So what names did you all manage to get or not get?
I got the one name I really wanted, Fantastico! It's the name of the hero I made when I played DCUO for about a week.
Contact me in-game: @CheeseSlicer
I got:
BFG 9000
Time Wizard
Deja Vu
Locomotive
RAWK
Pit Viper (Wanted Viper)
Justice for All
Director
Kaboom
Nyan Cat
Was also hoping to get either Alice, Sakura or Rhiannon but they were all taken by the time I was able to get online.
I wasn't able to reserve my global before it was taken.
On the other hand, I DID get a name I've been trying for on Virtue for a long time:
Crusader
Not to mention a few other names I'll enjoy playing some:
Gravity
Hellspawn (Probably won't play this one..)
Authority
The Paladin
Steel Canyon, Virtue
Exalted
@Paladin
I got pretty lucky in some of mine. However, I do agree with others. Not sure how often I will play here as Virtue is my home. But, will wait and see how bad the F2P storm is. (*wonders if this is 'The Coming Storm' foretold by Ouroboros? )
Velvet Knight
Roulette
Taboo
Icicle
Jynx
Stardancer
Planet Girl
Olympia
Not a bad round of names if I do say so myself.
<----- only one I cared to get and got.
Grabbed and transferred over my three main 50's from Infinity
Gwendolyn Diego
Chernobyl Dawn
(The) Tattered Magistrate (formerly Mai Yer Lor)
Also snagged the following:
Hive-Mother (remaking an old character from Infinity)
Toxic Dose
Zemya Soldat
Temerous Nox
Snagged these and have concepts, but would be willing to discuss if someone really wants them:
Erys
Malady
Pyrebird
What I got:
To late for: Exalted MARTy Saving the last spots I have for transfers. |
Equinoxe (I didn't even try to get Equinox. It looks cooler in French: Jarre FTW.)
Janissary
Rogation
Katyusha
Jukebox
Jaggernath
The launch of Exalted just reinforced my opinion that most people have no imagination. Post-launch I saw Mis-Spellingz, Fake Spe11ings, xXFramed SpellingsXx, and the Plain Lame in under an hour. Fourty-five minutes into the server's existence and a noticeable proportion of the players had already run out of ideas.

Got my global. All I really cared about since I don't remake characters.
No one pays attention to me, cause I listen to the voices in my head.
I managed to get Galaxy's Last Stan, in honor of the now-defunct former zone, and made him a Kin/Shield scrapper in golden armor. I started him on another server, and I decided I'll just reroll him on Exalted, and play him up there.
I then went ahead and got the Dawn sister's names, just in case.
Ruby Dawn, the Heroine,
Cerise Dawn, the Villain
Rose Dawn, the Vigilante
'cause maybe the sisters might move there one day... Still debating... been Pinns forever...
Other than these 4, don't really need anything else at the moment... and if I make another character on Exalted, I'm sure that, as usual, I'll get the exact name I want within a couple of guesses. Always do, so far.
As I never play as anything called 'houtex', someone can have that if they want, but just so you all understand, it's not me.
August 31, 2012. A Day that will Live in Infamy. Or Information. Possibly Influence. Well, Inf, anyway. Thank you, Paragon Studios, for what you did, and the enjoyment and camaraderie you brought.
This is houtex, aka Mike, signing off the forums. G'night all. - 10/26/2012
Well... perhaps I was premature about that whole 'signing off' thing... - 11-9-2012
I got:
Succubus
Nymph
Doll
Brittany
Harpy
Dullahan
Ted
Foxy
Fighter
Hero of Time
High Priest
Skogul
Space Pirate
Treasure Hunter
Evangeline
Blackbeard
and Bloody Knight.
I'm pretty pleased with what I got, got everything I wanted except Dark Lord.

All in all, I can't really complain. I was able to get most of my higher level character names on Exalted - I wanted an active place to send them if I ever need to make room on Virtue. Or if Exalted becomes the new place to be, I can just transfer them over. Either way, I was pretty happy to get the ones I really cared about.
Besides those names, I hit on about 66% of the others I wanted and the ones I missed were no great shakes though not getting Templar or Maiden America stung a little as I had grand plans for both. Still, I know the guy who got Templar and I'm sure he'll do an awesome character.
All in all, pretty happy in spite of the issues on launch day. I probably would have felt greedy if I'd done any better.

I got home Tuesday at 8:30 p.m. est from work and tried to get some friend's names and failed, but was happy to find out that they got the names themselves! We missed one name in the bunch though (King), but the thinking there is King is a developer or NPC name.
Names I was able to snag:
Judge (for a friend, I no longer have it)
Jolt
Volt
Rejolt
Revolt
Akimbo
White Wolf
Silver Star
Makita
Aya
Lightning Blade
Boomer
Guilty Gear
I also tried for Dragonfly, but didn't think of it until hours after I got home and it was taken. I had the names Spin Doctor and Madman saved - but dropped them the next day.
Thank you, City of Heroes, for giving me a superhero social network combined with amazingly smooth game play. Petitions signed with realistic expectations.
I captured:
Typhon
Audacity
Laufey
I did not capture:
the Guardian of Time (not surprising, but the Time Guardian was available)
Hiawatha (had to call him King Hiawatha)
Like Elvis, Statesmonkey is everywhere.
Even on Exalted.
Statesmonkey Sez: Lighten up! It's a game, for Lincoln's sake!
Also: Six years of casual play begins to look an awful lot like one year of hardcore play.
Celestial Lord
Celestial Saber
Celestial Sword
Abyssal Shooter
Jack
Daddy
Scarlet Striker
Dusk Striker
I wanted Dusk, but someone beat me to it.
@Celestial Lord and @Celestial Lord Too
Managed to snag
