Character name already exist.

Not a good start.

How in 2013, I am not allowed to choose my own hero name? Who should care if it already exists?

Bad bad start.. sad.

I know right. I wanted to use Inigo Montoya for my duellist but it was taken.

I guess you guys could always ask for a refund?

Wow dude, I make a joke and you come across so butt hurt.

If a character name matters that much to you maybe you're playing the wrong game...and as ever_night said, you haven't lost anything.

You could've picked your name, had you supported and joined closed beta hence "reserving" it. ;)

Nowt wrong with how it is now, refreshing to see a game not lose quality by catering to all the entitlement & holding everyone's hand throughout.

my advice? come up with a name that's unique to you, not one that is after a famous character that probably has a huge fanbase. There are a load of name "generators" - pick one you think is cool that people are unlikely to pick and you will never have a problem.

Good answers.

But still, I just think it is sad that names are *reserved*. I wanted Burnie, which is the name I use in every games because it was my nickname when I was playing sports and his the name that means something to me.

Character names are important when you want to immerse yourself into an imaginative world.

Ah well, Burniez was not *reserved*, so I guess I should be happy.

True, true. I could see a "Burnos", "Burneon" or "Burnin" walking Wraeclast. Just some ideas :-).

Character names in PoE are truly unique. I really like that.

They sure are, I seen a guy yesterday called Hitler was right.
