Hello.
Just logged in to leave some feedback, as I'm not looking forward to this particular change.
Why? Well, this game is particularly punitive on power-leveling, since it locks you out of most content once you reach lvl 50. Ouroboros is only a bandaid, and not really an answer - it doesn't unlock regular contacts for you, so they'll keep treating you as a stranger once the flashback is over - you don't get their phone number, they don't sell you inspirations, and more importantly, they don't show up as friend/confident on your contact list. Ouroboros merely lets you play a small selection of the missions and hand you a clue. Access to regular content actually requires you to keep your toons unleveled, to turn xp-gain off every 5 levels. It's good to have a few max-level incarnates for iTrials and Hami-runs, but if you enjoy the leveling experience, it might conceivably take you around 2 months or so to reach max level. On my account, I have exactly 3 pages of planned toons (i.e. 30 characters), which will realistically reach max level in around 5 years (2 months each). It sounds reasonable to me that I get to keep their names.
If this change goes live, my workaround will be to power-level every toon to at least lvl 21, then log those toons once a year. When it's time to play that toon, delete it and start over. It does sound like a chore, hence why I don't like this change. Yes, it frees up names, but I don't really need them, I'd much rather keep my own.
A few suggestions:
1) Consider applying this policy only to inactive accounts (at least one year without activity), so it'd be 1 year, plus the mentioned 30 / 60 / 365 days till the name gets freed up.
2) Consider postponing this policy until you implement a better answer to outleveling regular contacts.
Thank you for reading.
