I don't think forcing last names is as much a problem as switching to a system that forces them (or anything forcing you to change your name, really) after creation is. I never planned on any of my characters as having last names, although I was able to come up with suitable last names. I never use MadBlue as a character name, though. That's my online persona. I use it in forums and in games where I'm identified as a player (like in multiplayer FPS games) but not games where I'm playing as a character inhabiting a world.

The Secret World: Forced 3 names per character. First, Middle, Last. The middle name was the only one that showed up in all chats.

Well, that was my main point earlier. It's not so much the 2-name thing as the forcing a change after having to battle it out for names. If Wildstar had launched with first and last names, a lot of people would have just rolled with it and created characters designed to use two names. Frankly, I don't understand why they're switching now. Back in beta, they had numbers, then they took away numbers and made accented characters parse the same way as non-accented characters, reducing the names to using A-Z. They really should have foreseen this problem - especially since they're claiming that they had always planned on megaservers. Not that I don't think that's spin, but, back in beta, many of us were suggesting that they go with a naming system that ensures that players don't have to change their character names in event of a possible merge, such as a unique first-last name combination or optional spaces in names, that would be unique across the game, and we were told that spaces and last names would be too confusing for players in chat.

Ell Ohh freaking Ell. If it wasn't an announced benefit, how the did everyone find out about it? Because it WAS an announced benefit for pre-ordering. http://www.wildstarforums.com/news/27677-wildstar-news-pre-orders-are-now-open Not that it really means anything at this point, but at least try to have a grip on reality.

Thanks for the quick reply. I will assume that includes the 30 gift Boom Boxes.

I would think it means player who perform 4 or more hours a day of physical activity. And no playing Wildstar doesn't count :P

I misread this and was madly rushing to level all my lowbies to 3 (facepalm)
