Reserved names

[Cavoc]

I'd like to get a dev's response on this. For the new game, will you guys be doing reserved names? And if you do, will it only be available on AL since none of the other games will be getting updates?

[End]

Interested aswell

[for the lulz]

o dood id love that

[Trenton]

This would actually be amazing, I have some pretty great AL names

[End]

How do name reservations work? Do you have to own the name to reserve it?

[Cavoc]

How do name reservations work? Do you have to own the name to reserve it?

Yeah. For instance, when before al was released, you could pay 10 or 20 plat (I can't remember) to reserve the name you were using on pl. And it reserved that name for the email account you use.

No chance of getting the dream name of Endy then

Haha you never know man! If you don't get it I'll try to get it for you upon release.

[NotYoCookiez]

But that would have to include a free shield and they can't update game

[Fao]

It doesn't HAVE to, but we would like it to.

I don’t think that there are any current plans in place for a name reservation system, but it’s certainly an idea that I can pass along to the Developers. We’ll be releasing more information about promotions closer to the actual release date!

Thanks man

That would be awesome. I feel like the least thing STS could do for its dedicated PL players is to give name reservations like they did for SL DL and AL.

[Befs]

Does any1 know the name or release date of the game? All I know is it's gonna be mainly pvp based (correct me if I'm wrong).

[bearuang]

they want to make new game?

New Moderator hype!!!! Welcome to the forums! :)

[Jhawkeye]

I think I'd rather have a chance to battle for the best names

[Motivating]

New game, wait what?

[bearuang]

New game, wait what?

[plpr]

So basically screwing people who havent gotten a chance to get an "original name"? Sorry but i dont like this idea

You can only reserve the name of u already own it. And it's usually like 50 plat or so per name.

I think this is a perfect idea and was already discussing it with others. All the games should have an equal chance at reserving the names.

Pl players loyalty shouldn't be valued any less than AL players.

[tger]

this only increases scams, like "selling name!" DO NOT ALLOW NAME RESERVES!!

How can you sell a name reserve... they're linked to email

[KingFu]

Name reservations for AL didn't include a free shield. The shield was for purchase separately. Only SL name reservations came with a free shield (Hardlight).

I actually entirely disagree with this, regardless of me being in the vast minority from this part of the forums. Name reservations being valid across multiple games led to a lot of problems the last two times. If they no longer support PL/SL/DL, why should they get the name reservations? I think they made it very clear loyalty is already less valued in certain areas, so that doesn't hold any weight anymore.

I think that's inaccurate saying that loyalty doesn't hold any weight anymore. STS could have stopped giving us updates/fixes and feedback a long time ago, but they decided not to. They recognized the heart and loyalty some individuals have given to the community, and they still continue to acknowledge and appreciate it. Seeing that there are a lot of disappointed players (I for one not being upset... of course we were never going to receive more updates...) STS could ultimately find it in their heart to let us maintain our in-game names for the next app they design.

This is reasonable because imagine the community this new game can have. By allowing current PL players to reserve their names and to carry on something that means well to them, then players will be motivated to actually play this new game, thus creating a solid foundation of members. I'm not saying that there will surely be a positive community if the PL playerbase were to transfer to this new MOBA, but I would say the odds are in our favor. I mean, the only reason I'm still here is because of the close-knit community.

I agree with some of this, but I still think it makes quite a bit more sense for name reservations to be limited to AL. I realize no matter what argument I give, almost everyone in this forum is going to disagree with me, it being PL general and all.

I do think it's very naive to say loyalty means much here anymore though. I have no doubts that someone like G has a lot of appreciation for old players remaining loyal to StS, but there's really not much proof at all to support saying that StS as a company actively acknowledges and appreciates PL players' loyalty. Just look at what it's gotten us long term - neglect.

im agree with you ,but its against ur opinion about ppl disagreement. so im disagree to make it agree with you ^^

[Jig]

If none of these SL DL PL games not goig to get updates, simply.. how hard could it be to implement name reserving... I would like to reserve my name in PL..

[Dchar7]

Tbh, alot of old players quit pl, the orginal game, leaving heaps of rare names left in the dust. Then new gen got to snipe them on AL and now you want reserves for it, i say there be no reserves and all have a chance at getting a orginal name when game is released by sts, only allowing 1 name to be created on first day of realise, meaning one character can be created upon realise within the first 24hrs. That way every one has an equal chance of getting the name they've always wanted, consider this sts. Also all players should be emailed when game is realised so everyone knows. Idk what game will be, from what i saw in comments pvp based. I love pvp, don't like pve much. Anyway i hope you will do this sts, because everyone deserves an equal chance at being able to obtained their own name or a name of their Choice, Thanks.

We haven't received neglect for our loyalty. We were given a 77 cap when the community realized the game was simmering down... to me, that's not neglect, but rather a sign of sympathy that STS showed towards its PL community for remaining loyal.

I agree though, it makes much more sense to give name reservations in AL from a business standpoint. I guess I don't see the reason why they can't just do name reservations for all games - for instance, my buddy in SL named Ghost has constantly been asking me for the name Ghost in PL. Whereas, I'm sure there is a Ghost in DL and in AL. I feel that at least the fairest way to accommodate for this is to do first come, first serve for reservations. Morally speaking (sorry for getting to deep, I know this is a game), STS should at least give us this chance to hold on to our names.

To me, I see the 77 cap as a huge example of neglect. Like throwing a barking dog the nearest bone you can find to shut it up. I guess that all depends on your perspective on it though.

I agree that the more morally correct answer would probably be for reservations to be across all games, but like you said, business wise AL makes sense. StS has made it clear to me that business is what comes first. I just know it was a pretty big hassle for them last time, as a player would reserve their name, only to find someone already reserved the same name from another game (teh rhymes!). Support got quite a few emails from people wanting either their plat back, or their name to be reserved regardless. I could easily see StS just avoiding that same dilemma by making it AL-exclusive, especially since they've obviously just stopped supporting the other titles.

Then again, this is all to say name reservations will even be a thing in the first place.

[tHelonestud]

The only positive I see is avoiding impersonation early on in the new game. I believe some respected members who didn't reserve their names were impersonated in AL, and the fakes used those names good reputation to scam people.
Honestly as much as I love STS, I don't really see me moving to another of their games at this point so this seems to be a very small issue overall, and I think they would have to update the game to open the reservations to a new game.

I totally get your perspective. But STS has always been the company that, in my eyes, would never intentionally want to neglect us. They really attempted to give us something with their dedicated time and money. But that's coming from the perspective of the customer - I could very well be wrong.

And even more so, I doubt the name reservations will be implemented in the first place.

I agree with you, just because i'm not leaving per-say (I will reserve and play the new game :))..I will reserve in AL. I might not play any sts games much anymore..but I will return always for events (and buy my plat when necessary to help enhance my experience). I'm willing to try this new game out...Maybe if it is a great success (meaning the new game), STG can be up to capacity for new opportunities and updates for other games that was announced.

That was only once lol. As for this post, I will play and support the new game considering Pl, SL, DL and other games are over. Lets not get into the discussion of how you got it in PL ok :)...Just please befor you mention me on a post, PM me ok...and im Ghost in DL and AL...so yea they are all me lol...look at the sig. and a side note O&C sucked, so i uninstalled...it was a waist of my time....Now Kritika....is fun.

I agree to an extent like I'm sure Gary really wanted to be able to push out more quality content to us, but I think a lot of the newer devs and mods have not emotional attachment to the game. Out with the old; in with the new.

There were multiple occurrences we're we discussed switching the names.

[Petrichor]

I hate to be the negative one here. I just do not understand how it could be implemented into multiple games. I think if they limited it to one game, say PL, then AL players would rage. Likewise, if they limited it to AL, PL players would rage. The reason that I don't understand it is the fact that one person may have the name in PL, and then another person may have it in AL or any other one of the legends titles. Say I were to reserve the name "Rose" in PL. And if there is a person in AL who also plays by the name "Rose" it would be like a competition between who can reserve it faster. The loser would probably rage and start some negative thread calling people out or blaming the devs because their name was already reserved. I don't know. Perhaps I am misunderstanding something here.

With that being said, it would be nice to have the option to reserve names. However, I can foresee it causing quite a bit of raging across the community.

I don't know. :torn:

[CAK Vader]

I'm too lazy to read half this thread but blah who cares. It goes both ways. Name reserves=hardcore AL players getting all the best names. No name reserves=android beta players will own them all. Personally, the latter is more favorable to me.

[angeldawn]

If the reserve is across all games and known to be first come first serve, how much can one really complain.

[DudeitsJacob]

As much as I'd like the chance to be able to get a certain name in the new game and " restart " my exploration in the world of the next game , I gotta agree with Angel because adding the name reserve would return the loyalty , and its not so much as giving all al players the names when we all had the chance when it came out , And for those who would say " I disliked the game " that was all you , but maybe instead of reserving it on al there could be a reserve put on the game before the game is created , so you start as L1 with that name ? Then it applies the " first come first serve " rule with the comfort of having known all players had ANOTHER chance to get some name they want. Though making some kind of name reserve privately, for example " would you like to reserve the name _____ for 50 plat ?" Sent to your acc on all games could help out those who want their names from pl to that game. Sorry if this didn't help ..

[MightyMicah]

I just want the name, "Taco." That's all I have to say on this matter. Carry on.

You do know what community you're talking about, right?

[Petrichor]

You do know what community you're talking about, right?

Exactly my point lol.

[Seoratrek]

Hey there everyone!

There aren't any plans to reserve names for the new game. However, if this does change we will certainly let you all know. :)

Closing this one up now.
