This is kind of a bummer. Part of the appeal to me for the Green Server was a shot at getting names I wasn't able to before. Is there any consideration being made towards purging accounts that have been inactive for years? There has to be accounts from pre Kunark that are sitting there untouched holding names that new players could be taking. A purge would be in line with live EQ practices as well.

I don't think a character purge is the answer mate. Had I came back and found my characters and stuff gone I would not have played. Them not doing that kind of crap is exactly one of the main reasons I play here. Loosing some of my toons in the first server merge on EQ Live is what made me quit that game on the spot in the first place years ago. I didn't hardly touch the game after that for the better part of a decade or more because of it. Nobody grinds to loose their progress. That being said I would say something more along the lines of names on inactive accounts for like 6 months to no longer then a year if you have not logged in should become available on the new server. Other MMO's have done this and I think it's an excellent solution for it so that nobody looses and everybody wins. Problem solved.

Also aside from them being complete total and utter morons and messing things up and not fixing them back during server merges they have never intentionally purged characters on EQ Live that I have ever seen. That's only ever happened purposely or otherwise when servers have been merged together. And again one of the very main reasons I dropped them like a bad habit. lol I just recently logged in to EQ Live to see some of the changes out of pure curiosity. My toons that remained untouched on Firiona Vie are still there. Granted I quit for a over a decade so I got to ask what purge practice on EQ Live are you referring to mate? Because the only toons I had that survived the merge because they were on a specialized server are still there surprisingly and well alive and kicking. Lmao!!!!
