Character name exists.

Some scrub stole my name ''Androme'', so I had to name my character ''Androme_''

Wow, I just went to reserve one of my names.

And it was taken.

A name that I invented in another MMO years ago.

Wow...people are faggots.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels this way. GGG really should tie character names to the parent account.

They can still show the character name (unlike D3). They can just add the account name underneath in parenthesis (or however they want to implement that).

It doesn't seem that old accounts will ever be deleted, so the naming issue will only grow larger as names once created are effectively gone "forever". I have a feeling though that policy might change in the future...
It only took a maximum of four tries to get any of the names I've created. I guess creativity trumps randomly named items in your home.

I understand that this is a popular game and all, but can names not be tied to a parent account name? I dont get why in 2013 im having to make up names just to get a character started. after trying over and over again to grab a name that isnt totally rediculus here is where im at.

heres some examples of how farmed names are.

Saltine - Taken
Coffeecup - Taken
Bicycle - Taken
Tubular - Taken

OH! got in with Breifcase, who would of thought?

anywho, a game such as this with as big of a following it has, nobody will be able to grab a name they actually want after every word in the dictionary, and every name in books of names are taken, leaving only mash-up names, and random letters left for the ones that arent just farming names for the hell of it.

Ill continue to play, even with a mash-up name, but this is something that seems to me to be an easily corrected oversight. take d3 for example, Everything is tied to your battletag. You can name all your characters the same thing if you want.

Personally, i would love to see a similar change here.

You're serious? Nobody ever gets the name they "want". Unless of course that name is extremely unique. That's how online games work. Is it so hard to invent a new name? I'll admit I've wasted hours at the character select screen in many games trying to invent new names, it can be frustrating but the results are generally awesome. Why would you want to name all your characters the same name? If you have everyone with similar names you have to resort to the acc name crap, which is the exact same dilemma is it not? Just think up a new name without shitposting on the forums.
Excuse me Sir but you have very limited phantasy. How can that be fixed? Maybe you need some inspiration perhaps.

Just made a Templar named "QuarterPounderWithJeez". guess i'll play with a 2 Hander then ;)
Wanted something different, and that's what I got.

Slurms
Well that sucks. But none of my names were taken. So yup yup. yeah.

ConanTheMarauder
MoistHunt

MoistOne
XXXVIchambers
HallsOfTheBlind
