No, you do not need to be Han Solo, James T. Kirk, Paul "Muad'Dib" Atreides, or Dark Helmet.
Get out there and create your own damn mythos.
Thank you.

Originally by: Emily Spankratchet I know this makes me sound like a self-obsessed roleplayer, but I'm not. I just get slightly sad when I see names that break my immersion in the game.
I agree, Ms....... Spankratchet....

Still waiting for Nifty to get reprocessed 
The annoying thing is that char was reprocessed once and recreated, but I missed the window.
Oh well, stuck with this slightly annoying 1337 speak name. |

Unfortunatly the avergae person isnt very creative, personaly I'd rather see some of the obvious names than all the L3g0las.
I started a trial char years ago with an awsome name, despite wanting to I can't even delete him (lost password and account details, don't even know what Email addres I signed up with). But he still shows up on char searches even 4 years afterwards, it's pointless...

This.
Would it be so bad to auto-delete TRIAL characters that were never activated and have not logged in for over 1 year? Heck 90 days is probably reasonable.
~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ Take away the risk and it would make flying around in space utterly pointless.
Take away the flying around part and you make EVE into a space themed spreadsheet application. |

I agree it's hardly fair that people who are paying to play are denied a name that someone may never use again, say they started playing on the first day and then they quit and never play again so now the people who are actually paying and playing are denied the name they want just because someone else made it and may never play again. This is the reason I agree something like this should happen. |

Here's a thought. Many of us who have been in the game a long time know someone, either in RL who played or we only knew in game, who has died. I count myself in that number.
Whatever the "fairness" of all the good names being taken is to new players Imagine seeing the "ghost" of your friends character flying around. My firend is safely ensconsed in a station in the Corp he helped found. I pleased his name will never be handed over to someone else.
Also I absolutely refute your idea that the good names have all gone I have created and recycled loads of alts for various reasons in my 4 years in Eve and have never had to resort to the unimaginative "D34thKillz0r978123" type names. I will however admit that I currently have a very unimaginative "Muttz Alt" but that is by choice not out of need.  . |

Edited by: Lucille Austero on 14/04/2008 19:26:04 Edited by: Lucille Austero on 14/04/2008 19:24:34 so by "good names" you mean names taken from pop culture? surely the internet is vast enough for you to come up with something "good"? or perhaps you're waiting for Target or Old Navy to tell you what to name your toons... i'm sure you could arrange to get "jenny spitfire" i hear that name is available.

I like the fact that they never delete characters. I know several people who have taken 2+ year breaks and returned.
You'll just have to think of a more original name.

I think it can make the "People and Places" search a little messy since you'll usually just get a list of dead characters and corporations but having names taken themselves can be quite a new challenge. I found a 7-letter one-word name less than two months ago. And you can pronounce it. :o

Originally by: Roxanna Kell People can jsut add the XxWinterblinkxX if they want a name and its taken, what you gonna do to stop that?
Adding X's to a name just so you can have (sort of) the same name as 20 other people who also have some combination of X's and V'x on it is ghey. AoL, circa 1995. It was corny then, and it's even worse now imo. XvXvvvxxgxvXXvxWinterblink isn't going to make anyone say "wow, that guy has a cool name - 'Winterblink'", it's going to make people say 'wow, that guy couldn't think of his own ******* name so he had to put a bunch of X's, V's, and a g on the front of it just to get it in - what a tard'.

Rocky Rambo or in the case of Jenny Freakazoid Spitfires suggestion coming real Rocky Road Rambo.
This reminds me of playing old roleplaying games with a mentally challenged then associate of mine, we were younger then mind you and he was very into wrestling and named his barbarian Dragon Hogan after Ricky The Dragon Steamboat and Hulk Hogan. He then persued to try to wrestle everyone we came across, the D&D barbarians having some skill called wrestling at the time and me and the GM were both 'c'mon there are 6 guys and they all have swords, enough with the dropkicks!'
He's hooked on WoW these days, small surprise.

That's why I like relaxed naming policies. What if CCP forced xXxxXXxxLegolasSniperzXxxX to change his name? You wouldn't know he's a tard until its too late.
