Unfortunately, just because you think something is "silly" does not mean it takes away from the significance of names to some people, such as myself. I have a personal attachment to my main character's name that goes well beyond what I'd like to describe on a public forum. When we were told about these naming restrictions prior to launch, I was upset by the fact that we couldn't make two worded names, etc, but I still had my ONE name I wanted, which I reserved, that I use/have used in multiple games and have reinforced an already strong connection with. Forcing an added part to your name because there isn't any creative depth to solving this issue, seems sloppy and a punch in the face to people who DON'T want to change their name, or others like myself who have grown attached to the name they currently have. I'm not a stickler about a lot of things in this genre, at ALL, but this immersion for me is something that I enjoy and don't want meddled with because they're not willing to listen to the many many many suggestions placed on these forums. Oh, and just because you may not understand why it is that people become attached to their names, does not give you free reign to label it as "silly" and go at people telling them their wrong for feeling that way. Because that's "silly". Quite frankly, I don't care about your ability to work with whatever amount of surnames are required. Just because you don't see something as an issue, doesn't mean it's not an issue. I can use imagination for other names on OTHER characters. This one though, because of the name, has meaning to me and I don't want it tampered with. Also, this is a feedback thread, we get you don't like people advocating for a different solution, but try (keyword here) to understand that these threads don't revolve around you and your ability to move along because this change doesn't inconvenience you. We get that you are okay with them, move along. State your feedback and be constructive instead of trying to convince people who will not be convinced that this issue isn't an issue.

I only read about PvP -> PvE But I really hope they make both, even if it's only for the free transfer before megaserver, just allow us to switch to PvP too, so we don't have to reroll every char :(

Tbh we must just say thanks for giving us the right to play as intended (at last) in populated  servers instead of ghost towns. At least until megaservers arrive. So, thx :)

I doubt it, probably end up being in the order of the server name then current character order on that server. I like order by last login myself

The problem with being able to disable your surname is that if i as an Exile find a dominion player out in the open World called Bobby (his normal nickname is Bobby One but he disabled his surname) and he ganks me repeatedly while im trying to farm. I then remember this "Bobby" because he is my new nemesis. A few hours or perhaps days later i find Bobby in the open world and i gank the living crap out of him. Sadly tho this Bobby is "Bobby Two" a second Bobby player who disabled his surname... not the same guy and i have just pounced on some poor fellow who didnt do me any harm at all. I know its a weak argument but being able to disable surnames will lead to confusion when running into people whom you think you know but actually its just a person with the same first name as someone you know and both disabled their surname.

For the 23rd time, you will be able to change your entire name when the Megaservers launch, not just add a surname to your existing first name. However you wont be forced to change your first name... I can still be Juddy Grant... but i can also be Mona Lisa if i rather prefer that.

heres a great reason. Have you ever played on a over populated server and tried to get a name? Imagine a mega server... unless your name is OVERLY creative and unique and you have never shared it with a single soul and are lucky enough that you are the only person playing the game ( ever ) to think of that name... you probably wont get it. Adding the last name allows a much greater chance you will get the name you want. it allows for a much much smaller chance of not getting a name. With so many players being thrown together there are bound to have the same names here and there... so who gets to keep theirs? how is that fair? we already did head start with name reservations... This is the only fair way. moderator edit: content

Um... not seeing the problem here. So folks switch to another shard to get their atunement done. Don't you have enough speed bumps and roadblocks on that road already? And as to resources, is there some dearth of harvesting nodes anywhere in this game? I can't take three steps without tripping over something to shoot, loot or harvest. Just put a nice long cooldown on the shard switching and you'd mitigate this. Point being, by implementing phasing/sharding with no ability for the player to steer it, you prevent roleplayers form doing the one thing that makes their game play style exist... interacting with other roleplayers. Look at SWTOR, please. They have this sort of phasing control and it works just fine.

You should keep all currency. The usual restrictions won't be in place when we move folks to the megaserver.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Even if you just discuss it, it's good to know that it's been acknoledged. You can have the whole bag of cookies if you want :D

I really don't see how anyone can have a problem with this, other than a childish "BUT I DON'T WANNA!!!!!!" rant. Having Megaservers will create problems, this is very much the least of them.
