    If they do another merger, they really need to make it so no one has to change their name unless there's two active players with the same name. No one should be forced to change just because someone gave their 11 year old retired mule the same name.

    To me that's only acceptable for level 1 characters only.

    I would say they should base it on last login date. I too lost my original name during the first server merge years ago. Haven't ever seen the name logged in or anything on ffxiah.com ever. Bummer

    Moot point. It's been stated several times that the way the coding works, target servers get name priority. Very sad, so sorry, ain't changing. And since my server won't be a target in a merge, I am terrified of losing any of my names. Eight of them were very carefully thought out.

    Don't wish. Don't start.

    Not sure why you quoted me, I don't want it to change at all, I was just trying to slightly compromise.

    I don't want anyone to have their name deleted/stolen because of something they couldn't have predicted, even if they were inactive. level 1 mules are acceptable only because people don't and aren't and won't actually play with them and probably didn't put thought into the names. And there are a LOT of level 1 mules.

    I like my level 1 mule's names... but as long as we were given time to level them to 2 to keep their names, I'd be cool

    Wonder how hard it would be for SE to implement cross-server stuff common in other games now. This could potentially help alleviate some of the hardships in forming groups for certain content or sales without having to worry about open world stuff and things like dyna being more of a mess then it already is.

    for events in the newer expansions where dedicated servers handle the zones (e.g. salvage areas, and WOTG battle areas which play host to quests, meeble burrows, maze mongers, etc) this would probably work. For the regular battlefield areas and places like walk of echoes etc. it wouldn't work without a total revamp.
