how can i create a name when everything is taken?
i have tried like 20 different names for a character i just created and none of them worked. the name hint thing doesnt really help since while it says special characters it doesnt say numbers but apparently those are considered special characters. is there a better list of things that you can use for a name so i can at least play this game? i just got on today after being at work for a week and i cant think of a single name that isnt already taken.

I think AGS actually used the energy created from rubbing two braincells together and planned ahead. Meaning you are now competing with names made in every server for when the inevitable server merge happens. Also, this is a f2p game.

You are allowed to use single word names (no spaces) with a single capital letter at the beginning (no capitals anywhere else allowed) without numbers or special signs. "Umlaute" (äöüë), accents (áàâ) or other language specific letters are allowed though.
Names are Region locked so each name can only exist a single time in a region (EU West, EU Central, North America West, North America East, South America) and since the game is based around using alt characters you can assume that most players have atleast 6 characters (and therefore names locked).

most good sounding names are most likely taken by now (especially as it takes a long while before they unlock names of players who stopped playing) I had decent success by numbering my characters with written letters i.e. naming them stuff like : Agentzeroone Agentzerotwo, Bersizerothree and so on.

It's 60 days from deletion finalization for a name to return to being open. Also, the bots used name list plus 1-3 letters fairly early on so those are basically all taken. Not sure how long it takes for a banned name to be freed up, I'd assume the usual 60 days.:raven:

Edit: The exception to the 60 day rule is a lv10 (as in, never leveled up once) character, who's name frees up immediately in as far as I can tell. :raven:

If with my low imagination about finding a name, I could find 6 ones, I'm sure you can, just breath, think about stars in the sky and BAM !!! Write some original name. But...check google to find if it's not a foreign company name you never heard about before, just in case xD Good luck !

Make a really stupid, and badly spelled name. Almost all of us had to with the number of people that made characters at launch, and the fact that names are shared across ALL servers.

Simple, stop trying to make actual names, and start using names that come from titles or that have dumb meanings, like "GunBeatsArrow" or something like that.

Yeeaahh I really wish they went for last names.
They could have even done it with the rosters where you have a roster name as your family name.

At least let us add spaces. I'm pretty sure they can have spaces in the Korean servers, no?
