Name Erased After Certain time
Living Legend
I think after a certain amount of time like after 2-4 months, if you haven't signed on to that character on your account the name should be erased and when you get back on you can change the name or put back the name that was on that character back on there if it's still around. The reason why I bring this up there's some names that people would hope to have as there own, but a lot of people have quit and have kept those names and no one will ever have them, because those players willl never be on again. I know some people that would like to buy those names for in game money but the players are never on or have quit so they never get opportunity to try and get them. I'm not in any way saying to delete the character just the name so someone has the opportunity to get them as there own.

this would also promote playing, as u would have to log in every couple of months...CoH/CoV already does this, and they dont seem to have a problem with it...and their owned by NCSoft too.....

Would you want someone stealing your legal name if you went into a coma, then the government would tell you to pick a new name for yourself?
If someone stole your name, just cuss them out. That's what I did and I got my name back.

/notsigned for erasing your name...however....
Character names stay attached to an account even if characters are deleted.
If you add someone with a specific character name, and later on they delete that name....you still see that name with the () to show the current character name. Which means that name is NEVER disassociated with the account, no matter how long ago you may have deleted that character.

Only reason I can think is so they can pose as an imposter if say the person with the original name had a reputation for being a really good player
Either that or they cant come up with something original and unique for themselves.
xxxx Legolas or Legolas xxxx anyone? or even Darth xxxx

If you are right about that point, then how come people used to complain about having their name stolen by another player shortly after they deleted a character, seeing as that would not be possible under this system?

As for the suggestion, just because someone quits the game, or leaves for a certain amount of time, doesn't mean that they should have to give up their character name just because someone else wants to use it. They bought the game and therefore have the 'right' to reserve the names that for the characters that they've created. Regardless of whether or not they intend to use it again.
As for there being other people who want a particular name, how will this solve the problem? It'll only satisfy one person out of the 'many' who want a popular name. Besides how many times do people type in a name and it tells them it already exists; so in response they write down the name on their friends list just to see if that person is still active? I've yet to encounter someone who's gone so far as to do this and it's more than likely that you just think of a new name and go on with your life.

no - the point of guild wars is you can drop it if you want to, and come back to it later. erasing your name would discourage that, not incourage.

Stupid idea. No other game does this. They just delete your character. Which is fine. Making you change your name isn't.

/worst idea ever
The developer's tout the fact that with no monthly fee you can set the game aside for as long as you want, come back and everything will be waiting for you.
I surely wouldn't want someone stealing "The Real Legolas" from my account..hahaha

Umm, that's stupid. Just be a little bit more original and you won't have this problem.

Caleb Pontiff....u have a char, named "The Real Legolas"????? i think ive seen u b4!!!! lol....err...n e ways...
not signing, becuz if its in effect it would ruin rep's of ppl's ....um.....who has such a great rep that its know to all? .... lol, i mean u dont remember n e 1 in a city/outpost, even if their talking, cuz they're just spammers to u...so the only real way to build a rep (in my mind) would be to team up with A LOT of ppl....and even then, u hvae to be like "HEY, REMEMBER ME, I HAVE A GREA REP, SPREAD IT ALONG" and the only ppl that could do this in reason would be monks, cuz every 1 seems in need of a good monk...
...no i cant think of 1 person that has a good rep...every1 that i thought was cool is on my friends list...and thats like 10 ppl...
and dont even tell me ur rep is based of ur friends list...u could just add them, and they'd never know...and i swear, u go up to a stranger and say "hey im adding u to friends" their gann be like "ok....." so its not that hard to build up "friends"
i would assume theres about 2.5 million+ ppl that play GW...so who has such a good rep that its know to even .001% of all? (omg, dont attempt to calculate that u nerds, its just an estimation!)

hiif you delete a character of yours the name is locked to you for 1 hour so you can create a new character using the same name.
after 1 hour if you havent used it it is free for whoever picks it next
