Character names stolen from me?
I agree with the OP. When I read the "one year inactive" news I cycled through all my characters just to keep my names.
I wish GGG had changed the naming system from "character name" to "character name @ account name" like it befits an online game of PoE's scale, but I fear there is nothing to be done at the moment. |

"You didn't need to cycle through all your characters. You just need to have logged into the game with the account once in the last year. If you take a year off, I don't think it's unreasonable to free up the names. How do they know you will ever come back? Guild Leader The Amazon Basin <BASIN>

" What are you paying GGG to play this game? You haven't even logged into PoE for over a YEAR. You should be glad that they didn't wipe inactive chars. |

Me, one of the more salty posters, sitting back and thinking the posts here are crossing the line a bit probably comes as a surprise. I guess it's open season on the old school supporters that helped get the game up and running. Shots Fired! but who cares about the old school players anyway. Might as well strip us of our titles, our character names, and our pride and kick us all to the curb. Kind of glad I post with this account and not that emberassingly old closed beta supporter one. On a serious note now. OP you will be sad to hear that during your break from the game GGG recycled inactive character names. They tried to send out warnings and I guess you were missed or you didn't get an email. Chin up friend, you can try and steal one in turn. echo "The world is full of smart people" |sed -e 's/smart people/sheep/'

" Ouch. Surprised I missed that email. Have Been away a lot but never expected my characters to be name locked upon returning. I had always felt that first week supporter packages became available that it meant so much to the company back then. Low blow indeed, considering you can chain long names with the _ etc.? Gee, thanks GGG. |

The year is 2015 and we cant have the name we want, progress ppl .
I mean realy why is it not possible to make a system were everyone can use the name they want? I refuse to belief this is not possible. [Removed by Support]
