Character Names

[SS Falcon]

Can we incorporate some type of inactive character deletion. If the character has not been active for X amount of time it should get deleted. I just hate trying to make a new character and every single name is taken.

This has been talked about and sts has said no everytime. I suggest u get more creative.

Why did they say no? What was the complication to add it into the system?

U can do a search in forums and read all about it.

Why comment on a post and not actually offer information? It’s like some people in life live to be a* holes.

Lots of reasons. Some of them are:
1. Name selling used to be a huge thing back in the day and still is. Re-releasing these names will become an opportunity for a new illegal market.
2. AL has been known to have returning players. It would be unfair for these players to found out what was once their's, has now been harboured off by literally the developers of the game to another person. I had a friend that recently came back after 5 years of inactivity and he had some op IGNs. Would have been a shame if they got handed over to someone else.
3. It's complicated and an unnecessary tangle of mess.

P.S, these are not my opinions but the points that were made by devs in response to this suggestion, over the years.

You just don't have perseverance to look for In Game Names. I, myself, likes to use the dictionary and manually typing it in game to see if the word is still available. Some of the IGN I gaveaway are:
Detainer, Suspecting, Signifier. I also got some really nice IGN for myself. I got most of the names this 2020. If you really want something you just have to put effort into getting it. Anyways, goodluck on your sewrch for an in game name.

Thank you for the explanation. Name selling is illegal no? And if it’s not illegal how do you go about buying names?

You don’t go about buying names unless you’re planning to go out with a big ‘ban.’ ;-)
