How do you know? Are you a programmer or a Dev? Alot of things can be done these days with programming. The policy is fair in your opinion. To be honest I dislike it enough to consider leaving and I have heard some other people say the same thing already. I shouldn't have to be punished and have names stolen just because I am too busy to play a "login all my characters" game. That is just unfair.
A dev stated somewhere it would be too much work to modify the way names are handled.
I accept this method and will periodically check for the one name I actually want. Doubt it will ever pop up but that is ok.
The best? So many to choose from.
Definately not the Lost, always thought the guy with the TV on his head looked dumb.
Torn between the Hellions and the Carnies. Love them both.
