Name availability

[themarinemike]

I'd love to try this game out but I cant get a name accepted for initial character. Multiple servers tried, every name thinkable is already in use, with no random option to just get in to play... What is the deal?

Names are locked for 60days after deletion by a character level 11 or higher. Main problem is numbers are not allowed. Basically add an extra letter or two in certain spots. Like Zeus can be ZZeus or ZZZeus, etc

They messed up and didn't allow spaces or surnames. AFAIK names are shared throughout the entire region instead of just individual servers.

Embrace the silent H! I've gotten a ton of cool names just adding an h somewhere that it looks cool and fits. Using the above example- Zheus or Zuehs would work.

Even as a joke it's painful because its just facts.

I will never understand people who struggle to come up with names.

Its kinda they HAVE to have the name they used with everything else. I can relate but same time im not against adding additional letters or different but similar looking names.

It IS a bit strange for a game to not allow numbers this day and age and I still find the friends list design a bit "weird" where its not a default Roster friend thus having to add all your friends as roster friends instead of "friends" but eh, whatever.

More common names are taken, you need to try things like "xilliarder". You will see it works.

Does that 60day+ name reserve stay in effect if banned? Because the bots have taken god knows how many names in that case.

[themarinemike]

Not surprised by the obvious responses, cause obviously I've tried them barring just typing letters at random...

A Consumer sums it up.

Zabrant displays the failure of the developers.

Names are Region locked so don't matter what server if u are in lets say East, have to try West etc.

Every server in a given region (Such as US West) will share names, so don't bother trying to make the same name unless you try another region.

I also noticed that this game has way more names taken compared to most (even odd spellings and variants), but I assume it comes down to being free to play and popularity.

You'll come up with something eventually. :P

I think it's the bots. The bots went through a phase of using common name lists (names and surnames) then doing them with 2-3 random letters tacked on the end. That on top of the masses of random letter spam names being used up by them.

I don't know if bans open the names up immediately or they're tied to the 60 day timer, but I would bet on the latter being true.

here is a name that has not been taken

Thesuperdeupernonname

[karendor]

well you can try :
original name, created by yourself, or non famous character with original name in fiction like books or movies, game etc... I guess that there is a list of free elves, aliens, etc... not taken by anybody.

Adding name after firstname, it will expand the possibilities (i guess that famous combinations are already taken ).
Seek for exotic names (asians, arab, indian, etc... ) , you should have a lot of free asians name on western servers for a martial artist.

or adding something like (junior or senior, thefirst, etc... ) after your name/firstname of your character.

The more itis difficult to find a free name, the more you need to be creative.
