I lost 5 out of my 6 names, and i am happy with that as i got to rename all my characters and legacy. Now i can have a meaningful legacy with some fun names nobody ever thought to take on the new big server.

I had to rename 5 out of 8, but was prepared for that and even though I wasn't happy about it, it wasn't too big of a deal. Better than staying on a slowly dying server and getting to keep my names.

Only lost one name... my Legacy name.

While I once was the Soulreaver Legacy, I am now the Soul-reaver Legacy. Looks bad but I was attached to the name.

I even tried Soulreaper and Souleater first but both were gone.

Waited and waited for weekend and result is this. Our server was last to transfer to Red Ecplise. That also ment we got screwed big time here with names being taken by other trasnfers before us. "Big thx to Bioware" for that policy.

Second i lost 4 names and my level 43 legacy name i had since early access first wave in my server. I will never forget how Bioware handled this "merge" and it will never be same again in new server with new name if i choose to pick new. The experience i had since launch got ruined - no its not just name its the priceless part of getting good feeling since i started playing TOR the way i wanted.

Will see what near future brings, but im defenetly gutted how Bioware treating sever populations like sheeps because We got no choice and also no say on this matter. Ether take the pain pill or leave game because Bioware nkew they screwed by naming system and with merges they went easy way out by doing sheep copying, its your own fault you ended up on low population server via Bioware own guilds placements before early access...

I will say this. Video games have a business side as well as the creative side. This is necessary to function and only time will tell what the future of the game is.

Thankfully, I only lost 1 of 6 names. I did, however, lose my Legacy name!

No one forced you to move. That's an awful lot of crying for a self inflicted wound.

None, and my names are not unique, but apparently are not popular even though they are nice names, and they are all nearly the same

Elexi
Elexii
Elexis

Legacy name is Kulden, also wasn't taken.

In all my years I have never had these names ever taken, even when I join an MMO late and pick a high population server.

I find if you name comes from books, anime, cartoons, movies, tv series, there is a good chance that your name will be taken if you do not get it first.
How do you measure the success of an MMO?
