Delete Charachters that are.
*less than 1 millsp *havent paid Subscription for over a 1 year 2 year 3 year, what ever.
Example: a cool name like Cerberus, cannot be used because its taken by this over 3 years old charachter. who ahs no corp history, i havent quite checked if he logged on, but CCP ahs this data.
at the end this doesnt bother me, as iam never going to create another charachter. but for new players to name themselfs using numbers is jsut wrong.
More jokes listening to your Fleet Commander trying his hardest to call primary.
LUULRELAA is primary, 232ddwd2 is seconday,

I was pleasantly surprised that no one had this name... it was my second choice - Dash Riprock was my first, but someone had it already.

The thing is, their are millions upon millions upon millions of possible names that would sound good in EVE (without having to resorting to '1337'names, unless you want to) . Any supposed 'cool' name is only 'cool' because it is in reference to or a copy of something else that is well known.
Anyone who wants to be called Cerberus can be......they just have to use their brain and think of a surname/forename they like...
'Cerberus Mikanto' or 'Cerberus Flyk' or 'Junto Cerburus'
And just because a player only has a million sp or account has been inactive for 'x' amount of time, doesn't mean they won't come back (3 million sp, inactive for 2yrs...)
The only possible way for CCP to do this would be to implement technology wherby if your account is unpaid for a certain period of time, your 'name' is freed, therby if someone else creates a character with that name, they get. If and when the original owner comes back, they are prompted to rename their character (this does happen on some mmo's that have specific theme's and account holders have 12 characters per server and like to sa***uard really good names that are applicable to that theme)
Unfortunatley, it really wouldn't work with EVE, as the game is designed in a way that 1 character is meant to be your focus (only 3 character slots and can only train one of those characters at a time)
And as I said, unless EVE had a few hundred million subscribers who all happened to live in the same country with the same cultural background with the same social upbringing and all have the same parents being born at the same time, then it will be very rare that someone who uses their imagination will come up with the same name

I agree with the OP, there are great names being wasted on no skill alts that are never actually played. Give it up people!

CCP should ve done what guild wars has done, First name and second name. you may have a middle name too. but youc an be called, James only. secondly they disallowed numbers. this should ve been done by CCP at the start, but its too late now.
Also 1 mill sp chars that havent activated for 2-3 years, whats the propability of them coming back? well it was a trial account so therefore if they did coem back they re more likly to start a new account. unless they remembered the login details for over a year.

Wipe the names, put the accounts into stasis with their personal security numbers. To be open for later active duty again under an alias.

Edited by: essex girl on 12/09/2006 23:22:52 Every now and then a forum thread comes up asking that names be re-released into the pool of names available. While an uper limit of 1Mill SP and 3 years would seem reasonable just how many names would it release?
Originality is a great thing. Just a shame we can't impress this on all the kiddies who insist on naming their characters D3athk1llzor'123455 and the like.
/edit: this character was created today just showing that there are still names worth having out there

Removing trial accounts who have never subscribed and have been inacive over a year would be OK in my books. Would free up a few names...

This is getting to be a problem. There are a lot of names which are reserved now by accounts that haven't logged in in years. At this point, CCP should start enforcing the 6 month thing they mentioned so long ago.
A skillpoint cap would be a good idea indeed though - less than xx mil SP doesn't get deleted at all, or at least, later.

Why don't people learn to be original? I promise you'll never have a problem with getting a name.
All 3 slots on this account use the 1st 3 name choices I wanted.

1mil SP isnt a bad idea maybe 1.5mil. SOE has a system in Everquest where every six months about level 1 characters are purged off the system.

For those saying that names which contain numbers should be deleted, allow me to make my argument.
The name you see "in-game" is my handle, Not my name. If eve were real then I for one would NOT fly around with "Stephen Benjamin*****ayne" emblazoned across my ship or being broadcast across space. My friends know me as "Ben" all others know me as "Benco97". I ROLEPLAY a name with numbers in it, those numbers are important to me from a roleplay point of view. I find it alarming that some people would like to have my name changed purely due to it not fitting in with their naming schemes. The Biography tab is where the personal data goes, not into the name.. unless of course you'd also like my age/sex/location to show up too? Yes, that makes sense, if we're all using names that come from a rigid framework of viable titles then why not have that information there too, obviously you'd like my name to tell you all about me so you'd love the idea. Please, i'm tired of people complaining about names with numbers, do you complain to taxi firms and bus companies because you can't see the driver's full name?

If you can't think of a name that's not already taken that shows a quite astonishing lack of imagination. Just make a mental note of anything you think of when you're on the bus or train or suchlike. Surely you have an occasional moment of originality?
You want to pee off someone calling fleet targets? If I had any slots left I'd try "Secondary Primary" or "Secondary Tertiary" or summat. However the first is probably already taken, but I reckon the second is obscure enough.
Another problem with your idea. What if the previous owner of Cerberus was a scammer? Or the opposite, a great guy who you could use his name to rip off old mates?
.. erm, and Holy Jihad as a corp name?
