Hello everyone, I have noticed the problem for quite some amount of players of name reservation system not being available. While I understand that creating such system in the given time till lunch is not doable I am presenting you a simple solution.
Give everyone (or founders) a free character Customization Token.
That way people can hop into the game, reserve their name and then take their time customizing their wonderful looking characters.
I think that a lot of people would appreciate such move - and itās really easy to implement
Looking at the RU in my experience, most of the names I wanted were already taken. I just donāt want that to happen on EU also or feeling rushed to create character which I canāt customize later and pray that the name wonāt get taken meanwhile.
Next are popular names, streamer names etc. I guess itās more a feeling of safety and enjoying the process of character customization.
I dont think anyone is sharing their plans for the name. Its important to us because is something that will stay with you permanently the 2, 3, 10 years that youre gonna play, and not many people like the xxxXkskXzzx kinda names.
For me, my usernmae is more important than skins, pets, etc
Sure, that can be an option. Imagine āLeeā as username: When the game is 5 years old and theres no more names available without putting a number o strange letters, a name like āLeeā (for example) would be awesome to have, even more if it represents something to you.
I know that not so many people see the importance of this. Maybe you just wanna kill dragons, and thats ok
Yes, exactly. I imagine other personalized usernames are easy to obtainā¦ if I am to use my real Name as username, i would have to be very very quick xD but some not special username that I use in other games or something, I never had a problem to getā¦ idk
It was nearly twenty years ago. My daughter was making her very first character in an mmo (City of Heroes). She was about five years old. She spends forever in the character creator playing with all the options and it finally is time to name her character.
I try explaining to her that names are unique and she has to pick something no one else has used. So she says, āLisaā and Iām like, āsweetie, thatās never going to work,ā but I type it in like a good dad andā¦it gets accepted.
Some people actually care about their character name since it sticks with you for years while playing an MMO. Heckā¦ Iāve generally used the same pool of three to five character names for the last two decades across numerous MMOās.
not in this game tho. Where that āyou can decide about your main laterā or ātry more classesā arguments suddenly went?
Iāve pretty much abandon the idea of ācharacter namingā as names are not transferable/switchable. Locks on them areā¦ attrocious. And the game is pretty much built around alts.
So being super tight to ārareā names doesnāt sound like a good plan.
You donāt care and thatās fine. You do you with throwing out a random name and not caring about it. But for those of us who like the whole RPG side of MMOās then character names are important to us instead of just throwing a random number on it and calling it a day.
I have more names if I end up burning through the three to five that I normally use and I have variants of them if the name is already taken. I usually donāt have that issue since I tend to stick to one or two characters per MMO. Lost Ark thoughā¦ Iāll probably end up having more due to the whole game being built around having alts.
