Naming characters Feedback

I like the naming how it is.

my guess is the people who cant get the names they want, because one has already taken it

selling character names for real money, or selling accounts with character names they want

That's a good point.

Personally, I wouldn't mind if the first one who created the name would remain in the original version like "JakkerONAIR" stays "JakkerONAIR" no matter how many take the name too, but everyone else would get the ID like "JakkerONAIR#0815" or "JakkerONAIR#1234".

that could work too, as long as i don't have to see my own #id :D

To the extent that GGG still gives two hoots in hard vacuum about any commitments they may have made in the past, this is unlikely to change, because they made the decision to commit to this naming format, and many players have come to rely on it always being that way. That said, there are resources to help with character naming, so long as you're interested in going off the beaten path.

Here's a thread whose OP has been updated many times to add online naming resources:

Hopefully, y'all will find it useful. =^[.]^=

why arent more allowed to be named the same? we got a unique account and character ID, so character names shouldnt be the limit

let multiple people have the same name

That is what you got with a team lazy to change things and insist everything is part of a vision.

Unique tag under an account is not something new. It has been done many times in many games. Somehow we are to believe that Path of Exile 2 coding is so fragile and complex that any changes will break the system.

The problem is not having a unique character name, the problem has been losing the unique account name and treating us like numbers. Now all we need is for them to be tattooed on our skin.

I've really got to hand it to our forum trolls. I never thought they'd stoop so low as to come out in defense of having to name your characters "alkfdslk" and "gfhajlkajds" but here we are.
