You shouldn't.. But we are talking about a character name.. I fail to see why it is so hard to just make a new one or change the spelling of the old one.. This shouldn't be an isssue of paying for something you don't want.. But if you are going to quit over a name.. Then he is right..

To the OP.. I didn't lose any of my names.. My names are creative enough that nobody else seems to have them.. Nobody had my legacy either..

People unsubing because of a character name... haha!
I moved 3 characters of my mine and one of the names weretaken, plus my legacy name. But really, why would I care about that? All I needed to do was add one letter at the end of my old name and I had it again. All my friends call me with the "old" name still. I don't see the problem here, unless you are diehard RP player, in which case; too bad.

I lost 3 names...2 of them are names that previous people used as name holders and aren't even being used.

grrrrrrrrrr.....*shakes Fist*

Was named Dodge on Juyo since early access. Transfer to Canderous Ordo and the Dodge their is just a lvl 1 consular on tython with no activity. No telling how long they have been inactive.

Same thing goes for Garret on the opposite faction, their just lvl 12 Sith Warrior with no activity.

LOL...I say boot them and take my names back...

It's not hard...in fact it would be really easy for me to use a special character our alternate spelling, but I don't want to, so I'm not going to continue paying the subscription. Why would I pay for something that I'm not happy with?

Not that it's a huge deal; it's just not worth my money right now.

Out of curiousity, how do you see what level/class someone else is if they're not online? Do you just add them as a friend or is there some other command to do that?

Just wondering.

Now to spend an hour on each trying to think of better ones, and a legacy to match.

Edit: For the record, I'm not bitter or in any way blaming Bioware. Just a little sad, which is outweighed by the fact I'll (hopefully) have a decent WZ pop rate at any time of the day.

Edit 2: Get off your high horses about original names. You know the real reason your name wasn't taken? It's either because a), you're lucky, or b) the name is terrible.

No matter how original you think your name is, if its pronouncable, someone else has used it at some point throughout history.
I lost one, one that was randomly generated and I cant even remember what it was originally. All the ones that I came up with on my own transfered fine. I have never had an issue with names in an MMO, then again I dont put words together, use anything close to famous names or use anything basic. I have been using the same set of names since before graphical MMOs came out (back when MUDs where the "online games")

I just keep adding them and removing them as a friend, you'll briefly see what level, class and the planet they are on. However I think they should at least make it so we can see if they exist and the last time they logged on instead of hiding everything. Though that's only in the guild roster far as I can tell.

None.

Transferred 8 chars from A to B and didn't lost anything. The only issue I had was that I made my first transfer and target server said: 2 characters. So when I transferred my 7th char I have reached 8 char limit. even thou when I logged into that server I still had one slot empty. Luckily BW was aware about that and they already had prepared a solution. 10 minutes later my 8th char was being transferred.

But my bro-in-law transferred like 6 chars and lost at leas 4 names.... And they were reallu unique so it's almost impossible that target server already had those names. He wrote a ticket to a GM and we are awaiting for the answer.
