Name change? Is it happening?

[DomonKasshu]

Let's say two Domon Kasshu enter NA server 1

Domon Kasshu 1# Made his character Sep 31 2010
Domon Kasshu 2# Made his character Nov 1 2010

Domon Kasshu 1# would be allow to keep his name while 2# would have to change his name.

But i guess if 2# made his char and enter the game few hours later 1# enter that same world. He would be the one that have to change the name.

It's a little weird on how it going to work but what yoshi-p said is the person who made the character first get to keep his name. Looking up your name there 4 other players with the same name. So they may be a chance that a world you enter someone already made there char and you would have to change your name.

This is why is better to come up with a name you enjoy and would use for many games then picking a anime name. There just a higher % that name would be taken.

Also note that when i say made his char first i mean when they made it in 1.0 not when they remake them for 2.0

I agree. To be honest this was a departure from the norm for me because I have a name that I use on all my online games and if my name is taken I'll just revert to that name. I used Domon Kasshu for my name in beta 1.0 and then later found out our names would transfer. When subs started back up I actually remade my character to change the looks a little and just reused the name. I wont be heartbroken if it does have to change I was just more curious than anything to see how it would work. I'm sure the process is going to be well explained when launch comes around.
