Well personally I felt that seniority should have determined who got to keep their global name when the EU and NA server lists merged. So if you had the global first you would have kept it.

Then we merged and I lost it to an American player, because they got priority on global names simply by virtue of playing on the American servers. And yes, I'm still sore about that. By your suggestion I would then lose all the remaining versions of that character that I still have! How would that be fair at all? But I got the name on Exalted, so at least there's a bright spot for me there. |
...aw, man. I'm not famous enough to get name-squatted? But I post on the forums all the time! And make fun of people for demanding things that are not technically feasible! And fangirl Arcanaville!

I did go back and check, and Organica's taken. 
Not sure if that means someone name-squatted me, or just decided it was a good name for their character.

I treat Exalted the same I treat the rest of the servers: 12 brand-new slots to create new alts!
I haven't even checked if any of the... Uh... 100 or so names I've already used are taken. Quite a few are probably common enough to be taken anyway.
Hmmmm, new alts. *Drools*

Pardon me while I laugh at those that thought I was crazy for reserving the name Turbo-Ski on Exalted first thing on patch day.
Although I can see why this would bother people...I sort of have this wierd server loyalty thing going on at the moment. It's not that I think it's cool that people would take somone elses name on purpose. I mean, I do considder that griefing, or a screaming cry for attention!
However it's like...There can only be one of anything I create and all other imposters would be simply imposters...unless they also copied my costumes, story and personality or soul I have given to my creation (I play on virtue so dammit...they have souls! Some have more than one at a single time!)
This does not apply to others I know. But it's like superman! He was a robot once...I think...but it was not really superman.
There can be no other "Real" Philotic Knight! You were the first!
Although I am glad you got your name back because it means something to you that is important.
