The yellow needs to be more clearly yellow/brighter, and the orange more orange to make it easier to distinguish between them. How about this : When the symbol is a warning that the name release is implending, make it the upside down triangle like a yield sign and keep it yellow. When the symbol indicates that the name is released, make it a standard stop sign with a black border. The shape of the symbol should be a work around for color blindness with symbols that should already be recognizable.

Looks like US, Canada, Germany and France all have the same stop sign shape at least. I could have always hunted around so more, but I did do a little searching before I posted. 1 If someone posts a reply quoting me and I don't reply, they may be on ignore.

City Council Number Six Posted August 20, 2022 City Council Share Posted August 20, 2022 Re: Color blindness, that is an issue for the warning mode phase but should hopefully not be a long-term problem once the real system is turned on. When enforcement is enabled, the orange icon goes away and is replaced with a red/white one that has an inverted color exclamation point to make it distinctive from the warning icon: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisMoses Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Hi, I haven't read the thread yet, sorry don't have the time at the moment. I just wanted to ask my question and maybe someone will be kind enough to reply before I'm afforded the opportunity to scroll through it all. I created two names two days ago, named I intended to use for new Symphony characters when the issue released. Lo and behold, it's here! I go to delete my placeholder characters to create my Symphonies, and... Name unavailable. It happened once "wow, crazy coincedence," but then it happened again... When you delete a name, does it somehow become unabailable for a period? Does it alert someone who tried to create with that name? How could they both be IMMEDIATELY unavailable upon deletion?!

It's a bug. Create the character with a random name, then rename the character to what you want. It should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UltraAlt Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 (edited) If there is some name that you really want, you can always try getting the name on another server. Each server has its own name pool. I'm assuming most of the most obvious names for a new powerset are going to get picked pretty quickly.
