I'm not too sure if there's a thread about this.
So who's planning on doing this, and who already made a character for the sole purpose of reserving said name?

I know I am.
Though Hiroyuki will no longer be the name of my main knight, he will still be a character of mine. Just no longer in red.

Yes, I always reserve tons of several names. I can't stand calling myself Raz2436 or xXXKaiyoXXx or something like that.

I'm not sure if I'll keep Carlsagan. I made it on a whim, not knowing the preview event would last almost 6 months and that there wouldn't be any character wipes during the preview. In other preview events, I went by other names. I don't feel very personally tied to the name Carlsagan, but a lot of people know me as Carlsagan... soooo, I don't know. I may keep the name, but it most likely will not be the name of my main knight.

I think I will play all three of Icarus, Aecarus, and Aeca, perhaps so I don't feel as bad for claiming them all. (I would also retake Chronus, my oldest character, if it weren't for the fact that there is now a GM named Cronus, and an account can only hold 3 Knights at once.) If you see any of these three in-game, it's probably (hopefully) me. I think I'll stick with the nice deep azure blue for all of them, as I have done in the past. See you all on Friday!

Keeping my name

I'm definitely keeping my name. Being in a preview event helps because you don't have to add random numbers or characters to your name to get it accepted. Radz is the common aspect of most of my online identities and it's nice to be able to just simplify it to Radz instead of having a "last name" and telling everybody to just call me Radz.

I didn't know names would be

I didn't know names would be saved after release, so I didn't reserve the names I really want... hopefully I'll be able to get them.

I keep my name I used before and the color green stays the same. So if someone sees me as Timewalker... well that's me. :P

I wasn't aware you could use anything but letters in names.

I wasn't aware you could even have characters aside from letters in your name. A few months ago, I could have sworn all you were allowed was letters, and the first letter was the only capitalized. Though, this may have changed due to the recent, and possibly future, influx of players... but then again, I haven't seen a single name with anything contradicting what I've stated.

Where does it say your character names are reserved? Is there something you have to fill out for it or is it automatically reserved?

As far as I knew, all characters were wiped and you can recreate them when it opens on April first. However this would mean someone could actually steal your name. Anyone have some sort of different information on that?
