Statistics show mmo players today only stay in most games 3 to 6 months, I guess thats the new long term.. I don't see the re-fund happening, that cs agent was either wrong or new to the job..
Do not dwell in the past, do not not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

Expectations lead to suffering

Styxx, you clearly have nothing positive to contribute here so unless you have suggestions for improvements I am just going to chose to ignore you now. You can post if you want, but if all you can do is nit pick other's ideas and you're unable to contribute some fresh perspective to at least accompany your criticism you will be wasting you time and energy there buddy. lol

So lets work together to find solutions like either more transfer options or expanded identification option, then make them make those changes.

If I use /whisper or /invite , or /ginvite ... to WHOM the command goes?
Where`s my answer?

If I have Legacies Doe and Roe, with names 1 through 8 ...

like this : (One, Two, Three... Eight) Doe and (One, Two, Three... Eight) Roe ...

When I use /w Doe, or /i Doe, or /ginvite Doe.. where does it go?

One more thing... HOW do you allow duplicate names for someone that has no Legacy unlocked yet? Like a new player that makes 8 avatars named One, Two... Eight?

Is it, now?

If you do create a valid solution like using legacy names to further differentiate players/characters before you ruin people's characters and their experience you might even get some of the players who recently quit back instead of losing more.
This quote is taken from your opening post. I am asking HOW do you plan to see it work and HOW will you adress any potential issue that comes from it.. like the post above.

great thoughts... this is what I was hoping to see... ideas and solutions from the players for the developers to read. Thank you for contributing.

When posters propose that some of the responsibility lies with you: nit pickery and /ignore

I just wanted to add here that you did not pay for your "name".
So therefore you do not own it, it is not your property and cannot claim ownership or control of it.

Now for a constrctive suggestion: perhaps add a little originality in your labelling process?

Chin up mate, it's still the same game.

One more question for you OP:

If you have someone that has Legacy unlocked yet, but 2 competing Legacies with 8 identical avatar names... like in the above question... and you have a new player that wants to use the names One ... Eight ... how do you identify the player without the Legacy?

Not surprising considering said special snowflake made three threads complaining about losing his name. I'm sure it was something really original, too.
