So, How Many Names Did You Lose?

I lost 17.

That's each of my characters on each of the servers I ever rolled on.

This whole thing was handled so poorly, from the fact that destination servers were deemed so special as to not have to compete for any of their names even if they were on inactive accounts in these thinly-veiled mergers, to the fact that the RP communities on the EU RP-PVP servers were straight up punched in the teeth from some incredibly poor decision-making on Bioware's part. And since I've had all I can take of being jerked around by a company I once held in high regard in the gaming industry (that's Bioware, btw, not EA in case anyone was dense enough to make that mistake), I cancelled my sub yesterday, and would have re-cancelled it today if that were possible.

These guys don't have a clue about how to build something that lasts.

Only had one toon (now there is a second ) and kept his name. But the legacy was lost.
I managed to come up with a nice new legacy name tho. So i can live with that.

I transferred 8 characters and lost 0 names. Maybe people should pick more original names? Going by "Nezix" (or Nez for short) online since 2002ish.
Nezy - 50 Marauder (main)
Nez - 50 Operative (alt)
Nezix - First 50 Sorcerer on Vrook Lamar. (retired)

So why is your alias "Nezitx" here in the forums?

I lost six out of seven names of characters I transferred...it's actually sort've sad.

I'd guess I lost them because I nailed down the correct spelling of a number of awesome names...now I lost them all. On the plus side (I guess) I created those characters names on the old server, in case somehow it ever becomes something again...heh.
Feel free to PM with any questions.

I just lost one, but I took my time and come up with an even better name. I even got to keep my legacy name.
I donīt really understand the big deal about the name issue ( I mean itīs just a name, not that big a deal imo) But I understand that people donīt like it, and I hope that those folks think playing on more populated server outweighs the negeative of a different name.
Anything that is unrelated to elephants is irrelephant.

I originally went by Nezitx, but people found that hard to pronouce (Nez-icks) so I typically use Nezitx, Nezix, Nezy, etc for my toons
Nezy - 50 Marauder (main)
Nez - 50 Operative (alt)

I lost my main character's name, and for the life of me I can't figure out why it bothers me so much...but it does.

Why can't the client recognize PCs by first name and legacy name, or first name and title? Think of all the naming options that would open up; not only that, it has a place in Star Wars lore, as most people were often referred to by first and last names.

Add a toggle option to disable displaying it, to avoid cluttering the game screen, and have the client recognize duplicate names and prompt you for clarification when /whispering or sending mail.

Viola...heartache avoided...

Oh well, canceled my sub till a feature similar to this is implemented. Unfortunate since I really was enjoying most aspects of the game. C'est la vie.
