There realistically are not enough archaic names to merit this. Eve has to low a subscriber number in it's entire entire history to have to enforce a wipe. You do realize that there as many used names as new subscriptions in half a years time for other MMO's right? "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn"

I mean lets face it if a dude hasn't played since 2005 there's no chance of him even remembering his password, much less randomly coming back to a game he hasn't played in almost a decade.

I have characters that have never been in a player corporation. They don't show up on kill boards and have never posted on the forums. It doesn't mean they are inactive. For one thing there are a lot of characters with no portrait, which means the haven't logged in since before incarna. That's just one example. Another is that the dude's last post was a ragequit post from 2004.There are several ways to tell.
Actually my current Alliance leader just resubbed after being inactive since 2005......so guess that kinda blows that little theory to bits. |

Now if only CCP would introduce a bare minimum of sense in names allowed, too damn many ridiculous ones around ..

As much as I understand the reasoning behind it I have to disagree. Mostly because it sets a precedent about affecting character (names) based on arbitrary rules, which is something we really need to stay away from. Also, we don't need to see any "cool" well known names used by players. At least those old farts had the decency to go inactive with them. Excellence is not a skill, it's an attitude.

It doesn't mean that I'm inactive. |

In fact, while we're at it, why do we even allow numbers ? Eh, I'll let that slide, for now.
Bottom line : we need to restrict even more names, not open up those that used to be taken. Stop being so unoriginal, dammit !
...
Heck, I'd probably even reject my own current name right now for not being "proper namey" enough (what's with the single letter there, huh?) and make myself add some more letters. WYH? You're OK, you're Ca tpain Kirk, pretty awesome if you ask me.
All the coolest names are based on characters from old TV series, but with transposed or added letters. Dulce et decorum est pro imperium mori. |

Iv seen alot of alts that are in use that have never set foot outside of a noob corp, trader alts, price checking alts and so and and so forth.
On top of that it could be a database issue, depending on the way a database is configured it might not be possible to delete a name from it..
Some databases that i have worked on once i have created and named a specific screen or section or button or whatever and submitted it, i can delete the name so it no longer appears, but that name is still within the database and cannot be used again without a full fresh install of the database. CCP could have something similar. |

Good point about the creativity thing, i most likley really should just stick with somthing i created and not somthing someone else has already thought of haha, I also agree about similar naming restrictions, but i kinda think that alot of folks would rage if they couldnt get 69DarthMaul69 since DarthMaul was either taken or a prohibited name. Some folks think that adding numbers to their name makes them original. Like for example the name i like is cool and all but i would kinda feel like a chump for just adding some random numbers to it. I guess i need to reach deep into my imagination and think of somthing, even if its stupid it will still be original! |
