I think they should save names for any lvl 60 on blue. Those lvl 60 names can be re-created on green from the same account.

Nah, better idea is to require two level 60s. That way my proposal will screw you, just like your proposal screws over people with level 59s.

The goal is not to screw anyone over. It's to free up names not being used and also allow people to keep their main characters. I said lvl 60 in my suggestion because it seemed to me that anyone leveling up to 60 is likely a main or well established character on the server. Even making it 50+ it'd still make a dent in the humongous list of banked ghost names. You said two lvl 60s just to try and be a dick.

This would screw over anyone without a lvl 60. Lots of folks been here for ages without dinging max level like yourself for many years(as I can remember from your sig, you just recently dinged 60). Even though your char is not 60 it can still be your beloved main.

Fair point, I agree. Someone could have characters they care about, or main, that are below lvl 60. This discussion/petition is primarily focused on a brand new servers naming policy. I stress the words brand new.So in order to gain the privilege to have a name reserved on this brand new server, I feel like having characters hit either 50 or 60 isn't really asking that much for a server thats been out 10+ years. Sure, I'll lose out on all of my alt names by the power of my own suggested policy but I think that's fair. It really would be an awful thing to force this incredible brand new server to carry over every single blue name with it.

You don't even need to delete the characters on blue! Just don't let the name transfer over to green. Then that gives you a couple years to do a banked and unplayed character purge plan on blue before all the new green names try to slam back into blue.

Wipe the rest.

This simultaneously eliminates banked names on ghost accounts AS WELL AS allow well known and established blue p99 players the ability to keep their identity, and names, of their main characters.

Just my 2cp

That's a pretty good compromise Evia.

Totally happy about the launch and great job staff!! However, I agree that the naming policy as I understand it is going to be problematic. It is really hard to come up with a good name on Blue as it is. I love seeing lore appropriate names but it is so hard to come up with one that isn't taken.

I can see wanting to let long time players keep their blue name but I am hoping you can limit it in someway to free up a whole bunch of names. Maybe something like limiting it to level 60 or level 50 plus characters with some recent play time or something along those lines.

Thanks again for all your hard work and will definitely be seeing you next month!
