Perhaps blues name database should be carried over to green?

[DMN]

Short term we have no impostors, and long term no issue if the server is later merged with blue.

[Octopath]

Agreed

[DMN]

Hopefully they can actually do it. They might not be able to. Ideally the servers should share the same name database so we can make it future-proof, too.

Servers share databases all the time (in fact, the standard setup on any sufficiently advanced site is to have your database on a completely separate server from your application server, and then have multiple application servers since you tend to need to scale them up faster than you need to scale database capacity).

So while I know nothing about P99's setup, I'd be amazed if there was any technical reason preventing it. But whether this is actually the staff's vision for Green is an entirely separate question.

no way, I need to squat on as many names as possible when green drops

Blue needs to purge names badly. There are tens of thousands of lvl 1 names in reserve that need to be freed.

it's all fun and games until someone's reputation is ruined by the acts of their evil twins. There is plenty of bad blood and ill intent in the p99 community that would love to troll everyone with that sort of thing.

This would actually create an interesting side effect of people deleting their blue characters to 'transfer' the name to green. Like this idea the more I think about it.

I'm fairly sure people will be able to differentiate between names on two separate servers. You have a forum handle, that nobody can take from you. You'll be fine.
