All characters will transfer to megaserver. You just won't be able to create another until you have less than 12.

Yes, all characters will be saved, you just won't be able to make more once you have 12. If you want more, make them now on other PVE servers so they are there after the merge.

Couldn't agree more. They take action to address issues people have been whining about and then they just whine again. Just wanna say thank you to Carbine staff. Really appreciate the upcoming changes (rune changes etc), shows you guys are actually listening. Also quick ETA on the server changes  :D

Thank you for the feedback. I do like the option of being able to have: Bob (no last name) Bob Smith Bob Where Provided (no last name) can also exist as an option in the surnames. Some names (longer ones or more unique ones) just look/feel better without a surname and at the same time some others will indeed benefit from having a lastname. I personally look forward in renaming my human characters with surnames, but my friend who mains a Granok will not be happy having to rethink everything. Making the lastname optional at least gives a chance to many players to keep their unique name, while others (like me who have 'Jim') will use a surname to keep it or rename to something different (with or without a surname). Btw..How easily will the last names work with whispers? /w Bob Where Where are you guys? Also, do last names get the ability to have spaces between the words? (please yes).. how will that work for someone named 'Bob Where Are You'? /w Bob Where Are You Where are you guys? Ideally making writting a surname optional might make more sense but I am not a programmer so I have no idea how it actually works. I just know I would really like it to. :)

I'm fairly certain that the silent majority of players have no problems with the upcomming namechanges.

{| style="width: 100%;" Q 7. What happens if two guilds from different realms have the same name?The oldest guild with an active guild leader will keep the name. All the other guilds with the same name will have something added to their name to make it temporarily unique. We will give more information about how to change your guild name in due course.

=
=================== So, assuming the "total including the space must be 30 characters" means we can have first name only.... why can't we use the above policy for also reserving the first name only character names??? I mean, part of why I pre ordered was for the shot at reserving a name, which only I have on all NA servers for the name I fought for during the beta name reserve.... so .... ya.

Did you buy one preorder per server to make sure you were the only person with your name? :D

I like this and I would be glad if they dont force us to use "two word" names. Megaserver: The problem I have with megaservers are: They may be a good solution for NA but not for EU. If i see a player in the world i want to talk to them. I dont want to figure out if he speaks my language. Im glad with the servermerges and hope the megaservers need a long time to hit (crush) the live realms.

And I'm wondering if this is the reason they found so many name conflicts in their search. Dev's, did you check if the duplicate names belonged to the same person?

So if there are lets say 10 servers. Each server has 1000 players. And for the fun of it lets say each one of these servers has the same names. That would leave 1000 players who get to keep their nickname and 9000 players who will have to change theirs. What should Carbine do... cater to the 1000 people who feel entitle to their nicknames because they were first #kid #in #a #sandbox #logic "i was playing here first" or make it the same for everyone?

I actually see where you are comming from with this and I agree with the actions that benefit us as players in having good options and not losing our names. Sadly however this does not apply to everyone. Not all of the 9000 people want to steal the same alpha name like Lisa or Peter.. what happens to characters with unique names (that the players have made into EVERY server to maintain their identity for whatever reason, blogs, live-feeds, journals, youtube, previous gaming history etc)? i.e. http://dulfy.net/category/wildstar/ I love reading Dulfy and in all honesty, her guides have kept me sane while gathering journals and comics. The server merges are a blessing for people who are not part of a large guild or a good group of friends and are trying to meet up more people, nobody will deny that. As it was already mentioned, it should be done tactfully and with care taking into consideration what would benefit the game in the long run and the majority of the playerbase. Saying this however, I will underline that while a double name can be good, a forced double name can become really tasteless in the long run. Especially when there are already titles in the game. Lisa The Wise The Scholar being a quick example that comes in mind.
