Well, maybe "cool" wasn't the right word. I mean that there are a lot of names that, while admittedly cliche, are popular and appropriate to the genre. Whereas names like "Ipwnu" or "shammyhealz" are just as quickly snapped up but qualitatively different IMHO.

Besides, the Star Wars universe uses a lot of given names and cliche sounding last names, and these are often the first to go. The fact that someone loses both their character and legacy name when they name their character something like "Max Starstorm" doesn't mean someone who was able to hold onto "Geiss Z'endarr" through the transfer should mock them for being uncreative and unoriginal with their names. People don't name their characters with server transfers 6 months later in mind. That's all I'm saying.

its not like you were solving differential equations in order to make a character..its hit and miss.

the legacy yes i agree with.. you had to work to get that, Id have liked to see a more stable way for people to keep legacies..

but remember ..if you had to work your butt off to get a legacy name... someone else had to as well. and by your admission, you really couldnt care how much work someone else put in to get THE same legacy name on THEIR server.. only that you lost yours..


the problem isnt that people lost names, they did, tis unfortunite. it sucks and i am about 90% sure i will lose all of my names and my legacy name whenever i FINALLY get a transfer..

but the problem is that people are not considering that this OTHER person that took YOUR name, had it on a seperate server, and got lucky, roll of the dice lucky... it isnt there fault, but you are trying to basically make them take the burn instead of you

i wish bioware could have come up with a more 'fair' way to sort out the naming convention for transfers, but sadly this is the way they decided to go.

it isnt the best system, but its the only system we have.
Names in any game are a big part of my ingame identity, to some it might seem strange but I see games as an escape and have high value on my main names

As I said in the other thread, my heart tells me "RAAAAAAAAAGE" but my brains tells me "Well **** me.... damn "
In the end liek you said, its the only system we got and we have to live with it. All Im pissed about is my main since I really really love the name and everyone in the guild knows me by it

Perhaps a duel to the death would be an appropiate solution lol

Sadly, I lost my names too. Names ive never had a problem with. I swear, Bioware sent me to the worse server possible, lost all the names I liked, including my Legacy. To make things worse it was taken by a level 25 Republic dude. REALLY wish I was in a pvp server now....

P.S. Atleast I was able to replace my mains name with a shorter version of it ... which everyone called me by anyway.

Four so far. Was able to keep my legacy though. Now let's see what happens when they free Tarro Blood.
50 Marauder, Sentinel, Vanguard, Mercenary, Juggernaut

It's a long way back to Grandville, but these wonderful devs keep updating my GPS...

1 out of 5, Good thing It was some name I just came up and didn't care much for it so good for me
I don't know If somebody had taken my previous legacy name but I decided to create little better one.

I only lost my Legacy name, which was a little disappointing, but it was something I expected to happen. Luckily, my 3 character names where quite obscure and weren't taken.

Legacy name stayed but I lost all 4 of my toons names. And I'm not happy with the way I changed my mains name. Ahh well what can ya do. Still worth it I think. I pvp'd last night for hours on my 50. First time in a while I could do that.

Lost only 2 of 6 and got to keep my legacy name (Bondar Crystal to Pot5).

Regretfully one of the names I lost was my main...was a bit of a surprise since this is the first time in 12 years of MMO playing that I find someone else with that name...ohh well i'll have to come up with a new name or turn any other of my toons into "my main"

None. I was acually planning what the new names would be and then i didn't even have to change one. lol

Legacy Name was taken though D: But just used the one i have on my other server and it was free

Excellent time to transfer though. Didn't even have time to make a que of transfers and wait. each one was done b4 i got the next one ready.
