Just in case people are trying to find me or whatever, here are my NEW NAMES:

Republic:

Ziala (that one is going to bug me soon, I can FEEL IT)
Dorvin
Jovi
Jassan (I swear this was originally taken when I checked, but when I finally decided to transfer him, it was MAGICALLY FREE)

Empire

Jov'ian (I have become one of the apostrophe people :( )
Yulla
Nellaria



Still trying to decide if Joshua will be transferring or LANGUISHING, so he doesn't have a new weird name yet.



EDIT: Just for Phred: The Shien people all wound up on Ebon Hawk.

Evryali    (Euryale)
???        (Former Payne, and mistyped attempt at a name on the wrong character; hoping for a rename)

Thankfully everyone else kept theirs, and my Legacy name was still available.

I can't believe how many people have funny characters in their names now.  Ingmar will exclude half the server on principle. ;D

Tyeburon (Tyburon) Who the fuck steals that? I've been using that name since 1995!
Wesleymantooth (Wesmantooth) Really?
Threnodi (Threnody) This one I kind of understand, there was an X-Men character with the same name and well, the cross pollination of comic book nerds and mom nerds is probably pretty high.

"Starcrossed" my legacy name was also taken

Haruspex I thought was pretty far-fetched to lose, but Cicatrix? Ye gods. The pickins, they be misspelled and hyphenated, I guess. Unfortunately, I really hate misspellings and gratuitous hyphenation (something like Calc'avigli'ar gets a pass imo because it's a racial tradition and not I'heals'ugood).

Oh hey, I totally saw you today. I was standing next to you on my very manly smuggler.

I kept Kayce and Bort, Vido turned into Veedo and Jago turned into Jom. My only imperial of note is still named Obrax.

I totally did the same thing, by the way Lanty - for some reason it wanted me to rename ALL my rename guys at once and I didn't realize it, so I had the wrong guy named Bort. Luckily it was just a level 10 consular so I just deleted and remade him with a different name, so I could put Bort on my trooper where it belongs.

No more brother Bart the trooper for Bort, though.

Did you try Bert/Burt/Birt?  :grin:

You can always try Keith Stone.

Speaking of which, I managed to retain all of my names.  :why_so_serious:

No, but I did try Hightower, since he looks like this:

That reminds me, I hope the dude named Sugarfly Jackson on Shien got to keep his name/legacy.

They're just lucky I don't remember to bring in my security key to work and bitch at them on the forums all day.

Fuckin' word.

Though, there's an app for that.

I am now Fordell

Two L's.


Who names themselves Fordel?  :sad:

Should've gone with Chevyel.
I has a dumb phone.

Oh well, you'll never be able to send me tells.

Sky = Ský
Haruspex = Hàruspex
Bart = Bàrt
Tiamat = Cicatryx

Caviglia and Komoto both transfered over. Leadership of Shien BC went to Furiously, didn't know how to disband it. Can't transfer my sage Winth because it says I have 8 on Ebon Hawk (I have 7).

Make a guy and delete him and it will free that spot up.

Same thing happened to me.

Fuckers.

As for your dumb phone, no big. It's a huge pain in the ass to get the app set up if you've got a key anyway.

Got lucky. The only one out of 6 I had to rename was my Smuggler Dec, who is Decc now. Because finding a place for an apostrophe in a three letter name is not that easy.

D'e'c

 :awesome_for_real:

I've been bitten several times by the rename dog, sadly. Most infuriatingly of all, my Legacy name is taken; Catari... wat?
Having to think of a new Legacy is a horrendous pain in the arse, I spent an eternity coming up with something I liked in the first place.

Republic:
Corban is now Caylan
Wave
Senna is now Catakin
Casseal is placeholder/bank waiting for Cathar

Empire:
Calwyn
Torvin
Stix is now Strix

I have a lot of 'C' characters. Wave is a callsign, his real name begins with a c too.

When can the slappers get together to recreate BC with me? I'm not sure when my sub runs out, but it's fairly soon, so the sooner the better.

The easiest time to get 3 of us together at the same time for the guild creation would be starting around 8 pm Pacific.

Jumped on for an hour on the weekend - I was the only person on my planet. The only one.
Figured I'd best do that server transfer.

Bunk -> Bunktav

You know, frankly, this whole server merge and having to rename my characters was more or less the proverbial straw. I was in on day one of early access and made 8 characters to snag all of my names. After the merge I got to keep half of them.

It's all about your character story, your legacy.

Until it isn't.

My Ebon Hawk legacy is The Nameless Legacy, because my legacy name was taken.

Was the 'Cutting Off My Nose to Spite My Face' Legacy taken?

Still surprised Sunstrike wasn't taken, it totally was on Lord Adraas.


IN YOUR FACE, DUDE FROM LORD ADRAAS

A good sith needs to fan the ember of hate regularly.

So you'll stop ragging on people for ragging on TOR? ;D

Nope. I think I'm going to take up ragging on WoW, in fact. I've been inspired.

Sounds like a plan. You do WoW and I'll do Guild Wars 2.

Might want to edit the OP to add what server you guys all end up on. For posterity and all. I'm sure it's buried in another thread.

I'll do both.

You're such a slut.

Dude, if you slam GW2 it's just to be an iconoclast.  It may not be for some people, but railing against a game that is doing everything right when we bitch endlessly about choices for other games is silly. :-P

Where's my unicorn mount?

Nah, I slam it just because it leaves me cold. The gameplay I can kind of get behind but the rest is just.... meh.

If they're doing everything right where are my heroes and my skill hunting?  :-P

Surly slamming GW2 would be exactly as meaningful as people who've never played SWTOR railing about it - which I suspect is the point. Actually it might be more meaningful, if he tried it during a beta weekend...

I disagree.  I'm much more of an achiever than an explorer so there are a lot of design decisions they made for this game that really leaves me cold.  Plus whatever they did between the first beta weekend and the second has made it nearly impossible for the game to run on my computer even at the very lowest settings due to how often it crashes on me.  So that makes it very easy to take a pass.

:hulk_rock:

Asha Catari (http://rift.zam.com/en/npc/1714546349/Asha-Catari) is a prominent NPC in Rift. Maybe that's what happened?

It's certainly possible. Nevermore also pointed out to me that the Catari were an ancient tribe of Veneti peoples living in pre-Roman northern Italy. It's odd how coming up with what seems like a random but pleasing jumble of letters actually correlates to reality somewhere.

Sadly, I'm still searching for a new Legacy name.

Should probably post this for anyone who might still retry the game.  You can use characters with accents/umlauts/etc for names.  Go to your start menu then type "character map" and launch it.   You can find the alt+codes in there.

ë : alt+0235
ü : alt+0252
ä : alt+0228

On a related note, I should also point out that Slap has a long-standing 'if I can't type it you don't get invited' policy.  :grin:

One which almost caused a crisis, but the crises was averted!   :star:

At least on xp you need to type charmap not character map.
