Thread: Server Migration Naming Rules

  1. #21
    Okay, I lost 2 bot names, these should be treated differently and go straight to Born Date, since being logged in only on chat server isnt a real login or counts as played time, that is the only fair way to judge who has the right to that name. Also, what happens if someone doesnt log in and grab a name they have won for several months? As far as I know logging into chat isnt a real login, so I could have had a bot since 2003 running , but someone who made a new one yesterday would win coz he logged in most recently.

    Tried using the /name nick method to change my toons name's back to what they were previously...

    got this: "[Name-Request]: The name that you have requested violates a rule in the naming filter. We cannot change your name to the one you have requested."

    WTH? It was fine for ages...and somehow they now violate the naming filter? They are in no way profane or anything like that.

    Previously, the filter apparently did not check for existing names. And if nobody reports you / authorities notice, you keep flying with it under the radar. Now you're screwed.

    Out of curiosity: whats the names?
    ಠ_ಠ

    [Name-Request]: [Merge Character Name Change Service] You have submitted a request for a name change. Your new character's name will be "Torban". If this is correct please log out for 5 minutes while we submit your name change request. If "Torban" is NOT correct, simply type /name nick [newname] again to select another name. Please note that once you have logged out and your name change is processed you will not be able to use this service again.

    I do not know if it works yet ...

    edit: I logged off and waited the 5 or so minutes and re-logged ... it worked for me at least.
    This worked for me also, but funcom should have made more of an effort to tell people how to do this, at least make a sticky post or something.

    I got the same message, and I have even been in contact with Ilaliya before merge about the nick (which is the name of a city) and there was no mention of it being in violation with any rules. Currently awaiting mail-response from customer support.

    I'm pretty sure that's just the standard message if you try requesting a lost (and now reserved for someone else) name. It means all the "taken" names were added to the naming filter, not that your name is offensive or violates the naming policy. So everyone can stop freaking out (as much) now. :P

    OK, fair enough. Will inactive toon names be freed up after a period of time and available again (couple of weeks/months maybe?), or is everything final now?

    Okay, what is with this?

    [Name-Request]: We are sorry but you are not able to request names with numbers in them. This is a rule set down by the game system and cannot be changed at this time.

    I was going to rename my lost characters names to include RK1 at the end. This was allowed before, and now it's apparently not possible.

    Well .... until People of Rubika is back up, try your name as a new froob toon to see if it is available. If you can start the froob toon with your choice of name ... delete the froob and turn in your name change request.

    Otherwise wait for people of rubika so you can simply check if your new name choice is available rather than getting the "does not pass filter test" messages.

    [Name-Request]: The name that you have requested violates a rule in the naming filter or is a reserved name. We cannot change your name to the one you have requested.

    I got this response when trying to get back the nick on one of my toons.
    Only reason for it to be reserved, for what I can tell, is that I deleted my original fr00b that held that name in order to use it on a new paid toon, a month or so ago.

    Yes, I noticed this too, I think it was to stop pointless number named characters from chinese farmers, (funny that FC used numbers this time lol).

    Without including levels you could still lose against a level 1 toon.
    Granted, twinks should not be penaltied, but there's only a handful level 1 toons really.
    I'd favor another check for level >10

    I would have loved if they took the "subscription is inactive" out, or at least changed it to something like "is inactive > 2 years or so"
    I cancelled my account last year due to RK4 stuff and waiting for server merge / engine / rebalace, whatever came first, and reactivated during merge/right after merge.

    Now I lost the name of my almost 7 year old character (220/24/70) to another RK1 toon that is around since 2011 according to auno...

    I would suggest to contact CS about that tigerengi. Sounds just like one of those corner-cases which should be resolved manually.

    Already did that, and received response by mail yesterday evening with negative results.
    Again replied with the request to review it again and take /born into account over subscritption activity.
    Still feels wrong tho.
