Players on the same server with the same name

The exalted server was hammered, with a newish name reserving system.
That's how I would explain it. Not too much a strech to reserve two names.
How they could also log in at the same time without the server going Bamf is the puzzle.
I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.
Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.
So sad to be ending ):
Yes. I was under the impression that crossing the streams was bad.

Note the back and forth tells happen to look like I'm sending tells to myself. Neither of us had logged out by that time - we were on steam or TS or something and had a "OK, I've got her name reserved." "Wait, what? I have it reserved." "No way. Did you put in a space or something?" conversation, then made sure to get away from everyone to compare.
There are Sirens in Night Ward, as aprt of the Talons - they have some epic effects for their song powers

Reminds me of a player that I group with now and then who we call Bar Code. Their name is actually something like: IIIlIlII1ll
Not exactly, but you get the idea.

So, how to explain the screenshot? Back to square one... |

No. Friend's character name is Vakyrierising. We were just happening to try to snag it for her at the same time. So we would have no reason to misspell it.

Hahaha... What's funny about the screenshot is I was thinking that one of you was being a wiseass by mimicking what the other one sent in a tell... then I suddenly realized that a tell sent to someone with the same name would come to you... haha... crazy. |

Note that we'd coordinated after to try and see if it could happen again - couldn't get it to. *SNIP* |

(I fully believe that neither of you misspelled it at the time, but this was just humorous enough to point out)

... ok, yes, that is amusing, but still.
