    SE accounts & friend rewards etc

    I have a second code for FFXIV.

    1) Can I attach it to the same SE account?
    2) If I can and I do, will I get the friend rewards?

    Thanks

    Has to be a different SE account regardless to get the rewards.

    I didn't feel like starting a new thread and this was the closest thing to being any way related... le bump.

    How does name claiming work? I've just transferred a character to Excalibur and the name is taken, yet a character by that name is non-existent on the Lodestone (across all servers, no less). Does this imply that someone made a character with that name and since deactivated the account, and thus the name on Excalibur is taken forever? Would deleting that specific character free up the name or are the names gobbled up indefinitely?

    Thanks in advance. :3

    I don't know the answer to that question but I want to thank you for actually posting in this thread because I JUST figured out why I couldn't make a new character with a name I wanted on my server. I took it from myself while I was trying to do a self reward thing. DERP GOOD JOB MINA.

    Names are not saved infinitely once made as I transferred my legacy character months ago and have it the name of my placeholder after deleting that placeholder 30 seconds earlier. Maybe the lodestone does show lv1 characters or your server is currently locked for new character creation

    I would actually want to know this too. I know when I was making an alt I checked the name on lodestone and it wasn't taken but when I tried to make the char itself it kept telling me name was taken. =/ Ended up using a different name because of it.

    I bet someone is reserving these names. Like made the character but never actually logged in it.

    I -think- that's what I accidentally did to myself.

    I I have done that also because who wants to sit through the five-minute opening cut scene & dialogue that you can't skip.

    Well back when the servers were first created you couldn't even queue in so people were making alts on every server... so I imagine there's a lot of unused characters sitting at that stage lol...
