Character name already exist.

point of fact u cant have whisper chat system and have ppl running around with the same names.

plus cant say as i know of a game this style that names aren't reserved, so im wondering maybe is this you first game and if so, first of all good choice and secondly get used to names not being available to u in future games

they did not wipe character names when they should had.

Burnie is a horrible name anyway,

Someone ruined my day by ninjaing Ouroboros, my 5 year old nick I use for everything. Then I tried Nemesis and Raziel - taken. Then I made a marauder called Django, taken. DjangoUnchained - taken.

EVERY SINGLE NICK TAKEN! *RAAAGE*

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.

As a general tip, you are *never* the only one who want to use common names. While I see why you want to use the name Burnie, it's sadly not very uncommon. If you were to stick to it, I bet you'll have a big issue in more or less all games that requires you to have a unique name for your charater. My suggestion is to make a more unique name instead, something that's not very likely someone have already thought about.

Look at it this way: I tried EverQuest 2 the other day, and instead of finding a name for my char, I simply clicked Random. And guess what? I had to click four times to find one that wasn't in use. :) When I made my second character there, I first clicked random a few times to find a name I liked, then altered it a bit to suit me better and make it more unique. I'm a fan of the Dead or Alive games, and one of my favorite characters there are Ayane. But it's quite a common name, so naturally it's usually taken. No worries, I just put an 'N' in front and got Nayane. It's worked in every game I've tried. ;) I like Mortal Kombat, but naming my character Kung Lao obviously won't work often. No worrkes, I just change it to Lung Kao, and there you go. ;)

As for Burnie, have you thought about Lord Burnie, or something like that?

Just a suggestion: Make an unusual name and stick with it.

Believe me, Pizzarugi wasn't my first choice. Pizarro (based on a Spanish conquistador) was my first choice, but people have been taking them in several games so I had to improvise. Enter Pizzarugi, bam!

You might think statements like this through a bit more before prepending the phrase "point of fact" to them.

I see no reason that one non-unique identifier cannot map to multiple unique identifiers. It's been done before.

point of fact: i stand by my statement, thank you very little

its an online game, having multiple characters with the same name would not work.

simple as that :)
