Thats the definition of placeholders.

Once again, its not biowares fault but yours.
From what you said in the OP, you asked them whether deleting a name and then remaking the character and the name would be available.

They confirmed this, which is true.
The issue you have is that they have banned certain names which they are not alllowed to use contractually.
Such as unoriginal names that plagiarize the SW universe. Like Bane. Or Skywalker. Or Solo.

Names they are not copyrighted to use, or allow to use.
Ive just deleted one of my champions with a name, just recreated another one 20 seconds later with the exact same name.

Maybe if you werent so rude to the support, which by the sounds of what you have said to people in this thread, you obviously were. Someone obviously hasnt taught you any manners whatsoever.

I still cant believe you're moaning that you cant name your sith "Bane".
Such a pitiful thing to moan about.
Ah, right.. I get the placeholders concept now. Of course they were. Do you think anyone would ever be able to get THOSE names without taking them right away? What you fail to realize is that names is important to me and they're part of what makes me want to level another character. You may not remember playing with "Fgoffêe", but you're remember meeting Reaper. If I have to explain this to you, then it's not really work the typing.

As for me being rude? Look at the crap you're writing. Does that see friendly to you at all? Gimme a break.

NO one said SGR content should be at the top of the priority list, but eventually you have to get to the bottom of the list

Absolutely NO PROBLEMS.

YOU GOT SCREWED BECAUSE YOU WERE USING A NAME THAT YOU WERE NOT LEGALLY ALLOWED TO USE.
Its like putting your name as "IHateJews" and then wondering "**** WHERES MY NAME".

Read the damn replies people are putting that are telling you why instead of dismissing them because they dont say "*********** BIOWARE ALL NEED TO DIE I AGREE WITH YOU COMPLETELY"
Again, with the blablabla-the-name-blabla...and bla! I got the name in the first place, didn't I? So they decided to add the name their ****list after the latest Batman movie came out, where Bane was a big deal. That's my fault now?

The names in that link are neither iconic or epic, they are just a bunch of overused and very unimaginative names that you should have expected to lose when moving servers. It does suck to lose a name you have grown accustomed to using, but coming up with something new and original isn't really that difficult.
I'm curious as to what you consider iconic or epic.
"It's now very common to hear people say, 'I'm rather offended by that.' As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more...than a whine. 'I find that offensive.' It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that.' Well, so *********** what." - Stephen Fry

OK... so blablabla you prefer blablabla. Did Bioware ever lie to you to the point where you deleted a character after being ensured that you'd get to keep the name and then you find out the name is invalid and you'll never get it back? No? Then what's your ego-trip response about?

Im only being as rude as you were to me originally.
Ive been very civil up to this point.

Once again then, lets try this.
What gives you the RIGHT to pick 8 names that you "like" when you arent planning to play any of them till your first 50 is complete?

What about other people that might want to play a class with one of the names you currently have growing dust on a lvl1?
And yes, i'd remember meeting Reaper just because of a name?
Grow the hell up.

Its the deeds we do in the game that define us, not the names we choose for ourselves.
You know who i remember? Raaz, PonyBoyGoblin, Annekin, Jaidar, Anthony, Phatina, Xenos, Kiera. I could go on.
None of them have names like "Ravage" and "Titan".

But the ONE THING i remember from this game?
Was being part of the FIRST RECORDED Group taking down SD-0 on Coruscant, in the first 36 Hours of early access.
I barely play with any of them anymore, ive not even thought about them until this thread but thats what i remember.
People that made an impact on my gameplay by being players that were polite, got together and actually accomplish something.

What gives me the right to take all those names? Pre-ordering the Collector's Edition for early access. I paid for it.

That doesnt give you the right to the names.
That gives you the right to have an early access and some extra bonus stuff in game.

So I got over myself quickly, put some more thought into it, and came up with diffrerent ones I liked. It involved a few days of thought, I didn't want to rush such a decision, but in the end, I was happy with my choices.

Adapt.

OR

Make everyone around you believe you are crazy.

Which did you choose?
Sarcastic, lecturing, patronizing... can we be best friends forever and ever from now on?
