That was great, Red. Loved how you delved into the inner workings of the man that is Johnny Turbo.

I'll be rolling a few toons on Union.

There will definitely be more. I was surprised at the turnout based on how little replies we got initially.

The giant, blue behemoth that is Ripjaw slouches on the shoreline of Bloody Bay. He lifts his head and sniffs. "Feeding time is near!" He then dives into the water and disappears into the depths.

With Ouroboros, AE, sidekicking, and exempting - you can do everything on one character. Okay, one character per side (red/blue).

Having more than one character takes up server resources and ties up valuable hero names that others cannot take. This is an RPG - and your character is very important. When a new player finds out they can't get the name they want - they quit. You have cost CoX one new player for every alt you have. That's a lot of money for development your selfishness has cost all of us.

And you can only play one character at a time (if you have multiple accounts - one per account). So having more than one is just a waste.

And when you play alts you aren't connected to your main. It is an RPG - you can only have fun from the satisfaction that comes from truly knowing and inhabiting your character. You can't possibly have fun having alts - so why have them (I know, I tried it out and hated it)?

Alts fill up supergroups. The devs have had to waste time making SGs larger so that selfish people could have alts.

And alts make it hard for everyone else to have fun. I see somebody on and make a friend. Later they aren't on. Maybe they are - but on an alt. I don't know. It just looks like my new friend is missing. Alts kills friendships and community - and everyone knows that community is what keeps MMO's alive.

I call upon the devs to solve this problem that is driving away new players, giving existing players ennui and making them quit. Reduce all accounts to 1 character redside and 1 character blueside. Stop selfishness from ruining my game.

Congratulations for totally missing the point of this game!

Man...I actually want this feature! Would be better than the boring "real numbers"...

Im curious, is the name wipe part of the "behind the scenes"?

[ QUOTE ]
He just said, that it will start when the feature starts. They don't give exact dates for things that are in the process of being debugged.

Yeah, if you read my post you would have known I said if not now, then when the server transfers are ready.
*looks at Lighthouses post* See, you dont know everything Lemur Lad!

The original notice was saying, "Hey, any time after Aug. 29th, names of characters under level 6 on accounts inactive over 90 days can go poof at any time." Fair warning.

We are just revising things to let you know we are not going to pull the trigger on the might name poofer until Character Rename and Character Transfer are good to go. That will coincide with the Rename functionality nicely. Thanks for your patience!

Any chance you can give us an exact day it will be on. If not now then when character transfers are ready. Some might not care, but I got up extra early these past few days to check names. Id really appreciate it!

So did this go live? Anyone know? Anyone get any naes you are surprised about?

I havent tried, and checked this thread out to see if anythings been happening.

As things stand now, the game is getting an update tomorrow morning (Aug 30th) and the maintenance is expected to last up to 3 hours. This is a slightly larger window than normal maintenance, and so I'm betting money on a very quick push of the Character Transfer and Rename tomorrow. Lighthouse said that the name purge will occur once the Transfers are rolled out. So if we all keep our fingers crossed, we'll have both by tomorrow afternoon!!

Theres nothing about 3 hours. i think you misread the other time zone. But, I would guess it has to do with the name wipe.

[ QUOTE ]
What if the level limit goes higher the more time the account has been inactive?

3 months: level 5 and under
6 months: level 20 and under
9 months: level 30 and under
12 months: level 40 and under

[/ QUOTE ]

I would be all for this as well. Just as long as no 40+ characters are EVER touched.

Weak, barely any names will be freed, at least not any good ones. How hard is it to get to 6?! That is rediculous, why even bring it back?

[/ QUOTE ]

Did you read anything Ex said before posting this? Obviously not since what you're saying has no red-name backing whatsoever.

Ex stated this would free up a huge number of names. Also considering you're not privy to the list of what names will fall into this category I doubt you have the slightest concept on wether or not names you find cool or good will be freed up.

How's it go? Crymoreplz?

[/ QUOTE ]

Well the way I figure it is, if you get a really cool name that many other people want wouldnt you at least get it to six? I just dont see why they cant just use the old policy, surely that would free even MORE names. Also, where did Ex state it would free up a huge number of names?

Sorry I was just a bit peeved before, and I suppose its better than nothing.

I love the new bug wings, but I do have a problem with them. When your not flying they just hang there. Alot of bugs wings fold up, so why dont ours? More like they kind of twist down on top of eachother. They wouldnt have animate while jumping if this was implemented too (atleast not regular jump). Thanks, Id love to see this added.

Since my old thread was deleted for whatever reason, heres the new one! Having trouble coming up with a good name? Well, your solution may be found here! Post ANY name you found available recently thats worth mentioning. An easy way to check if a name is available is to /friend it. If it says "not online or may not exsist" its open. Also if your looking for a name, post it (them). Im doing this because every day many good names are swiped by people and are never played, yet the dev's stopped the name wipe.../end charity commercial.

Names I want:

Nimbus, Zephyr, Icarus, Scarab, Pantheon, Hades, Argonaut and Pollution.

Names I recently let go and are possibly still available:

Undercurrent, Brutal Justice, Matter Shatter

Have fun!

Well you are a SG mate of ours. And yes those are our villains. Ace was nice enough let me have a cameo in his comission. My character is Pumpkin Face.

Bump! Its finished! Damn, Illidan you are a god!

Im his bro and he loves it, nice work Illidan! Hopefully Ill be able to afford a comission some day. And OB wont be surprised to see who's faces are in the wanted posters. Ace would love to see you color it too OB, hes just having trouble posting here.
