That show was awesome!  The Smithsonian had a big display about a decade ago about the show and how it was a key factor in the expansion of the paramedic program in the United States.

 

The full story is really amazing.  For once, primetime TV was not just amusement, but a powerful, positive force for change.

 

I really need to find that show and rewatch it.

I had no horse in this race (There weren't any particular names I was looking to grab, and I was in no danger of losing any). But I am frankly surprised at how many folks are managing to get the exact names they wanted. I'm happy for them, but it also makes me kinda sad, because it implies that there were a bunch of folks who signed up early on, snagged good names, and then just quit playing for whatever reason.

I kinda agree with this...and kinda don't. HC made an epic mistake in giving 1,000 slots per shard. Ridiculous. They still refuse to reduce that number.

 

I think enough warnings went out and if people didn't log in to save their names etc, then maybe they don't care to play anymore.

I half expected there to be a sudden market selling names. Still might happen, like way back when people were snatching up company names when the internet got popular. People grabbed company .com names and were selling them. No idea how successful they were in that.

The really horrible thing was, this started when it was still against the rules to use the Internet to make money. Didn't take long for that rule to go away. Money tends to do that.

I didn't realize there were other people that got excited to get their pets' names.  That's so awesome. 🙂

Chloe is the name of one of my cats.    And one of my globals is named for a cat I used to be a caretaker for.  (It's probably not very common,  mistranslated Lebanese...)

 

I did name a bunch of cats at a rescue after some Champions characters...

The same can be said about Star Trek.  For the rest of his life after Star Trek, James Doohan (who played Scotty) had people telling him that they had decided to become engineers because of his character.

 

Regarding the thread topic, I checked and Alloy is still not available on Everlasting.  I have him at level 50 and fully incarnate over on Excelsior.

I also checked Speedfire and that is available.  I decided not to bother renaming Speed-Fire (fire/kin corr) since he's also 50 and fully incarnate already.  And I don't need a new one.  If Alloy had been available, I would have made a new one and leveled him on Everlasting.

I got my first name back. 🔽  I'd deleted it after a few extra characters, because I never liked what I'd created.  I'm going to try again.

I don't there is anyplace streaming it for free. A bunch of places have it but you have to buy it.

I think Dixie came out OK. It's not a complicated costume. I'll probably continue to tweak it a bit.

Another one of my characters has lost their name, this time it's the Mad Hare.  Another participant in the Great Zodiac War, this time on the side of the Dragon as a member of the Cursed Zodiac.

 

I never got around to a backstory for this guy, just a look.  And, in my opinion, it's quite a look.  I'll come up with another name soon enough, I suppose. 

 

To the newly christened Mad Hare out there, happy hunting to you and enjoy the name.  Perhaps someday our two hares will cross paths.

Be sure to read the best seller "Hare Care!" by his siblings, March Hare, Wild Hare, Dyed Hare, Crazy Hare, and Short Hare or he makes a visit. 😁

Is it possible to use the Large Exposed Brain with the Rabbit Ears?  If so, perfect look for Hare-Brained.  😉

Wonder where the naysayers are that said NO ONE would get any names they wanted when this went live.

Sorry, had to ask

I'm still here.  😝
