My husband and I moved from Shiva to Ramuh and didn't have to change our names. Now we have to come up with new names on Bahamut. Bugger all.
My husband had to change his name, as did 4 of our mules >.> Jetblack becomes Jetwhite, since basically all of the backup names we thought of were taken...
Every possible of combination of letters is taken on Bahamut. Every. One.
We have three characters here to rename and can't get anything. I refuse to use an X.
Is there an error for name choosing at the moment? Everything we've tried has been taken already. We've tried a couple dozen names.
EDIT: Took a couple of hours but we finally came up with three names that worked. I hate all three of them.
holy wow, PJ is a lot more active in shouting here than titan was, even with the merger and more people taken in account. Titans was just dead...
did they ever lock character creation on the new servers like they said they would?
4733 people online
680 in port jeuno
100+ people in every abyssea zone, except for tahrongi, only 75 people there(this is normal odin levels, though, I assume a ton of people are doing new shit, until they find out it sucks and then goes back to abyssea)
Thank you SE, Odin is just as full as it was when you FUCKING CLOSED THE SERVER FOR AN ENTIRE FUCKING YEAR
edit: 4818 now!
4300 on Bahamut on weekday, that´s like double there was before
740 Port Jeuno
50 Dyna X ! What a relief for Abyssea zones.
We have 3k atm on Levi but its JP time lol.
4369 people online on Carbuncle at the moment. Ridiculous. Go'way Gilgamesh, pool's closed.
I feel your pain. I had to change my character name even though the only character on the AH shows no activity since 2009. I got something somewhat acceptable as I was expecting SE to not delete inactive characters before merging us.
Also, I'm getting a whole "something's not right feel" running around in FFXI. Granted, my name changed, but something just feels different.
I told a coworker at work and she said it made her think of the Sheldon character on The Big Bang Theory when they flip his couch cushion.
Fantastic isn't it? 800 people in Jueno when I logged off, I'm assuming most of them afk so they can show off their OMG +1 GEAR HOW AWESOME.Thank you SE, Odin is just as full as it was when you FUCKING CLOSED THE SERVER FOR AN ENTIRE FUCKING YEAR
Fucking mo's.
Asked in the other thread, but when are they supposed to open the servers again for World Transfer? Had a friend waiting for the last month to transfer over to Phoenix.
I know exactly what you are going through. After several hours we finally gave up trying to get a decent name and just changed letters in our original names until something worked. Calais to Calain and Meara to Meare. Both are hateful.
However, talked to a GM about changing Calain (the more horrifying of the two):
Maybe there is hope.
