So, How Many Names Did You Lose?

Soon after the game launched I had gone to each server of the type I prefer and rolled level one place holders for my names. When I transferred I deleted the level one and gave my high level transfer the name.

That worked out well for me because of luck. The server my mains were on were offered transfers to a server I had placeholders on.

I reserved names anticipating BW might eventually sell server transfers.

since the transfers I haven't been playing SWTOR I lost my main's username and my legacy name, I was deeply disappointed how this was handled and refuse to rename myself until bioware comes up with a solution in repairing this issue, because it does need to be resolved.

Those are 4 just off the top of my head. I'm sure others can add to it.
your new name is CrapBag. How you doing.

Its not fun to lose something you put time, energy, thought into. Not to mention the entire family lore/lagacy/story you might have put into said names.

Names are a important part of an individuals character's story, nobody should be forced to change an identity, once you been named prior to transfers then that should be it, there should be no worry about loss thereafter.

You know I would be willing to buy my lost username and legacy name back, that's how much I want it back and refuse to rename him.

Have to agree with the guy renamed to crap-bag, if names are going to stop you from re-subbing then you best find another game because losing a name is such a trivial matter BW isn't going to do anything about it. It's unfortunate you lost your names bu quit being so dramatic and just think of other ones.

Names actually do matter to alot of players, if you are pushed off one server and onto another and put into a position where you have to make a choice, because the name prior to that is all you ever wanted to be, why be limited to that?

It doesn't make any sense whatsoever and yes something needs to be done about it.

I'm a huge stickler for names. It is one of my pet peeves.

In WoW, when I got really bored and sick of the stupidity people would come up with for characters...I would search zone by zone for any name violating the naming policy.

When I choose a name I want it for a specific reason, a concept, an idea, the underlying meaning it may have in relation to another character of mine....

I'm pretty sure if anyone walked into a new town and was told they can no longer have their name... they wouldn't be very happy with it either.
