150033-surnames

			Hello! Originally I played wild star when it had first came out. So it;s been awhile. I know it's probably not fixable but I have one huge gripe. When the game was coming out I sat the forever trying to get my name reserved, and was pretty stoked to get it. Now I come back and see you have to rename your character, and only to find my names been taken? I may be a little late but that seems like a pretty huge slap in the face to the original players. Now I get that you can just add something to the last name and make it "unique" but cmon.. We all know "Master Chief" is wayyyy cooler than "MasterChief (insert "unique" last name)". Master Chief wasnt what I reserved, just an example.

			I've been playing since launch.  The surnames happened with they did the big megaserver merge, creating some duplicates.  Sure it sucked for a moment to have to come up with something extra but I think most people (myself included) got over it fairly quickly.

			The most I can suggest is go through the random names, I was about to name my chua the usual Necromancer Jeff and then Tanonti Wonti scrolled by and I found a winner. Not sure what the random naming is like for other races but for Mordesh and Chua they are all pretty unique and I don't think a lot of people choose the random names so those might be a good option. If you're not into picking the random names then I'm sorry to say that that's where my suggestions end, I can easily come up with good backstories but names I draw a blank on.

			This was hashed out over and over again when they first announced the merges. Much butthurt was had. True, it was kind of a slap, but it was a necessary slap and it helped bring all of the players together in a more consolidated space. I remember I got online about 3 minutes after the Servers went back up to get my names lol

			welcome back to the game.  all that happened such a long time ago.  shouldnt have left!

			Oh! Don't forget! If you're on a PvE server now, make sure you've logged in on your characters within the last 30 days or when the PvP mergers come, if someone there has the same name and has logged in while your character hasn't, they get the name.
