Guild Wars 2

I will be there at 5am on the dot, got 4 names to reserve so definitely don't want to miss the chance, once reserved I can go back to bed, there's no risk in losing them once I have them as all names are put on hold for 24 hours and tied to your account.

So I can delete the char and remake it how I want to without fear of it getting nabbed.

For a lot of people being able to secure your character names are important. If you use something that other people may want to use as well then 3 days can mean the difference between getting the names you want, or everything being in use already when you finally do get ingame.

Indeed. I need a kind soul who won't nick my names to reserve a couple for me :(.

You realise that once deleted you won't be able to claim them for 24 hours right?

So you will need to time it so that whoever reserves them deletes the names 24 hours before you login for your first play. :)

Also names are global so anyone can reserve the name for you no matter where you plan to play!

There was 10+ in stock when it just came in yesterday.

OcUK should give me a cut of the profits for all the advertising I did in this thread :D

lol i just bought one too just now, i have a razer naga but hate the way it goes nuts sometimes throwing the cursor around the screen, very annoying especially in the beta events as a warrior running up to an enemy then the mouse goes crazy and your running back the way you just came :(

That can't be right? I deleted toons on the beta and used the name on new characters during the same event. Unless of course that was due to me being on the same account as the old character.

At least he would still know that there was a good chance of getting his name:)

The names are account bound for 24 hours.

Wrong, once you delete a character that name is linked to you're account for 24 hours.

No one esle can take the same name but you're able to make a different character with the same name.

*oh silly me, didn't read that he needed someone esle to take the names first on another account. :o

Names are global? As in, not just server or region specific but globally only one person can have that name on a character?

If so, that seriously makes me reconsider not having the 3 day head start...

Yup global, it has to be this way as you can guest to the US servers at any time.
 
A lot of names are most likely already reserved anyway so if you have not got in with that and are planning on using something common I don't think even waiting from 0400 will get you what you want.
 
I've got a physical copy on order but I'm seriously considering cancelling it and getting the digital now, I'm going to be hungover on Saturday and I'm sure the gf has something lined up that doesnt involve me sat about unwashed for the rest of it. Hmm...
 
Are names tied to the lore of the game? In LOTRO, on the Laurelin server your toons name had to sound middle earthish. Or are he going to see iXSup3rPwnz0rl33tsNip3sXi?

What makes you think that?

All names will be deleted and up for grabs on Saturday at 05:00.

The only names reserved are some GW1 players' who had the option to reserve their names. However all GW1 names have two words which means all possible one word names are available and up for the taking.

I am not bothered with the name's I tend to use the same one over and over again and I recently did a search on WoW and I was unique on all servers (just the 1 character)

I also tend to keep part of it in the name so that if i do an alt they know who I am.

maybe we should create a guild for people with awful,unimiganitive names..lol:D:p
