Inactive character names?

[Valkyrie_Lenneth]

I had to use an alternate version for my char, as the name has been taken since early access 1.0, but they are still lvl one. doubt they are ever coming back at this point :P

This is something they won't consider doing until the game is several expansions old, especially given the nature of the game and its naming system. It's only been a year and a half.

I came up with my name on the spot. It means "Fist Roughiron" in my stupid babelfish-speak. And it's awesome. Pretty sure I didn't see anyone with it outside my server when I looked myself up. Lots of mixed Fausts and Eisens and Harts, though.

Point is, for all the names taken that you thought of, there's a bunch that are even cooler than you haven't thought of yet. So snap to it, homes.

for all the names taken that you thought of

Think this is the problem with alot of players - they don't THINK of a name.

They just TAKE it from popular celebrity/anime/game/pop-culture characters and then complain that the name is already taken.

Some of us lack creativity :P And we know it.

Yeah, I steal all my names. I don't bother trying to hide it, I just try to pick ones unlikely to be taken.

That's why I created 8 characters on 2.0 release (well that is just for 1 server lol) when the game launched and reserved all the names I wanted to reserve on a few other servers that I was thinking of playing on.

But for the most part, all my characters names (or the parts of them I use) are originally unique names I've created over the years. Like Rhas is a 'nickname' for the name Rhasphillion that I created and have used many variations in games over the years.

I understand where you are coming from, but in my opinion I feel like if you paid at any point to begin playing the game, they shouldn't clear names. It sucks when there is a name you are dying for that has been sitting on a character untouched for a year, two, or more -- but on the other hand, going back to the game and finding you lost all the names you had created would really piss me off. The only places I've seen that actually wiped inactive names are pet sites and other non-MMO related sites. That and playing certain.. servers with Ragnarok Online experiencing entire wipes and making mad dashes to lock in 16 character names :P

That's just my opinion, though.

SE also allows people to pay for 40 character for 14.99 a month, or 8 characters for 9.99.

the price for 8 characters(Entry Level) is still $12.99 per month.
