Would I have to change my name?

If there is a server merger will SE force me to change my name If someone from other Server has it too?

I don't see any other way for them to handle it, so yes, more than likely, you will have to change if you are moving from one server to another.

I don't have any solid details, but for server merges in FFXI you were force to change your name if it already exists. That being said since there is also last name in this game it should be a slim chance for your name to be taken, unless it's something really generic I guess.

I was going to say that, but I did a lodestone search for "Kanade Tachibana" and it actually turned up a surprising number of hits, despite me not knowing where that name comes from.

Yea I did the search as well which is why I brought it up. However when looking at their character profiles they all appear inactive. I don't know if SE will consider this when merging.

There should be some kind of fair way of deciding who had to change.
Like if you had your name first you should be able to keep it.

You should change it to Christopher Walken. Nobody dislikes that guy~!

So basically it'll be the 1.0 servers and the 2.0 servers and no mixing.
Maybe that's a good thing, but i think it's a terrible idea.

Why can't someone have all the answers :(

In those cases where people choose thier names in reference to pop culture icons and or characters, SE hopefully will give preference to active subscribers before inactive accounts.
