Character rename after merge

#1 » Post by Bon Scott » 02 Jul 2013 01:49

Hello,

After the merge with Gaming Consortium, two characters of mine got flagged for rename.
I have been talking with a GM in-game via Ticket and I got information that the parameter for rename flagging was time played with character.

However, I have been playing on this server for a year now with this account, and I do not consider fair to lose those names for people that were playing on competitor servers.

The names that I insist in having are Crowley (my DK), and Joan (my priest).

I haven't renamed them yet.



I would appreciate if this problem could be solved.

Just to complete my post:

I have been talking to both Alliance and Horde players from Gaming Consortium and the information I got was that Crowley and Joan haven't been logging on since 12/14 months ago.


http://www.gamingconsortium.org/
Name Policy: This is a set of rules which were accepted in order to solve names that may conflict by duplicity. If a GC player has more played time ("/played") and a higher or equal level and has logged in the last 12 months, then he keeps the name, otherwise the TrueWoW player keeps it. Account and guild names will receive a dot (".") added to their names in case they already are being used at TrueWoW - players can leave it as is or request a rename. In addition, players should request a password reset to their accounts.

Then the information you got was wrong. One of those accounts was online yesterday, and the other has been in the past two months.

Instead of asking people, you can check yourself. Name/registry date/last online/total played on that char.
Crowley| 2009-09-14 21:57:27| 2013-06-30 00:12:53| 40.14 Days
Joan 2009-03-27| 03:23:40 2013-04-21| 16:25:31| 50.8 Days

Sorry, but you misunderstood my request.
I'm actually soliciting a solution for my problem.

The problem is that I play here since an year ago, while those two people were playing on other server, thus I should have priority over them.

I'm not trying to cause any inconvenience to them, I'm just trying to get what should be mine back.
The method used to decide "who wins what name" wasn't fair and everyone can see that clearly, so why the "guest" server should have priority? In my point of view, the /played method was chosen to avoid people that creates tons of level 1 characters to have priority, but, wasn't taken as consequence things like this one that is happening to me.



By the way, am I the only one that is losing out with this merge?

Sure you play here but why should your name get priority if the other is more active than you are? I understand what you're saying and i feel sympathy but this is the fairest solution we could conjure up...

You only risk losing a character name under certain conditions, that is if we believe the character from the other server deserves it more than your character.

Its really the "Fairest" mode?

Thing in Bon.
The other players have a higher /played time than you and thus are considered to deserve the name more.

"If a GC player has more played time ("/played") and a higher or equal level and has logged in the last 12 months, then he keeps the name, otherwise the TrueWoW player keeps it."

Those are the perimeters for name priority for the merge.
You where one of the unlucky ones.

Your DK is level 59, meaning you've played it probably less than 12 hours, your priest is level 67 meaning around 4 days worth of play time, give or take.

The DK is effectively level 5. Do you think a level 5 should take priority over someone with 50 days play time, which is their main and level 80?

Yes because I'm older than the others on THIS server.
If I have 12 hours played on my DK (Crowley) the Rogue named Crowley just logged in about minutes on THIS server

maybe i must to repeat my question:
I'm not who is coming, so why i would give it in?

You have already been given a worthy answer.
There had to be a compromise for the merge to happen, that compromise was.

"If a GC player has more played time ("/played") and a higher or equal level and has logged in the last 12 months, then he keeps the name, otherwise the TrueWoW player keeps it."

The fact that you are from this server makes no difference, we don't have priority over any names just because you are on truewow. The person who meets that criteria gets the name, you didn't meet it.

How is that not a worthy answer?
The two people who got "your" names, had a higher /played and are higher level.
Where is the problem?

Yeah some times the things are hard, i bet if you were a donor it would be already solved.

Like Nazz or Arockalypse
they already did too many things that are "bannable" but they never stop to play
