People taking character names with no intention of using

[Aristotle]

A lot of MMOs do change character names if they are inactive for a certain amount of time and tack a garbage string to the end. (Squall_39uwe for example.) The next time you log in, it prompts you to change it. The difference between them and FFXIV is they don't have a last name system. It's much easier to have a name you like on XIV because of this and I think that's a fair trade. I'd rather know my character will keep his name without having to worry about logging in.
