    It seems by removing these statistics from the public Social Census Data it (dare I say) empowers inactive players to continue to troll DCUO.

    • Date Character Created (removed at least temporarily)
    • Date of Last Login (removed at least temporarily)
    • Total Time Played (removed at least temporarily)

    1.) Created Own Name / Character.
    2.) Consistent Naming Theme in subsequent Characters.

    That's how I got around potentially being locked out of the name I wanted. I made something original instead.

    If you want a name someone else already has... maybe you should examine the creativity of making the 50,000th 'Goku' and go a different route instead. Or do what everyone else in that situation does and name your character 'xoxoOXOXSSJ5SAIYAJINGODGOKUXOXOoxox 243'.

    It also benefits all those players that do not want that information shared. So, it is not just affecting players you deem "inactive".

    What if I didn't want to? Why can't I treat my characters the way I want to? Why does it have to be by the standards of others?

    That's a good point as well. Perhaps like someone said earlier a middle ground could be reached.

    Ummmm....2! did I win?

    Also again we are talking about MILLIONS of abandoned accounts....

    You crack me up with all the Legendary envy you seem to have, and all the "real life" schtick. No one is saying you need to log in every day as you like to say so very often or even once a week or once a month or every 6 months.
    Sheesh:rolleyes:

    He did mention it, and I would look for it to happen. Why? Because it's the right thing to do and the majority of the community knows it. Expect the devs to give everyone proper warnings and every opportunity to keep their name if they have any interest in continuing to use it. While some people will refuse to see the good in this, think about it. Either thousands of names will be free for the entire playing community to use, or hundreds to thousands of players will log back in to keep their name and just MAYBE decide that they would like to make this game a regular thing.

    The positives far outweigh the negatives. I'm definitely for seeing names freed or seeing a boost in the population. Let's do this.

    I admit I didn't read through all 9 pages, but here's an idea that has been stated probably before, different languages. An example, this morning I made a Wolf form knight. KnightWolf was taken. Did I get mad? No. I took the French word for wolf and named her KnightLoup.

    Despite what some people are saying, this isn't a thread about how difficult it is to come up with a name. It's about how reasonable it is for the devs to free up names that are no longer in use. Maybe you could start your own thread about name creations.

    Knightwolf is a CR 89 Rage Hero, who may actually be active. Knight Wolf is a Level 3 Light Villain, with enough zeros to suggest she hasn't been on in years.

    Which I have already addressed if you'd learn how to read

    KnightLoup dont have the same ring to it that knightwolf has...it's a plane, its a bird..its knightloup! It's nice but you'd talke wolf if you could, this is why the inactive names MUST be freed!

    KnightLoup sounds wrong on so many levels.

    Why not go all the way and call him "Le ChevalierLoup"??
