So Im just not supposed to play then? I have used the same 4 names in every single MMO I have played from WoW all the way back to Everquest and none of them were available. Also these arent variations of popular fantasy movie or book characters, they were randomy generated using EQs nem generator when I started playing so no clue how someone else picked them. Im not changing my name. It was dumb on their part to make names world wide instead of restricting them to servers like every other MMO.
If people dont like alt codes and think they are dumb then dont use them but why should some of us be punished because our names were taken, probably by some herpderp who wont even make is past level 15, before going back to play with his pandas and pokemon pets.
