Additional Notes:
Any character that is deleted by this can be requested to be restored via the Petition forum.
There will be no downtime on the Blue server to perform this.
We will still be allowing early character creation on the Green server prior to the official launch.
The blue-green name sharing functionality is not currently implemented on Green Beta at this time.

What if the name is already taken prior to the restore.

What about expanding the character wipe criteria to characters on permanently banned accounts?

considering they cant be logged in anymore than will be wiped due to inactivity

Only if they are levels 1 through 9.

On live if you had too many characters you could scroll through the excess with the up and down keys.

Oh interesting. I didn't know that could even happen on live, but I guess once they started merging servers it had to come up ...

On live, I do NOT remember being able to scroll through excess characters, but I DO remember them allowing free server transfers. That was different, though, on live this was an issue because Sony/Verant chose to merge servers and allowing free transfers was a fair resolution to a problem that they had created.

On p99, if you end up with more than 8 characters on a single account, that is on you. Login accounts are FREE on EQEMU, and you know about this issue NOW, so if you insist on jamming a single account with 16 characters, oh well, not so sure the devs are going to be that understanding.

Fair play.

I think I will make a separate login account for my green characters. My concern, though, is I will have to delete the "reserved names" from my main (blue) account in order to use them on a separate green-specific account. Not a problem for me, they're level 1s. Problem for people that have a high-level character they'd like to use the name of on green.

Not to mention I've witnessed firsthand numerous instances of the server names database acting fucky about updating after deletion, and not allowing you to re-create a name you just deleted.

In my worthless opinion, the whole cross-server name reservation thing was not a great idea. The repeated names on green are gonna have to be changed anyway when it merges to blue.

I would not make the assumption that the majority of players will even read the forums on a regular basis, let alone that everyone will read this specific post.

LOL, I am not thinking that, at all. But I think that the devs are aware of what I mentioned.

Also, on Live there were other servers that players could transfer to. That really isn't an option on p99 (sorry Red). Is a mod available to make more than 8 characters available? If so, and the devs can, and want to, implement that, great. If not, what other option is there?
