[Deleted]

Yup! I did.

[Psyhke]

I got the three I wanted - Sage (my main, sylvari ele), Pixie Sticks (asura, not sure what profession yet), and Sweet Melody (human thief). I also managed to save Greta for a friend, and Who Dat for my hubby

[Valort]

Can use 19 chars and spaces between names... No chance of someone taking mine. (So far...)

[carnifex2005]

I got all five I wanted. I did get an e-mail from a Tempeste saying "Screw youuuuuuuuuuuu". Heh.

Got the ones I wanted in the first ~30 seconds after game allowed login (it was exactly 3 hours earlier as they had said).

Now the problem is that none of those are the characters I'm actually going to play - and you can only choose a name after you've gone through the customization, which can take a while.
So you have to delete your character and hope like FUCK that your name doesn't get taken by someone else in the ~10 minutes you take to create a proper character.

Your names are reserved to your account for 24 hours after deletion to that character, so you can take your time creating a proper character.

I...you...you are my hero.

So let me get this straight, it gets locked for 24 hours for everybody else except you​ correct?

yea..

that's why it's such a mad dash.. a race

you make 5 names, it's saved for you.. once you delete it, you got 24 hours or someone else can use it

[Xuvial]

Well I'm glad as hell I got the name "Yay' lol :P

[Deleted]

I got mine.

[Deleted]

None. Had to use special symbol í in my main's name. Highly displeased with situation.

Well, actually I took Chrom for my alt, but I don't plan to play alts much....

[Meledelion]

I'm using my GW1 names so yea

[antonatsis]

why the weird charactes people?just put an extra space or something or put a last name :P its 19 characters long names with space available :P

[Varyk]

I got 3 of them. Only cuz I hurried and logged to make a new character as soon as I was able to.

[Cludo]

Cludo! Yes I did, Servers went up earlier than expected and I wasn't home but I was still able to snatch my name.

[Yoshimiko]

I didnt!

any of you got lucky ?

Ain Aoki Amaya Altma Adonis. I think I like A names.... Got all of mine.

[Lyrax]

[Deleted]

I got 2 I wanted...1 was gone and I got a variation of another one

[Irraticate]

I got the two I wanted, Irraticate and Frederick Douglass (yes, seriously. Frederick Douglass).
I saved my brother's two most used names, and my friend's most used name (he's in Vegas right now so he can't play).

[Deleted]
