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. | ||

Everyone would still have their character names locked. The only names that would be freed up in the purge are the thousands of lvl 1 characters that haven't even moved from the original spawn point and were created merely to reserve the name.
Any active character on blue should be able to reserve their name on green, this makes complete sense to avoid troll identy theft... However, forcing everyone to use what's leftover after 10 years is pretty lame, considering how many lvl 1 characters are out there just rotting away with good names. Purge the lvl ones that have no Plat or items, it just makes sense | ||

What they needed to do was come up with a one-size fits all naming policy, for legacy accounts and future accounts. And I think they did the best they could. | |||

I'm sure the devs can run a script to look at total playing time, then delete and characters with less than five minutes played, this wipes all characters made for "names sake" and spares any mules etc, no one can complain about losing five minutes.

Right and the devs should be able to cross reference IPs if there are multiple EQemu accounts. Technically speaking, all of our sub login server accounts are supposed to be handled under the same EQemu account. I’m sure they can run a query though of characters and cross reference play time, creation date, IP, last log in date and inventory in the event that it is a mule.

It doesn't even need to delete the characters, when EQLive does it it just adds an X to the ends of those names and should that player want to play that character they can petition for a quick rename.
