Screwed over by Bioware!

You must be using Windows 95 and IE 0.1 BETA, pal... the screenshot is right there. The point of this post seems to be lost on you, but here are the names regardless: Doom, Bane, Grace, Maverick, Nemesis, Rampage, Reaper and Titan.

"Oh yeah, the name Titan... that's sooooo original, yeah! AMG is he an idiot?" Well, what if you were in a guild called Titans? That toon was the mascot, man. Just please stop hating and go surf wikipedia or somesuch.

I can't help, but agree. I beta tested this game and grew pretty fond of the name I gave my main from the beta. Therefore when the game launched I named my toon my beta name. Then the first transfer came around I lost my main's name to an unsubscribed level 10 gunslinger.

What would you do? There's a limit to how much crap people can take, and now you're starting to add to it. Why is this thread here? Because BW customer server doesn't care about it's players as long as they shut the hell up and pay. So, I shared my story with the community instead. If your love for this game has made you blind, then stay ingame and leave the forums for people who are still trying to convey a point.

To speak plainly your character names are crap.

Actually I'm using DOS with Lynx.

My "love" for this game has not made me blind, but your anger might have made you blind.
It's always confusing to me when people post something in a forum and expect everyone to agree with them or shut up.
It doesn't work that way, you know.
Anyway, I'm going to take your advice and go play. You are trying to make a mountain out of a molehill and in the process anyone who disagrees -wholly or partially - is either lying or blind.
Have fun!

I don't know, maybe it's something with me but a name, as much as it is important, wouldn't make me throw a fit like you do. It's a game, a game run by people and like most they make mistakes. I lost a few names myself but the ones that I was really attached to (made by myself - and that should get you thinking) stayed because they were original.

And before you ask - yes I believe Doom or whatever is not a NAME of your character, it's a nickname/title he/she got so it's still there you just need to rolepay a bit and the problem is gone.

Personal opinion, but a characters name should be a "real" name, and not just a word or swagaussarusrex.

Has anyone ever told you, that you are a very rude person?
So people dont agree with you. Big woop, grow the hell up.

And Bane? OH MY GOD. Did you think of that yourself?
Its not a "Cool" name. Its already been done, thought of and worked through.

Wanna talk about "Cool" names?
I had America for my trooper, thats right. "Captain" America.
Scully was my IA. You guessed it, "Agent" Scully.
I had a Character size 4 Guardian. Completely green Twi, called "Hulk".

These are just a number of names with characters that were all between levels 40-50 when i stopped playing just after server merges.
Your "Placeholders" were all pre level 10

And honestly, im coming from where you came from.
Part of the reason i preordered was to try to get hold of names for toons.
Some like the ones above that were a bit funny, one was just my first name. Another was the name ive been known through every MMO ive ever played.

Then less than a year later after having made these characters, i was moved servers and had to rename them all (Minus my main one).
Was i upset? Yes.
Did i understand why the servers had to merge? Yes.

I'd much rather a game full of people than being sat on my own in my own little server going "Oooo, Look at my pretty names".

And as people have said, if you preordered this game just to preserve names. Issues man. Issues.

This topic is new and original.

I remember when the forced merges happened, I lost a few names.......

Dark times.

But then, I got over it due to the fact that its just a freakin' game, and my whole life doesn't revolve around my character names. So I got over myself quickly, put some more thought into it, and came up with diffrerent ones I liked. It involved a few days of thought, I didn't want to rush such a decision, but in the end, I was happy with my choices.

Adapt.

OR

Make everyone around you believe you are crazy.

Which did you choose?
