase the probability that a coveted name would be freed up, of course). We even had someone who wanted to purge names of characters if they were not logged in for two weeks, IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soalean Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 If the name didn't fit the criteria for a name release, while I'd certainly be disappointed, I'd accept that as how it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveTheCynic Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 We even had someone who wanted to purge names of characters if they were not logged in for two weeks, IIRC. I recall one who wanted to purge under-used f2p characters under level 10. Not their names. The actual characters. And "under-used" meant "not touched in the last week."

'Cringe' I was fairly upset I had to tack on a last name to my original main I moved to the Ebon Hawk (not sure how you look up someone who isn't online) but a low level name release wouldn't solve the problem since most level one parked characters belong to subs.
