== Content ==
			I will try to find some interesting houses to see :)	
----
			Update our guild info as much as possible, clean out inactives from the OOC circle to make space for (hopefully) new members, check bank and guild bank, and other admin-type things.  Then adventuring and maybe dungeoning!	
----
			Reserve names	
----
			Names first. Then start looking for a guild finally, probably try out a couple of them. *Crosses fingers for guild that raids with friendly PST times and participates in PvP like battlegrounds and arenas*	
----
			Like everyone else, names! :) 	
----
			Guild management type stuff (cleaning out inactive members, cleaning up the guild bank and listing things on AH/CX for guild bank funds), log on and name all my toons, roll my Dominion alt to join Skullkickers, and level crafting and do some mat farming. I'm interested to see how the economy is in the first few weeks.	
----
			Check if my char has not been deleted. If it has been deleted and/or Carbine *cupcake*ed something up as usual (slightly exaggerated), complain here in the forums + support ticket; if not: log out and don't care (as usual) about the game until raid, tomorrow.	
----
			Play my medic.	
----
			
Log in, secure my names for at least 4 of my characters. Guild clean out. Circle clean out.
Poke my head into zone chat. Recruit. Play. Raid.	
----
			
Names, then check and see what everyone else has picked for names. :)
 
Check how the capitals will be and then I will start intense house-viewing. :P
 
Can't wait actually!	
----
			Try to PVP	
----
			I'm gunna book it for farside and do some raptor moon-jumping. Then dailies. Then maybe bother the silly exiles in Thayd.

----
			
Gather every able bodied player in Illium and lead as large a raid on Thayd as possible!
I still need more Aurin tails to finish the skirt of my dress!
 
 
Well actually...maybe that's the 5th thing I'll do...
 
First thing other than the obvious would be going through my characters inventory and making sure everything is intact.	
----
			Names and grind R12 / dailies rep on my alt. Check the forums for any news on when the rune changes might finally come.	
----
			
1) Reserve names.
2) Make sure my plot hasn't changed or got messed up. I say it's a 50/50 chance something will go wrong.
3) Make sure my settings & options are still correct. They always mess this stuff up.
4) Probably some new bindings & settings to set.
5) Make sure my key bindings are still correct. This will probably get messed up too by the patch.
6) Update all my add ons.	
----
			
reserve names
goof around with people in thayd
funny business as usual	
----
			
Choose names for all my characters
Check to see if anything went wrong / broke / imploded / went supernova
Check the AH/CX for deals
Put auctions back up
Gather data for my State of Challenges report now that there are far more people around
That's about it.	
----
			Since I returned to the game late last night I will be looking for a raiding guild to roll with. Hope to to find one that starts around 7 pm pst. Seems hard to find that these days..	
----
			
0. Check characters still exist.
1. Names.
2. Log into partner's account, do names for her, too (with her blessing).	
----
			
1.) Pick my names.
2.) Fix my addons.
3.) Do what I do every Thursday night:  Raid.	
----
			Frantically watch for feedback for something that has gone wrong, and hope that all continues to go according to plan :P

Login, play for 30 seconds, and come to forums to complain. What else?
 
Just kidding. I'll do my dailies as I have done in the past three months. What else?
 
Still kidding! Well, probably not, but first I'll check the new market on the CX and AH. Can't wait for the merged economy.

You don't think I'm actually running the scripts do you? While I am technically inclined, I'm still management. For this level of script juju I leave it to the experts on the team :) There will be a bunch of waiting for me too today.... actually let's hope there is a lot of waiting for me, because if I'm heavily involved that means something Went Boom™.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Chua innocent if goes boom!
Cougar able to reveal little secret and tell if still on schedule?
----
			
Buy CREDD!
 
I guess this is we will see type of thing but if its cheap might scoop up another couple free months of game play.

			Wish that they didn't still have region locking.	
----
			
Check to make sure all my characters are alive and well, then reserve names and surnames. Then, check to see if all my friends still exist on my social panel. Then probably do lots of battlegrounds and dailies. Oh, maybe I should correlate all their bank inventories now that they'll all be on the same server...
 
So much to do.	
----
			
Login seamlessly.
 
You heard it here first!!!!   :ph34r:	
----
			
Names! Have my more serious RP/Lore characters to sort out, as well as some fun names.
 
After that, going to make the push to get my Draken Warrior lady to 50 (10 more levels to go) ready for the next drop and then maybe level my Exile alt. :)	
----
			
Name my characters
 
Check the auction house for decor
 
Chat people up in zones, especially housing
 
Look for new houses to visit, maybe plug mine a bit
 
And I've been thinking of trying the raid scene, so I might force myself to finish the attunement line...	
----
			
Log in rename toons.
Do some recruiting for guild
Find nearest thicket circle and start paul bunyoning peoples trees.
Maybe do some dailies or if the guild does a makeup raid from today.	
----
			Grab a few names I've got my heart set on, while praying frantically that the authors of my favorite addons are still interested enough in the game to post updates.	
----
			Sort out names...then guild hunt :D	
----
			Log in, check 2s, realise it's only 1 team playing as always and log out.	
----
			Verify with all 100 of my screenshots to make sure nothing is missing. 	
----
			
1) Get my names
2) Find a mature, large guild
3) Group up and get *hit done! :)
 
Looking forward to playing too much and missing lots of work! 
 
Thank you devs!	
----
			
Looks like everyone has the same general idea:
 
1) Reserve all my names
 
2) Log in, re-post all auctions
 
3) Dailies/PBGs and cap out on EP
 
4) Maybe level my Esper alt if I have time, depending when the servers go up.	
----
			Lead a 300 man raid to Illium and see how mega these megaservers are.  If that fails prob just have a 300 man dance party.	
----

1. Names.
 
2. HOUSING MADNESS	
----
			
The first thing I will do when Megaservers go live is start the game up :D
 
Seriously though, I will be working on renames, going through my inventory for stuff I have been holding on to for AH/CX, and continue to contemplate if I want to do the whole "List this junk item for an obscene amount so I can get money to my opposing faction alt" :P	
----
			
1) Names :)
2) Crafting!
3) List all my crafted goodies on the AH!
4) Stress over ThaydFest stuff :D	
----
			
Get my names.  
 
Find some nice RP circles and try to make new friends.
 
Worry about just how bad lag might be in the main cities.	
----
			I guess I have a few hours left to finalize my names. I'm not sure what I want to do. Maybe I'll shake things up and totally rename all my characters. I've been using the same moniker forever. This is a good chance to make that change.	
----
			Continuing my mission to keep CB/NW chua-free zones.

ya know...thinking about it I would laugh so hard if everything goes incredibly smooth and when servers came up...the ONE thing that goes wrong.THE ONE THING....
 
 
the servers have typos in their names...

Do we really have to reserve our names? The way I understand it, we get to keep our first names, and will have to add a last name when we log in the first time? Sorry, I've been away for some time, and only returned last night.
 
Anyway, the first thing I will do is find a wide, open space, make sure there are no obstacles there, make sure no one is watching, then raise my hainds in the air, while running around in a circle and laughing hysterially from happiness. Until I realize the Dominion-side is still dead, then switch to Exiles. :p

Hi, my name is Nephele _______, and I play on Teh Etnity.  No, really, that's the name of the server :D
----
			Ooh I quite like the sound of the etnity :D	
----
			after mandatory name stuff...BOOM BOX! what else?!	
----
			
Before servers are up - flail around trying to find a better last name idea for my Chua engi.
After servers are up - Reserve names, and go greet my new formerly-Stormtalon neighbors. Evindra felt pretty decent with the number of people around, so I'm hoping with the glut of folks on Stormtalon and the stragglers from everywhere else, the main cities will be bustling with tons of activity tonight.
 
I can't wait to see everyone's houses! So many new places to visit.

1) Names!!
2) Boombox opening!
3) Compile funds and bank crap into one character after deleting any alts i don't like anymore.
4) Do crafting dailies.
5) Make sure my housing is in order and that i still have my neighbors.
6) Do a happy dance.	
----
			Hopefully be able to play the game without 2 hour queue times.

2) AH/CX
3) maybe make six new characters :)

			I shall log in to watch the EPIC BATTLE to secure the name "Captain Tightpants"	
----
			
1.) Cry because I will not be home to play
2.) Repeat	
----
			Be a big gay criminal space rat.. Same same as usual, yes..	
----
			Sort characters, figure out my names, and then stalk the auction house.

			Yeah, that was sort of my point. :p So there's not really any need to rush into the game to reserve the name. The chance of someone using both your names (first and last) are very small, unless you stick to very common names. :) And sorry, enough off-topic now.	
----
			
1 log on
2 rename all charaters
3 enter nexus
4 initiate dance party in the middle of thayd
5 sit back and read chat...

			Going to get my alt to level 50 so I can start getting him geared, That was the funnest part about leveling up and since iv'e got mostly all bis on my stalker I can't wait to start another toon!

First things first, Re-naming all my characters to _____.  
 
Bloody Ballz, _____ is already taken, ARRGH <Cupcake> it! I'm so sick of coming up with...you know what? Bonerfarts! All of the...that's right, I'm naming all my characters Bonerfarts, now!
 
....
 
The Terms and Service Agreements says I can't call them 'BonerFarts'....Well, back to the drawing board.

			Do last names appear on screen, or are they just not visable?For example if i call myself fred flinstone, will my name be seen by others as just fred, and on my character sheet its fred flinston?I ask, becuase im splitting my name into two, and i want it still too all show on screen to others :)

Not sure why everyone is so worried about "reserving names". I'm not a math expert but remembering back to my high school days, considering the amount of words in the English lexicon (hell you can use any word from any language that uses our standard alphabet), the different possible combinations must be endless.
 
The chances of someone else getting the name you wanted before you will be the results of one of two things: extreme luck as the chances really are astronomical or extreme uncreative name like....Fred Flinstone.

			Idle frippery of the worst kind.

Fix names
Debate re-rolling so I can I see how the population changed. 
Wait for the actual drop..
 
I'm caught up with so many different things right now I'm just still not sure I'm coming back, but I'll hold subbed for a month or two more.

1) Name's already picked, Lock in will occur in 5, 4, 3, 2.......... thanx naming guide.
2) Go do some daily action in the Zones
3) I Missed out on doing R12 event the last 2 nights, Aussie time b/c there weren't enough people, gana check out the same time tonight. (PS the night before this we did it with 7ppl and had a ball, better feeling than the usual faceroll anyday)
4) As always, I will just keep on killing things, praying to the mighty RNG goddess for a nice drop

John Smith reeks of uncreativity. Also common names may not randomly sample but nicknames sure could. If we take the world of superheros for example...Bruce Wayne aka Batman etc etc
 
EDIT: btw, will you be using Throatwarbler Mangrove? If not do you mind if I do? lol that is one helluva name!
