My husband lost his character name in the merge from Ramuh to Bahamut, the character who had his name hadn't any transactions on FFXIAH since 2007 >.> Perhaps there would be a way for names that are duplicated to go to the first account that is logged in after the merge, so that only active accounts get priority... Might be a bit difficult to implement though. Really, I think that anyone who transfers in to a server should get a chance to appeal to get priority on a name if the other person with that name has been inactive for a long enough time, be it banned, someone's mule, or simply deactivated.
