So many ways to go with this. First how many names are so popular that it’s is really necessary? I have, maybe, tried 1 name that was taken. (Willy Nilly) Great name hope it’s a fun toon for you.
My kids are frequently deployed for months to years at a time, so there is a good chance they will loose several of their toons. I know another player. Hasn’t been on since the first month it was back, has well over 100 50’s with great names, and someday when his kids are grown, and he gets back on, his toons will be there.
I regularly shut off my xp at all different levels, some as low as 10. I also have a few “Seasonal” toons. Marion Bright is a Krampus so she is largely in hiding during the summer months. Isn’t there a better way to weed out the accounts of people who have lost interest, died, or moved on?
