View Full Version : How many names are you 'sitting on' ?

Tried to make myself a new character earlier. So many names rejected, including some alternate spellings of the same name to the point where you'd be double-voweling 2-3 times to get it through :rolleyes:

So I wondered, do any of you have a stack of names you're sitting on til you 'get around' to using them? If so, how many and how good are they? ^^

I have two names named after famous characters in everquest. They are probably not allowed in the long term. Im not sure what to do with them so all I use them for is an occasional transfer or item hold ;p

Better question: How many names were being used/sat on, but are now on banned accounts?

Any way we could get the names back for level 1's on banned accounts, after X amount of time?

I've also had trouble finding a name that is unique, even when coming up with my own name.

I wonder what percentage of accounts have been active within the last year? How big is the p99 population that is retired?

On live, I though unused level 1 characters were somewhat regularly purged. I realize this may not be a simple task though.

Yeah I've got one character that probably wouldn't survive long in EC without having a forced name change. Some of the best NPCs need to be recognized though.

Anyone remember "Haddan" who'd appear at Hadden's spawn point (complete with fishing pole) and give anyone camping him a wave? :D

Think of the amount of unused manastones, guises and other tasty pixels lost to inactivity :(

What's wrong with the the name the generator gave my human female paladin, Lothlgorny. It is so bad I had to take it. :D

I did have Aeiouuoiea for a high elf, I deleted it to make space, that's a play on the name generator... it does throw out some ridiculous ones.

It is seriously time for a name purge. I’ve been trying to make a new character the last 3 days myself and I’ve easily tried over 30 names, even with alternate spellings, all rejected. And no I wasn’t trying Legolas or Willow lol.

Consonants are optional with high elf names :)

Lance
10-21-2018, 11:52 AM
I've been sitting on the names "Lance", "Darien", "Blade", "Pierce", "Chance", couple others.

Blade was an Iksar Warrior, then a Ranger, then an Erudite SK, who knows what he is now.

Chance is my Enchanter main now, the rest are just sitting there. My goal was to sell some for plat or something, but thinking of the logistics of that and how I'd probably get turbo scammed changed my mind lol. Now they're just potential future heroes.
