Green Naming Policy (Petition)

[Maker_Mayhem]

That's a pretty good compromise Evia.

Totally happy about the launch and great job staff!! However, I agree that the naming policy as I understand it is going to be problematic. It is really hard to come up with a good name on Blue as it is. I love seeing lore appropriate names but it is so hard to come up with one that isn't taken.

I can see wanting to let long time players keep their blue name but I am hoping you can limit it in someway to free up a whole bunch of names. Maybe something like limiting it to level 60 or level 50 plus characters with some recent play time or something along those lines.

Thanks again for all your hard work and will definitely be seeing you next month!

No thanks, I don't wanna have to race to FTE my famous names.

Wiping inactive level 1 characters is indeed classic. I cannot cite date(s), however.

[Maker_Mayhem]

That would be neat if you could find a reference point Canelek?

A "purge" would fall into the realm of classicness since it happened sometime early live era. I gave my opinion on the matter and I would like to see it happen prior to Green release. Something along the lines of all inactive level 1's (5+ years) are purged or have a letter or letters added to the end of their names so it frees the name up.

Letters added to the end of their names might be better. Some of those inactive level 1's are probably storage alts and at least a few of 'em are likely to be back due to green re-invigorating some interest.
