My names are never used, and I draw my names from the actual species languages in some cases, and in others I've used for years in several MMOs and no one's used them, for some reason. I like it.

I didn't lose the one character name I wanted to keep and I actually self inflicted some forced renames on a few of my characters, so I'm actually pretty happy. I even got to keep my Legacy name. But I feel for those that had to change, I am attached to a name and would have been sad if I lost it. Not game breaking sad, but bummed for sure.

Lost my legacy name too.

So, effectively, while not the major reason to cancel my subscription, it was certainly the straw that broke the camel's back. It wasn't the name itself: It was the work, effort, and time spent getting to a legacy name, only to have to transfer and lose that name.

Am I alone in feeling that way?
Nope your certainly are not alone, many of us feel betrayed since they should of done something with the naming policy system before they even introduced transfers. It is very limited, therefore flawed, my story is meaningless now because of this, not only did I loose my in-game username but my legacy name as well, both need to be resolved especially with the players that have stuck around since launch, we have paid our dues and deserve to have those names restored to us.

I lost two.

My friend lost not only her legacy, but 7 of her 8 names. Ironically, the one that kept her name was some obscure name from Kotor 2... go figures.

I was lucky, I kept the names that were lost by changing them ever so slightly. Still. Annoying.

I lost bellicose and ruhn

of all my names I thought those the least likely to be taken but disapointing still. I have had those characters since launch and like their names. I did get to keep my main

oh well
Just go riding right by me on the crest of the new wave

Now to spend an hour on each trying to think of better ones, and a legacy to match.

Edit: For the record, I'm not bitter or in any way blaming Bioware. Just a little sad, which is outweighed by the fact I'll (hopefully) have a decent WZ pop rate at any time of the day.

Edit 2: Get off your high horses about original names. You know the real reason your name wasn't taken? It's either because a), you're lucky, or b) the name is terrible.

No matter how original you think your name is, if its pronouncable, someone else has used it at some point throughout history.
I lost 16 names and 2 legacy names and it DOES TICK ME OFF. As for you high horses telling ppl to get over it such gall, what your names must be moron1..2..3 etc...

We agree the time to stop the money for this game is now. Just the shallow way they refused to alert us...and I did ask in a post here (which they deleted) We lost 4 legacy and 31 names (sith on one server jedi on another each 2 toons).

I've really really really R E A L L Y tried with this company, however I've had it...when our subscriptions run out I'm gone.
