Solution to the name controversy.

[slowpoke68]

Right now the poll on this issue stands at 61 no name reservations to 59 yes name reservations on Green.

Again, it is the Dev's server, they have been the ones to put in all the work, so they can decide whatever they want on this issue. To quote Jeor Mormont, "your roof, your rules".

However, as I understand it, the touchstone for policy in this project has always been whether something is classic or not.

Unless I am wrong on my history, nothing could possibly be less classic than allowing people to keep their names from beta or transfer them from one server to a new server. With that in mind I hope the devs change their mind on names from Blue being reserved on Green. I say no name reservations at all is the only classic thing to do.

If you do go the non-classic route I suggest that you at least do it right. I would suggest that if people want to keep their names from Blue to use on Green, you should charge for it and use the proceeds to help with hardware/maintenance costs.

I think $40.00 US for the privilege of reserving up to eight names on Green would be more than reasonable. Also, I'm sure that people who have been around for ever and who are "famous", have put so many hours into the game that they would be more than happy to make such a donation.

It is really a win/win for everyone.

Anyways, last word from me on the subject. Pretty much anything else I could do would be a better use of my time than engaging in forum pvp over the naming policy on a new server for a 20 year old game. When I find myself arguing on forums I know it is time for me to check my priorities. Taking a break from all things gaming until about 10/15.

Will see you guys back then and I am really looking forward to Green what ever the Devs decide [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
