Names should be wiped as well tommorow.

Which is why it wouldn't change anything for the majority of people. It doesn't matter how many players want e.g. the name "Conan" - only one will get it and most likely it will not be you. :-)

How about random names for everyone... really, it doesn't matter what name your character have.

I'll be one of those new players and I don't mind. It's a nice perk for CB players, and those who supported certainly deserved it. As for those who just got lucky, well, they got lucky. And giving namesniping free reign would make sure the more known players would not be able to claim their current name.

The average player will either be creative enough to not be bothered, or care to the extent of calling his character Ixsephiroth5xxI.
I got

So I'm pleased.
Here since Closed Beta. Never found a Mirror. Still love PoE. :- )
I think that those who believed in this game so much that they went out and spent their hard earned money even though they did not have to have more than earned the right to keep their names. For without them, there would be no game, at least not in it's current form.

The pet is a nice way for us to show our support in-game as well, but perhaps a more permanent, always on, way would also be nice. With perhaps a small Kiwi icon next to our character name, colored to match our support level.

Just an idea. :)
ok i actually forgot about the guys that really supported the game with all those packages :>
It's only fair for them to have their names reserved. But i think that the rest (of us) should start as same as the OB players :>

Aren't there only two groups? Those that supported the game and paid for closed beta access and those who didnt? Seems pretty cut and dry. The names should and will stay, its a small perk and I think it's more than fair.

Now imagine the frustration when a fresh out of the closed beta game - that just had it's final wipe - comes out. And the waves of thousand new players comes in.

I am just saying it's not very fair and not a fair start.


and it would be fair to have those players lose their names they had before you?
So you want to change the rights to names from people who registered first to people who get lucky enough to login first tomorrow.

How is that somehow more fair?
Wipe all character names as OP thinks "It's not fair"
