So, once your Green characters merge over, you could potentially have 16 characters on your account, and you'd potentially need to delete up to 8 of them to access the other 8.

But also, this is quite literally 4+ years off, and regardless of anything the staff has said they might decide to do something entirely different by then.

On live if you had too many characters you could scroll through the excess with the up and down keys.

Oh interesting. I didn't know that could even happen on live, but I guess once they started merging servers it had to come up ...

Yeah that's not going to happen IMO. Banned names were banned for a reason, we don't need bad rep rmt scam ninja looter names coming back.

well as far as I know people that have been banned can create another account and still play

This is very sad for people taking a hiatus from the game. Many of us dont even have the current server files to log in our chars. Please rethink.

I actually logged in a couple other people's characters for this reason.

Cool move. I think likely generally appreciated, and fair.

I've been in this camp. But - if you are aware that its upcoming and have been around since 2010, and were a member of at least one prominent guild, it's likely someone you know can help you out here. It sucks for those who are NOT aware, but the focus now might should be on people who have a part in the future of the project. If you were one of those people holding multiple high plat items on mules and have stopped paying attention.. well, shit :p

I don't know. Feels pretty weird. just to free up some names we are gonna risk deleting someone's hard work? Hrmmm. plenty of people come and go over the years, completely detached from anything related to P99/EQ for months to years but come back again eventually. I suppose it might be too time consuming for you guys to code in some kind of name changing thing, where the character is simply tagged with something like xxx at the end of their name if they would otherwise be wiped?

Ya I suppose but curious how that will work out if they do merge green with blue.
