Character limit across all servers

Way to write an entire essay without addressing the main point ofs my post. You can have an imagination. Heck, you can even have a particular affinity to a certain name(s). That's your right and I never commented about that. My point was this; Do you realistically believe that you will get to playing 100, 200 or however many characters that you have reserved names for? If you don't even believe that you will then all of your "imagination" is all for naught and is frankly, rather frivalous.

Also, riddle me this. When the day that you quit SWTOR actually comes (and it is inevitable), do you still think that you have some sort of "right" to those names? Would the "right" of an inactive subscriber to reserve a bunch of names trump that of those who remained active? Will you be considerate enough to go and delete all of your placeholder characters before you unsub? At that point, this topic would have crossed over into the realm of selfishness and lack of foresight.

No, that's not the right question.

Do you realistically believe that you will get to playing any of those 100, 200 or however many characters that you have reserved names for? If the answer is yes, it's not for naught and not frivolous

So? It's so cheap now that it might as well be.

No, they really don't; it's still pretty tiny.

No, it is the *only* question that matters here.

The mentality you espoused is similar to those who register 100 WWW addresses, hoping for the off chance of using or profiting off one or a few of them some day.

When did they impose this? I'm sure I am not the only one who locked out a name across all severs. Now I would need to delete 80+ characters to roll some legacy inspired toon. Might be fewer key strokes just to cancel the account.

Anyone else seeing this?

Cheap still isn't free. And technically, as of right now it's more expensive than it's been in almost 10 years.

Even tiny records can take up a lot of storage space when there are millions of them.

I should have expected non constructive posts, but I was hoping for at least one to commiserate with. What bothers me about this is the sparse end game leaves few options to to actually be able to do anything, and the legacy push is all about making alternate characters. EA just threw a road block to doing anything with legacy for me, abit an entirely reasonable one.

Simply amazing.

People thought i was going overboard, when in wow when I left my original server, I created a char to hold the name on that realm in case i ever decided to come back to it.

Eventually though, I realized that reserving a name on a realm you have no intention on playing is just about as useful as wearing sunglasses at night.

I have 187 characters on CoH and I have played every single one of them. Sure, I didn't play them all to max level, but for some of us getting to max level isn't the end all be all of the freaking game.
