But would CCP ever consider changing the names of highly inactive players.. To the same degree as inappropriate names. Renamed to "RaceCitizenNUMBERSWITHDATE"
For example.. "Paul" has been in his rookie corp for 4 years, 11 months and 28 days (I will "guess" he hasn't logged or had an active suscription in recently)
I think a reasonable time would be 3 years of no-subscription.
If after three years(lets face it, thats quite a fair time) you don't have an active suscription your name would be changed to a server generated name and recieve the following eve mail from EVE System.
"Dear <old name>
It is our understanding that in three years your account has not been active, therefore we have changed your name to <newname>. Should you now wish to change your name to something more suitable please petition(F12) under "Rules & Policies -> Character Names"
We are sorry if this causes you inconvience.
Yulai Naming Commision."
Im not sure if I'm gonna get flamed for this suggestion, but can anyone disagree that three years of complete inacitivity (No suscription!!) is fair for the name to be freed up? |

They've said they hope to go on for another 10 years.
I think in another five years, it will definitely be, yes. |

There are lots of other (older and/or popular) MMO's out there, did they ran out of names?
Seriously, this is just an extra workload on devs for no real benefit.
Edit: I have 3 accounts and created more than 10 characters in last 6 months (I am a little picky about names), never even encountered a situation where the name i wanted was taken. |

I wasn't referring to Paul, I mean any new name you want to create. And, I'm not sure what the permutation equation looks like but say you are allowed like a 30 letter name... gg there are like trillions of possible letter combinations.
This posts reminds me of the media, trying to make a big deal out of nothing. |

I researched this for a little while previously and all the linkage I've found was them saying no to character wipes rather then character name reassignment

then you need to do more research, they have stated repeatedly that they do not change character names without very specific reasons

was that the time someone said that there were lots of potential names using 1 for I, 4 for A and similar stuff? 1337speak is it?

WoW is the only one i know of thats "More popular" than WoW, mybe guildwars aswell, and afaik, both of those are sharded, meaning 2 people on different realms can share names. Now, in eve, there are Hundreds of thousands of subscriptions, many all using 3 characters just for the hell of it. On one server. Which holds many more people than a realm. Yea. I can see how eve has to be much more worried about lack of creative names than WoW.

I think it should be changed so character names don't limit corp/alliance names and tickers... That's just dumb tbh.
I mean come on my alliance is Sc0rched Earth instead of Scorched Earth because.. well I don't know. But it didn't have to happen if there weren't so many names taken up. --------- Your bad loan management perfectly strikes the stock market, wrecking for -777.68 points. Eve job list |

I agree... dont change names of anyone, leave it as it is. If people want the names, too bad. A name is unique, and should always be unique. |

In eve, all you have is your name. No SSN. No details... JUST your name. That is ALL you have to identify you. THAT is why names arent changed. THAT is why names will never be changed. |
