It's not only good things with popular names, for instance, when i need to contract something from an alt to this character, i get a list of 500+ names on variations of "Skywalker" and my name ain't on top.
Since i started shortly after game launch, i was lucky enough to snatch this name, actually i was surprised it wasn't taken already even back then and i am glad i gave this universe an evil Skywalker in opposite to the movies
And to OP, i don't agree that inactive player names should be free to take, anyone should have the chance to reactivate and start with same character name, all names have their history. |

Some names are worth hundreds of billions of isk though. Yours perhaps included. |

No, it belongs in Features & Ideas Discussion, and that's where it's being moved to.
This is also something that you could being up with the CSM on the appropriate forum if you feel strongly enough about it.

Umm you know that you can change ONE letter in the name, or add an initial and have it sound the same right?
Like Caarl Sagan, or Neill Daegrass Tyson or something (going with your examples).
Also, some of the taken names are by people who have saved the name for themselves by making an alt. -1 on the OPs idea. It is silly. |

I'm kinda happy these names are already taken, that way I don't have to deal with kids running around in my spaceship making "swoosh" sounds or telling me that those aren't the droids I'm looking for. That sort of behaviour upsets the Fedos, and they stink the ship up even more. |

You can have your names reset when Tranq has a full reset.
I used to have 'Officer Dibble' but biomassed some time ago. I did not whine when I found the name taken later. |

This is not the thread you are looking for.
My first thought when I see someone named after some TV or film character is "kids!" and they're never taken seriously again.
So, you're a bounty hunter. No, that ain't it at all. Then what are you? I'm a bounty hunter. |

I know CCP is hopeful of them ever coming back, but this is not a reason for them to be able to clog up the good names.
So i suggest CCP would allow for a taken name to be changed into *faction name here* Citizen *number here* Caldari Citizen 12345678 for example. That way, the ACTIVE players can at least enjoy the cool names.
No this topic does not belong in F&I it belongs here, so as many people can +1 it as possible and it is not an idea, but rather a petition.
Now the idea follows. If you want to have a name cleared and you have figured out that this character just doesn't play anymore ( for at least 3 years ), petition CCP to change that characters name and then you can make a new char with that name.
Hahahahahahahahahahaha.
No.

I have to say no as well. Once a name has been used, it has been used. No need for it to be reset. "Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves." |

The only names I would agree to being "released" (so to speak) are those from trial accounts that never (EVER) subscribed (be it by RL monies or activating a PLEX). If they subbed even one month, that character's here for the duration. GÇ£SandboxGÇ¥ does not mean that you will succeed at anything you attempt; it means you can attempt anything you want to succeed at.

They can't - it would screw up the employment history tabs, on older toons especially. GÇ£SandboxGÇ¥ does not mean that you will succeed at anything you attempt; it means you can attempt anything you want to succeed at. One of the largest obstacles in the way of your success is other players. |

That, and the account should have remained untouched for a suitably long period (10 years?). I'm not convinced name wipes are at all necessary, but were CCP to decide to head in this direction everything should be done to make sure potential returnees are not inconvenienced and the only characters affected are those who we can all be pretty sure are not coming back. Titans were never meant to be "cost effective", its a huge ****.-á- CCP Oveur, 2006

If you havent played in 4 or 5 years it's fair to say you're not going to come back. Sure some do but 99.999% that have been gone that long don't (a dev is welcome to put together a pretty graph telling us how many do come back after being gone x years but until they do I'm gonna say 99.999% for 4-5 years). If you aren't playing then you have no claim to your char's names. I've already spelled out in detail how to keep both reputation and killboards/others ingame notified of any name changes here https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=3378993#post3378993 |

I hope, I will never cross the way of Luke Skywalker, or Han Solo in New Eden. Please guys make your own story don't steal the soul of already great characters as if their were yours.
Try to be creative, and stop with Gandalf, Legolas, Drak Vador, Darth Vader, and so on... An Homage, like Jack Skywalker, have his taste but seriuosly?

From my perspective - characters on old trail accounts should be removed, also old alliances and corporations that have 0 members. You cannot revive them - and they take names/tickers.
From CCP side to manage this will not be problem. Corporations have unique numbers and it is not a problem to just add (Closed) tag in players history to dead corporations.
We talking about tons of this kind of corporations. Tons.
As for inactive characters - well people often come back. Some people have multiple accounts and pay only for ones they use.
