When a name is taken I'd love to see the character info

When I created my toon on Exalted the name I wanted was too long, so I shortened it and found that was taken. The first thing I wondered is what that character was like. While it's entirely possible that the character was just a place holder, it's also possible that in many cases a real character would come up. I would like to compare the concept. If someone made what I wanted, only better, maybe I'll just bow and move to another character. Maybe I'll decide to revise my character to be even better. Or maybe I'll just smugly decide that the other character is a worthwhile impostor. Either way it would be nice to know what the competition is.

That's hard to do from within the character creator. And it also doesn't guarantee I'll get anything.

In what way is it potential for griefing? If I was just annoyed at the character name being taken and wanted to grief, it's easy to go into the game, find who has the name and harass them. How would knowing the character details result in more griefing?

Getting the information you want might run into the same server lag issues the Vault had.
