Error 1003: Name already taken

[Hercule]

Hello,

I just cant take a name if in the name or the surname there is the word "Gilgamesh"
I can put annything like "dnzudhbyegdy Gilgamesh" or "Gilgamesh frdftfdtf"

He just akways say the name is already taken on every server...

Look like i'm not alone to get this bug, so i cant take the name that SE guive me with the Playonline associed account.

Did anyone have an idea or an issue?

Thanks

looks like SE put a reserve on the FFXI server names so people can't use them unless you use there name reservation system. Would imagine people did this so that no one trys to make out there someone there not.

I think they just blocked the "famous" FF names from being used, just like it was in XI iirc.

No Clouds or Sephiroths, but of course the game is filled with Aeriscloud's and such, gg.

[Kunimitsu]

I had this problem too. When making a name it asked if i wanted to use "Kunimitu gilgamesh", as thats my xi name/server. When I click yes, it says that name cannot be used oO I just used Kunimitsu Rai instead. lol

Makes me wonder if XIV has similar restrictions to naming that XI had, where certain words couldn't be in any part of a name. When Seraph crash landed into Bismarck I had been trying to get the name "Reiterpallasch", but it kept turning me away. I later noticed that the error number was just slightly off, and that the name wasn't actually taken, but just restricted (though of course it didn't say this). Later turned out that it was the "alla" in the middle of the name fucking me over, as it worked just fine with a single L.

I wanted to be Qeomash Pandemonium, since I still don't consider Asura my server...but it wont let me pick that.

because of the name reservation system you cant use any ffxi server names in your name
