[QUOTE="Magi_Trelian, post: 3232219, member: 36591"] About names... We've noticed that some people are registering long lists of names at once, presumably for later use. Sometimes they even seem to be going through a baby-name book (bunches of names beginning with 'A', then 'B', etc., all with the same password). This is one of the reasons Gabe needed to clear out the database because the number of registered names had so much outpaced the actual played characters. This sort of hoarding isn't very nice, we strongly discourage it, and we will delete them when we can. We don't insist that every name immediately appear online. If you do come across a name you think would be perfect for a later char, it's okay to register it. Give it a one-line description to jog your memory of why you thought it was perfect, add it to that list of registered chars & their passwords that you keep on file for yourself (you DO have one, don't you? :-)) and it will stay safe till you need it. But only do this for a few names, not hundreds, please! [/QUOTE]
