I think part of the problem with server merge is dupe names.

On green launch, green and blue DID share a name bank... but the addition of Teal for overflow screwed things a bit. Teal did not share a name bank with Blue, but did share a name bank with green if that even makes sense.

So after teal merged into green, there's a lot of people with names on green who don't own them from blue because they originally made their toons on Teal....

This isn't true???

The character name is tied to your account. So, for instance, if you have the name Chillybob on Blue, then no one on Green or Teal could create that name unless they were doing so on the same account that has the name on Blue.

The staff already explained this. They also said duplicate names will have an X added to the end upon server merge (just like how this was handled on live). This is also what happened upon Green and Teal merge. So if you had used one account to create Chillybob on Blue, then on Green, and also on Teal, when Teal and Green merged you'd have Chillybob and Chillybobx on Green. When Green and Blue eventually merge, you'll now have Chillybob, Chillybobx, and Chillybobxx on the merged Blue.

I really wish people would stop spouting off about duplicate names with false statements like this guy made, when it's already been opined on by the staff and it's a non-issue.
