So, How Many Names Did You Lose?

Out of 13 characters across 2 accounts, I lost six character names and one legacy name. All of the lost ones were pretty common, so I wasn't shocked to see 'em gone... not crazy-happy, but not surprised.

Rather than get upset, I decided to treat it as a one time free name change, giving me a chance to be creative.

What's fun to do is add the name you lost to your friends list and then see if the person who has it even uses it. My mains name on the Fatman server is someones inactive lv1 nameholder....kind of annoying it's not even being used but oh well.

The new name isn't half bad, but I had used my old name in all the MMOs I have played.
Oh man . . .
Can we please just have our pre-KotFE SWTOR MMORPG back?

The moment I can move Server I will lose 2 names. And I am very saddened by that...

I lost 1, however that 1 happened to be my main, both his first and legacy name. So, while the server vitality is amazing now, I can't say that I"m totally happy with the transfer as a whole, but I think its better in the end...

I specificly logged in on the first moment of day 1 early start to make sure I got all the names I wanted, and was lucky enough to level and get the legacy name. Now your telling me too bad? I'm pissed. My remaining choices are stay on an empty server to keep the names I want or choose new names. It feels like the NGE all over again

I'm gonna lose my mains name (Zephyr) but thats cool, I saved a variant of it on the destination server looong ago in preparation for transfers.
