    I got one sense apocketlegend is no longer available to you, how about switching up a few letters like: alegendpocket, or maybe changing the a to a I, Ipocketlegend.

    I actually like the look of that name as well, plus one Orcish.

    If you want! Its your name

    I liked awesomegolfer and apocketlegend! Maybe legendgolfer?Legendsgolfer? its a cool mix of both

    EDIT: im not a fan of putting xxx or xx or x in front of names. IMO it lacks originality. And to me it looks terrible! On my list of friend reuqests, i scroll down to x's....tons of pvp twinks and stuff who have names like xxxpvpreaperxxx and stuff. Its even worse that people are having names like xxxipwndyoufooxx....where they arent even consistent with the x's!

    I believe ipocketlegend is taken

    I'm personally not a fan of excessive X's in names. But then again I'm horrible with IGNs

    How did you lose it, if I may ask?

    I've deleted a renamed avatars the same name a couple times in both PL and SL. Wasn't sure which class I wanted to settle on. Even used one name across multiple devices.

    Changed the name from Apocketlegend to something completely different which left it up for grabs, someone swooped in and got it. Perhaps out of spite; like the players stealing established, unreserved PL names when SL went beta or stealing guild names when it got introduced to PL. Perhaps someone just thought the name up and to their surprise it was unclaimed. Who knows, just a bit sad that the OP lost it and the new owner cannot claim their ign on forums.

    Sounds like what you do is a delete followed by an immediate creation of a new toon and place the same name on that toon making it so of someone wanted to snipe your name they would only have seconds to do so.

    Oh, that makes perfect sense, and that is pretty much exactly what I've done.

    iPocketlegend has a permanent ban. Maybe devs would allow you to have it... It's worth a try

    Anpocketlegend? Bad grammar, but its close to your original.

    Dude, just FYI, asking on the forums is pretty much open to anyone to steal ideas before you read this thread.

    Ikr, I bet someone is eyeing Cowboyvip right now. Not to mention if you're in a guild they could impersonate you, perhaps even get officer status if they talk the talk.

    Well no, if he renamed the name would change. But somebody could pretend they were him and got kicked out or something....

    How do you know this? Was that somebody you knew? But yea, it's worth a try. Name is just taking up server space anyway.

    Yes, the name would change but only some would notice. There could be an officer or two who may not have noticed the change, much easier if the guild is large. A simple explanation of "oops I accidently removed my self from the guild, can you please invite me again," just thinking of possible unwanted outcomes is all.
