compulsive name hoarding

[Overburn]

I hate it when people gather tons of "good" names (names without numbers or anything) and just put them off to the side to collect dust.

I think is would be awsome if the SSCU billing server deleted names that had less than 10 hours of usage, and were inactive for over a year. Also, I think it would be cool if you did a ?find command and it actually told you how long ago they were inactive, instead of just saying "last seen more than 10 days ago".

[Voth]

Name's that haven't been used in a long time (I'm not sure exactly how long) are reset, so anyone can claim it. You'd have to ask Overstrand or someone for the precise number.

Anyways, who cares? Name is a name. This game is for fun, not trading and whining over names like 5th graders do with Pokemon cards.

[Overburn]

hmmm, I see.

I just dont like people gathering names and trading them, its so retarded. I dont want to have to track someone down and "trade" for it.

I think it does :/

[Gemfire]

Ive been waiting for this one name to recycle for over 2 years. I do a ?find every other day(used to before i became inactive) and there wasnt a time i didnt say "Last seen more than 10 days ago"

its a shame that people gotta settle for their 20th choice for a name just cause the first 19 are taken by people who have never used them.

aw, cry me a river J Timberlake . So you're saying that people that have been playing this game probably twice as long as you should give up names because they're not using them all the time? I have a bunch names that I don't use that I could probably sell too some of you nerds but I wont. Earn your stripes newbies..GG

P.S. Don't take it personal.

It depends on their usage for when they reset.

No, he's saying that you don't really need more than one or a couple user names, and the people that specifically gather them to trade, are doing a disservice to everyone else in the zone. Personally I think the billing server should allow you a limit of say 5, per machine, per zone, and if you want new ones, you have to delete old ones.

And Just so you know:
Talking about Timberlake, having a "bunch of names you don't use", and "could probably sell"? As in selling user names for a free online game?
"Earn your stripes newbies..GG"?

Dunno if I'd be willing to throw the first nerd stone, if I were you.

P.S. Don't take that personal.

Here you go Jerome, Just for you.


I am, therefore I base.

All I'm saying is that in my experience, when you're a dork, don't believe that you're a rainbow avenger, set to call out the other dorks of the world.
Relax... Meditate. Ohm.

Nah its cool, I guess I was wrong about calling him a nerd. Now I'm gonna call "YOU" a nerd...j/k. But seriously why should there be a limit on how many names you should have?....I mean if you claim them first than who has the right to say "you shouldn't have that name, cuz I just thought of It and I want it (wah)"...period
