To all the naysayers. I would like to remind you that a system is in place already that forces you to stay active or else you lose the house you invested millions of gils in. I find it to be hypocrisy to refuse such an idea when the kicking system for housing was praised when implemented.

In my opinion, I think it would be fair. You have one already with the housing so why not add one for names and further enchain the players to the game? Myeah? I think, though, that a reasonable amount of time, say a year, is beyond enough to flag you as an inactive player making a system add some random letters at the end of your name and offer you a free name change upon your return.
