I lost 4 lvl 50 names, and my legacy name (most important). They lost my subscription. I did everything I possibly could outside of NOT playing the game during early access and sitting watching for new servers to open to reserve names on... yet the blame goes straight to the customer, because god forbid anyone could intelligently code multiple names on one server. May seem like small potatoes to some, but why in ****s sake would I take a day off work, and log in at 4 AM on dec 13th if my names were not important to me??? what other benefit is early access??? So, in a game already teetering on the brink of disaster due to bad planning and execution, yet another bad choice has lost more customers. I put in over a year in beta for free for them, prepaid for CE edition, jumped through every hoop offered, only to be forgotten completely and made to feel like a vagabond who no one even knows on a new server with new names, and no friends lists. in the immortal words of Silky Johnson at the player haters ball: "I hate you. I hate you. I don't even know you, and I hate your guts. I hope all the bad things in life happen to you and nobody else but you. " Who is Silky Johnson and why should we care? I'm going to go log into my active server now, yay!

That didn't stop someone else from thinking it up the same as me. I got all three of my names (Afto, Aftokratorikos, and Gillies - yes, Gillies I was shocked about), and my legacy (Erimosi), on The Fatman. Biggest server pop in the game. In fact, I was shocked that my guild wasn't taken there, considering it's the name of the book about Darth Bane's origin.

I'm extremely resistant to the idea of a transfer. As it stands if I do it I will, at the very least lose 5 of my character names, inlcuding my main. It's also highly likely (no way to check for sure) I will lose my Legacy name as well. I am very attached to my main's name and surname (as well as my other character names) and I fnd it very distressing to be forced to do this. And before you say "you aren't forced, you have a choice" I have a choice between transfering and losing my character's "identities", or staying and being on a dead server with nobody to go do heroics, FPs and Ops with, and thus not having any reason to keep playing.. Not really much of a choice. It's about as much choice as someone in a burning high rise having the choice of either jumping out the window to their death, or staying and burning alive. Both are unpleasant options. For those that don't care about names, this seems like no big deal, and you have a tendency to say "get over it" or "pick a new name, or add somme ASCII stuff" but there are a lot of people who actually do care about the characters they have developed over 7 months of game play, and this matters to us.
There is no emotion (except Love, that's ok); there is peace. There is no ignorance; there is knowledge. There is no passion; there is serenity. There is no chaos; there is harmony. There is no death; there is the Force.

Judging by what my destination sever is likely to be I will be losing: Phoenix, Cole, Rocco, Allie, and even Nilus, my main so 5 out of the 6 I usually play. Ouch! At least naming one of my characters after the current CIA Director was a good idea lol...

Lost three (out of of the four I had on Lord Ardaas), but went with some creative apostrophe usage and double vowels on 'em, and I had my old names anyway . . . the biggest change was on my toon "Zara" that then became "Xa'ara" (Xara, Zara and Zaara were all taken). I actually like the new "X" name a bit more (it feels a bit more Star War-sy) . . .and it's still pronounced the same.

The best solution to all of this is if Bioware linked our accounts to our legacy names and user names, that way we can be named whoever we want without issues.

For all those people who say names don`t matter, why do we have names then? Why not just a randomized serial number? We have names cause they do matter

My fleet had 2 people in it last night before i transferred. That's not my fault. I am not excited to see how many of my alts lose their names as well. This is the fatal flaw for most MMO's is that their username database are very limited, they keep repeating the same mistakes by having a unique name only policy. I honestly think this will cause a major rift with swtor especially after transfers, they need to come up with another solution rather than forcing us to change our names completely, this is unacceptable. They should link the legacy system and chosen usernames to our accounts, that why we can pick any name we want.
