    Default Which Igns have you guys reserved already?

    I have over twenty one worded ign reserved, for future use, or for sale.

    Do any of you guys have this habit of hogging good names In a new game?

    Is this your way if advertising? So, how would you even sell a char name? The char is tied to your account.

    Wow you have over twenty, great job making 10 accounts and creating
    10 useless text documents on the host server.
    Trying to make profit off of the game is also cheap.
    Even if it's for ingame items.

    you can delete your character, so basically get paid to delete your character, which I wouldn't buy unless it was like 2 bucks. A waste of time if you ask me!

    I'm assuming the guy actually got each of these names on separate accounts. That way he can just sell the login info. Plus a new account is free, while additional characters on your existing account are not. There's no guarantee that deleting a character will free up the name. Even if it does, it would probably not be immediate, and there would be no way of assuring that the person trying to get the name would receive it. Still a waste of time though. I guess maybe when this game blows up and there are no good names left, maybe there would be some profit in this. I wonder if there is an official or unofficial policy about users having multiple accounts...

    It would be nice, but there is no way to enforce it. Anyone can go out and make another free email address, and thats all you really need.

    FYI, I had done this. I signed up with a char on Fnord but accidentally picked the wrong class. I deleted that char and the name was available instantly for me to use again.

    Well first of all, some of tese igns I will use for myself, but I done this in other mmos that were in beta, and when I come back a few months later, the game is huge, and rich people pay lots of money for single worded igns with meanings.

    Call me a douche if you want, but I suggest you do the same.

    1) You posted it on the forums. That's like, practically begging the devs to come and ban you, haha.
    2) You encouraged other people to do the same. That's like, telling someone you're gonna go rob a bank without a mask and asking other people to help you. XD

    Is having multiple charachters against the rules?
    Please direct me to that rule, or perhaps a mod can come in here and shed some light on this matter.

    Not cool at all. It's hard enough to even find a name that isn't taken, now you're just adding to the problem.

    Wow, name squatting? Seriously? Y'know, that had never crossed my mind.

    Probably because I'm not a scammer....

    The Devs should cause inactive characters to timeout and be deleted. Any character over lvl 13 could be immune, which would separate the real players from the name-squatting scammers. That would fix this problem....
    Characters: Epimetheus - Lvl 56 Warrior (main character), Atropos - Lvl 50 Enchantress, Aereus - Lvl 50 Archer
    I was a warrior before warriors became cool....

    TBH, I think theloneaecher would enjoy your loving attention more, but do continue.

    Nice try.

    Trying to re-direct the attention to another numpty.

    At least thelonearcher's madness benifits us, and will ultimately improve the game.

    What you are doing is nothing but grieving.
