How is this fair? Explain your logic.

You were extremely defensive with me earlier, despite the fact that I have not once stated a disagreement with your conclusions, only your method of debate, and have asked for a presentation of logic.

Pot meet kettle.

Could it be that you don't have logical reasoning to support your desire? And have to resort to personal attacks?

Is your man cave where you hoard all those names on your level 31 alts?

Exactly how is that fair for everyone? It sounds like a terrible idea for several reasons. No one is going to want to feel like they have to play and level fast or their name can be taken. Whats the full potential? I'll tell you...nothing. Its a game. The potential for any character is just what the player wants it to be, period. If the character is only used as a crafting/gathering mule for the player than that's what the potential is....and that's no reason for the reset. Unless you can elaborate on how that idea is fair to everyone.

Actually, you're sounding defensive, man. Again, if he has characters on every single server with the same name its not unfair, unjust or holding them hostage. Those rules apply to you, me and everyone else. You might not like it but that's really just your opinion. I don't particularly like characters with stupid names but as long as its not an offensive name its just my opinion....and I admit I don't have the right to say "Any name that doesn't fit my criteria should be reset in ten days!". You keep using terms that make no sense. Whats 'put to good use' in reference to the name of an avatar in a computer game? There are literally more potential names one can make up for a character than the game will ever ever use.

1.) You can make characters on multiple servers with the same character name
2.) You are currently not required to level that character or play it any time limit. That probably will not change unless there is another server merge.
3.) If the character is above level 30 the name change will not affect it.

I don't see anything wrong with those rules. If you do you'll have to elaborate on why without using words like "unjust', 'unfair' 'greedy' or 'holding hostage'. Because they don't apply.

its not right that you have 2 cars sitting around gathering dust while using another. ill just put these 2 to good use. it isnt stealing....

Your suggestions would only be fair to you. I recently took a break for a month. At the time I had no level 50s. So I should lose the names that I thought up/chose? What rubbish.

Naw, its where I hoard all of my comic books and sci-fi memorabilia as well as my sword collection! Sadly a lot of my things were destroyed when a tornado tore the house apart in 2011. (you may have seen it on the news. I live in Fayetteville, NC nxt to Ft. Bragg. The one time in a century when a tornado hits here, it hits MY house directly!)

Fortunatelly some of my things were salvaged from the wreckage. Including my "Lost in Space" Robot that says "Danger!@ Danger!" if you touch it....oh, and my Ultraman figurine. The guys at Fort Campbell gave that to me when I left there after Desert Storm so it has a lot of sentimental value to me.

I only keep 14 alts...

I'm sorry you went through that. I'm in the UK but I remember that tornado being mentioned on the news over here. I can't imagine having to deal with that.

I've been thinking about switching up for awhile...you know, try another game for a bit, come back later to SWTOR. I do that every so often to keep from burning out on one game or the other. I usually check in game B even when playing Game A , but time can go by fast. By the criteria mentioned I'd have any character under 50 lose their names if I did that. That's why I don't think the OP thought this through. I can only speak for myself but I don't think I'm the only person that does that.

Lol...in your post that I quoted when you wrote "What rubbish" I thought "He(or she, I don't know your gender) must be a brit.".

Yeah, thee tornado sucked, but the reason I can't be sad about it is this...we were in the house! We literally saw it blown apart while we hunkered down under a desk....and me the wife and our 4 cats all survived. One of them was lost for a few hours...we thought she had been scooped up and blown away...but we found her unharmed under some debris. The entire place was destroyed, including both cars. But heck, we lived, and even the rescue workers said we should have all been killed. Really made me think Heavan may be looking out for us....and our insurance allowed us to replace everything and get a newer house rebuilt on the same lot.

I've always wanted to visit the UK. Been to a lot of places in Europe but never made it there. Being a big fan of old school British comedy and TV shows (I was hooked on "Eastenders" for a long time in the 90s and Red Dwarf) its been on my bucket list. Plus I've always wanted to see the Tower of London and Stonehenge. I've got a few NATO former coworkers and an old girlfriend I keep in touch with there. I should probably ask if one of them can put me up for a bit.

Glad you were all ok.

I'm a she. You know, I've never visited any of those sites either. They're on my list too. I haven't actually seen a lot of my own country. I also love Red Dwarf. Me and my best friends in school all bonded over that, The Young Ones and Bottom.
