Green Naming Policy (Petition)

[Izmael]

I'm sure the dev team would be happy to see a healthy flow of 20+ daily petitions reading 'where is my character???'...
...for the next few months / years.

sorry, but i have to vote against this one for 2 reasons.

Say there is a high profile player on blue and someone takes his name on green just to be a troll and/or create drama for that player. Sorry... freeing up surnames would only add fuel to a troll fire in this respect.

This community happens to be very small. Very, very, small. So its not like wow with hundreds of thousands of players. The potential for creating confusion by unlocking all the names would basically allow one person, who already is an active player, to take a handle from another already active player. Again, just makes no sense.

RIP this thread.
Devs lead the way.

Looking through this thread, how many "high profile", "well known" or "famous" players are there? Really? Give me a number. 250? 500? 1,000?

I'm sure a way can be found to accommodate these larger than life celebrities, while still freeing up literally tens of thousands of names for people to use on the new server.

Again, can anyone tell me what is even remotely classic about reserved names on a new server?

As I recall, there was a warning the first time they did a name purge on live. If you wanted to keep your toon's name, you had time to run his ass out to the newbie yard and whack a few rats to lvl him to 2. That's not asking much. And if you miss the warnings, if you're oblivious to the fact that there's a purge coming, maybe you don't really play enough to need that mule.

Reserved names is dumb and not classic.

Dont care about my characters names, theyre all spur of the moment in creation.

Lots of Pre-salty tears though from players afraid of losing "their names", I say begone with the names and let the server start fresh
