  1. I thought of that, but that's not it. I tried using it on one of the lower population servers and it let me create a character with that name, so it's not reserved.

    I petitioned it, so we'll see. Even if I manage to get it back though, it looks like I won't be able to level pact it with its counterpart.
  2. I created a character with a certain name in the first few minutes after Exalted went live. Since I rushed to create the character, tonight I went to recreate it so that I could take advantage of the level pacts. I went all the way through the character creation process to the very end on my second account, then I deleted the character name on my first account. I typed in the name on my second account and I got the "Name is Available and Reserved" message, but when I try to enter the game, it tells me the name is already taken.

    Thinking there needed to be a space of time between deletion and creation, I logged out with my fingers crossed, waited a few minutes, logged back in, went through the whole process again and had the same result - name shows as Available and Reserved, but then I can't get it.

    I've even rebooted my computer and logged back in with the same result. Can two people have the same name reserved at the same time???

    What's particularly odd is that between attempts to do this, I did the same exact thing with another character - deleted the character and recreated it with the same name, and I hand no problems at all.

    I am going to be really disappointed if I lose this name.

    Consider yourself lucky - you only have to sign in half as many times as I do. Not only do I have to sign in EVERY time I come to the forum, my passwords are screwed up now too.

    I had to change my main account password last week, but now for some reason if I want to log into my account on plaync.com, I have to sign in with my new account password from work, and my old account password from home.

    It's something like this, yes. I ran into the same problem on Thursday when I tried to purchase $100 each for my two accounts, and then $50 again for my primary account. I tried again last night and the $50 purchase went through.
  5. I eventually got on, but I was getting the "Cannot Connect to Servers" message at the log in screen for the longest time. Finally I just rebooted my computer.
  6. I don't know whether it violates the EULA or not, but it's still kind of a skeavy thing to do.
  7. Are the servers down, or can I just not log in for some reason?

    Plaid Shirt?

    I can't seem to log on for some reason, but as far as I know, no there isn't. Unless it was recently added.
  9. I may have misunderstood, but I thought we were going to be able to "buy" Reward Tokens with Paragon Points. However, I couldn't find that option in the Paragon Market, nor could I find any mention of it in a few of the threads I skimmed.

    Was I just making that up in my head as a way of convincing myself I could get lots of cool stuff much earlier than normal?

    It also looks like Avatea edited the original post yesterday around the same time she posted her update above, so she was probably highlighting the change she made to the OP.

    Didn't happen to me, didn't do it to anyone else... but the thread makes an assumption (see the "culprit" and "usurped" phrasing) that it was done deliberately to target someone. Someone may have actually *wanted* that specific name and not known/cared about the "big name" - since they have no idea (and/or don't care) that person exists.
    While that's true, it doesn't hurt to ask.

    For example, I found the name "Matterhorn" free and decided to take it for a concept that I haven't fully formed yet, but which will have something to do with stone and ice. I thought the name was cool, but I'm not so attached to it that if someone came along and mentioned that their global ID was Matterhorn, and they had a Matterhorn character on most other servers, I'd be willing to consider trading it, or giving it up outright.

    That said, there are now three name threads in this forum, and that's probably two too many. We should maybe start a single "Exalted Name Watch" thread, and get it stickied. Then everyone who wants can post there what names they got, and what name they were hoping for, but couldn't get.

    I did say it was imperfect, but I still stand behind it. The new reward system is only one part of the I21 upgrade, and comparitively speaking, it's a tiny portion of all the great features this game has. Kind of like how a dvd player is a tiny portion of a new vehicle. Now some people may let the temporary abscence of that small feature overshadow all the other great stuff this game, or that new vehicle, has to offer, and that's their prerogative - everyone has their own priorities and opinions. My opinion is, it's kind of a silly thing to cancel your subscription over unless you really don't enjoy the game otherwise.

    If you previously purchased/earned slot unlocks and hadn't used them yet, they should have still been global. Mine were.

    If you mean slots you purchased/earned and then unlocked on Infinity, no, they didn't go global.

    However, the old "default" was a very odd choice for this game and anyone that I had ever talked to about it changed theirs to the old "inverted".
    I am glad that they changed the default, as it can be off-putting to new players... However, I didn't think it would interfere with existing users who had it set that way!
    My mouse control didn't change on existing characters, just on new characters.

    Thanks to all for the tips on the "save options to file" option. That will save me the hassle of disabling the Pop Help on all my new characters too.
  15. When I logged in this morning, I had 1600 on each of my accounts - one is a 42+ month vet account, the other is a 17 or 18 month vet account. Neither account is close to tier 9.
  16. I'm an RP player, and I sagged some names last night that I'been dying to get on Virtue for years. I don't plan to abandon Virtue, but hopefully Exalted won't become a wasteland, and it will develop a decent RP community.
  17. I logged in almost as soon as the servers came back, and I still missed my first choice(s):

    Decoy
    Illusion (which was my backup if I couldn't get Decoy.)

    Others I was hoping to snag but missed out on:

    Mathemagician
    Knight Widow
    Nyx or Nox

    Other than Decoy though, I'm not really too disappointed, because I did get most of the names I wanted, including:

    Thermocouple
    Ingot
    Miss Tell
    Sticks
    Stones
    Dead Serious
    Nick of Time
    Dawn of Time
    Tarantula Hawk
    Whip
    Lash

    and a few others I'm forgetting.

    I'm planning to level pact a few of these characters if it wasn't obvious.
  18. This inverted mouse thing is driving me batty.

    Is there any way to apply changes you make to your options account wide? Every new character I create I have to go in and "fix" the mouse configuration. And the hilarious thing is that I have to RESET it to "normal." Shouldn't "normal" = default?

    The problem is, the refund would be next to nothing to you, but would cost NCSoft thousands of dollars.

    Yesterday the game was down for... let's say 12 hours, and lets say it's down for 6 hours today. That's 18 hours, or 3/4 of a day which, if you pay $15/month to play, amounts to a 37 cent refund; less if you are on one of the discount plans. Even if they were to refund you the full two days, you'd only get a dollar. That's less than the cost of a bottle of Mountain Dew!
  20. Did anyone else have to reset their account password to log into the forums this morning? I was able to get into the game fine before they took the severs down, but neither of my accounts could log into the forums.

    No Guild Portal site (that I know of) But many of the "First Class" characters had VV pages of varying degrees of completeness. Search for:

    Girl Crush
    Maximillian Gold
    Head to Head (or Head-to-Head, I forget)
    Red Cutter
    Incense n Peppermint
    Sandpile
