Screwed over by Bioware!

Think theres a lot of us out there still a little sore about this issue to be honest. Lost my mains name ( 5O Marauder ) to a fresh toon whom has since disappeared leaving it attached to a lvl 30 toon that is no longer played. thats friggin infuriating

Has anyone ever told you, that you are a very rude person?
So people dont agree with you. Big woop, grow the hell up.

And Bane? OH MY GOD. Did you think of that yourself?
Its not a "Cool" name. Its already been done, thought of and worked through.

Wanna talk about "Cool" names?
I had America for my trooper, thats right. "Captain" America.
Scully was my IA. You guessed it, "Agent" Scully.
I had a Character size 4 Guardian. Completely green Twi, called "Hulk".

These are just a number of names with characters that were all between levels 40-50 when i stopped playing just after server merges.
Your "Placeholders" were all pre level 10

And honestly, im coming from where you came from.
Part of the reason i preordered was to try to get hold of names for toons.
Some like the ones above that were a bit funny, one was just my first name. Another was the name ive been known through every MMO ive ever played.

Then less than a year later after having made these characters, i was moved servers and had to rename them all (Minus my main one).
Was i upset? Yes.
Did i understand why the servers had to merge? Yes.

I'd much rather a game full of people than being sat on my own in my own little server going "Oooo, Look at my pretty names".

And as people have said, if you preordered this game just to preserve names. Issues man. Issues.

I'd like to send you a 7 page fax right now, and the first page would just have a big "F" on it. First of all, you don't know anything. That screenshot was taken when my first character hit 50. I level up fast and I was looking forward to leveling each and every one of them. Placeholders? What a concept. I tailored each and every one of my characters, except I made the mistake of making a Guardian and a Sith Warrior before I knew they were actually clones, as pathetic as that is. It's not like they tell you in the character creation. Once I realized, I wanted to reroll my Sith Warrior into a Marauder so that I could try the "other" advanced class, and that's when I lose Bane... becaue Bioware lied to me. Did you not quite understand the point of this thread?

Bioware did not lie to you, nor did they screw you over. Anytime there is a server merge there is always the chance of losing a character name or two, or eight. You should have been better prepared by coming up with other names just in case you had to change any.

What happened with the last you tried to keep sucks, but that kind of things happens a lot in life. People make mistakes. BW did not intentially lie. They made a mistake. Come up with a new name and move on or unsub. We all knew the merges were coming. I was worried I might lose a few names, so I was prepared to change them with names I was sure nobody else would have used. I was lucky, I didn't have to change a single letter. I was ready to do so if need be, however.

As you put it in your first sentance... these names were important to me. And don't tell me you wouldn't want to have a character named "Darth Doom" or "Captain Maverick" etc.

Oh blablabla, better names, bla. As with most people responding to this thread, you completely fail to realize the point of it.

WHEN CUSTOMER SERVICE TELLS YOU SOMTHING THAT CAUSES YOU TO DELETE A CHARACTER, WHICH IN TURN CAUSES YOU TO LOSE YOUR NAME PERMANENTLY WITHOUT ANY CHANCE OF GETTING IT BACK... YOU GOT SCREWED OVER BY A LIE! BEFORE YOU MAKE AN EVEN BIGGER *** OF YOURSELF, READ THE WHOLE THREAD AND NOT JUST THE ORIGINAL POST BEFORE YOU SIMPLY PUT IN YOUR 2 CENTS AND A HOLLOW, POINTLESS OPPIONION!
