Purge of stocked Level 1 names...

[Danth]

Can't delete characters for the many reasons already discussed, but there's precious little valid objection to the notion of adding a couple X's to the end of the name of any very low-level character that hasn't been used for some excessive length of time. I wouldn't care if my Hole Key mule became soandsoXX instead of soandso.

Of course it's unlikely anything will change, so the best you can do is choose a longer name and make sure the first three or four letters spell out something you like. That's the only portion of a name most folks refer to others by in chat anyway.

Never had this problem over about 10 chars. But then again I dont try to call my chars Gandalf or any other extremely boring unoriginal name [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Would end up with many mules getting deleted. I support the idea, but it's ultimately a bad one because way too much collateral damage to let you name your ranger Legolas.

Toons don't need to be deleted to change names...

This doesn't work well. SOE found this out when merging servers.

People would create characters named Analse or Buttse on both servers, and the auto-'X'-inator would create some very questionable character names.

I voted yes,.

But I would want a proper announcement before they did it.

I don't care for the number of dots in your post, sir.

purge
verb \ˈpərj\
: to remove people from an area, country, organization, etc., often in a violent and sudden way

Or in our case delete. You're responding to the discussion. I'm responding to the OP...
