Technically it's not impossible, but it would require a lot more work than it seems like it should and would risk breaking a lot of other things too that rely on identifying a specific character or account (the auction house, for example). Beaten@DeadHorse There's nothing to "rectify" -- accounts on HC are free. Since you, me, and everyone else can create as many accounts as we feel like with nothing more than an (also free) email address, we all have an effectively infinite number of character slots, whether there are 1000 of them on each account or 10. Reducing the number of slots per account wouldn't mean anyone had fewer slots, it would just mean some players would have a harder time remembering which of their fifteen logins has the level 25 fire blaster they're trying to alt to for that Citadel TF that's filling up fast. Plus that person would have fifteen different global names instead of one, so communication with them would be more difficult and confusing, too. Imagine trying to email inf between alts in that situation! Uuuuuuuuuuuuuh....I feel you kinda made my point for me. I know MANY would make a variety of accounts but I think there are also many who couldn't be bothered (like me). I don't game much and this is still my fave game so maybe I'm not the usual type here. However, I am pretty sure fewer slots would've reduced the name hoarding - to what degree, I don't know....maybe a little...maybe a lot... 🙂
TheMoneyMaker Posted May 11 Posted May 11 You're entitled to feel that way, but the many that would create alternate accounts to hoard names would not only be taking those names but also be removing @global names from the available pool. There may be some inconvenience to having multiple accounts, but since they're free people would create as many as they want to make sure they reserve the names they want. Also, fewer people hoarding names doesn't guarantee that any of the names you want would be available... it might mean that the fewer people would just have more names to hoard among themselves. But you feel however you want. There's no putting the genie back into the bottle now, so no knowing one way or another if you would be right or not.
