Nosleep 4 Report post Posted June 6, 2017 (edited) Hello Elysium staff, Yes here I am again asking about this, and even tagging a handful of mods as im sure you guys dont all work 24/7 :) And i want the best chance of this being seen, and responded to, by a mod/admin as soon as poss :) I wont do a huge intro where I say how grateful I am to your entire team and the project as a whole. and explain why this is so very important to me, i linked my previous post on this from 9 days ago and it explains it all in more detail.... but i am grateful and appreciative for evrything you do both what i know and dont know. :) BUT ... :p You said in the big original transfer announcement that ''there will be a follow up announcement very soon in regards to name conflicts'' .. so i waited a few weeks...then... 8 days ago I broke and just had to make a post [ https://forum.elysium-project.org/topic/47785-name-clashes-upon-server-transfer/ ] as its so very important to me, and I got MOD response saying : ''There will be a follow up announcement very soon and we'll address all naming related issues. That being said, we understand your concerns. Stay tuned!'' for which i was very grateful btw :) So i waited another 8 days.... Then over a week later and only a few days from when we have to start choosing there was still absolutely nothing in regards to information on this. ... so I re-tagged the mod who responded in the same thread. Asking them politely if they could please inform us, regardless of what you have chosen, so that players who are gonna lose a name to a lvl 1 bank alt that hasn't logged on since February, can make an informed decision about what server to go to, as for some players, your decision on how to resolve name conflicts will be the deciding factor.... ...but no response (i know you guys dont work 24/7 hence why i tagged so many on this post). .. and it got trolled, and im worried it may just get lost or buried under all that troll poop. Now just hours away from the launch of the ''choice function'' there is still no word at all on this VERY (for some, i understand you may have much more difficult problems to deal with.. and as i have stated many times i truly appreciate all the work your entire team does, i really do!) VERY important decision . .. at this point its almost more important to know and be able to make a choice, than it is to know exactly what you decided and agree with it, if that makes sense. I have always said that im not trying to influence your decision, and nore could I even if I wanted to, but I just wish you guys would inform us of said decision as soon as you can... seems strange that you would not even have a decision on what you're going to do, even if the work on implementing it isnt finished yet.. you must at least know what direction you're going? Default - unlucky ZK players u lose ur name to an unplayed bank alt or char that hasnt logged on since feb? Custom - name change prompt given to one of the players based on a number of, or singular, factor(s)? Other - <Insert random reason of your choice here> Anything you decide will be, im sure, in the best interests of the servers on a whole, even if that means default ''unlucky ZK u lose to lvl 1 not played for 5 months'' as you decided the dev time required to create a function to choose was so much that it was time better spent on other area's of the project. It is just so VERY important to so many people. PLEASE inform us as soon as you can on whatever you have decided to do about name conflicts on this upcoming transfer! With respect, Nosleep.

Nosleep 4 Report post Posted June 6, 2017 Sorry, I didn't realise the tagging function was not meant to be used, I wont do that in the future. An idea on when you will inform us? Server choice starts tomorrow. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pottu 290 Report post Posted June 6, 2017 The matter is not solved yet. There will be further information in due time. Remember that you have up until the 21st to complete the server change quest on ZK - you do not have to do it tomorrow. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Myllz 8 Report post Posted June 7, 2017 Why not just work with the assumption you'll have to rename if there's a conflict until told otherwise? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hudson 16 Report post Posted June 7, 2017 (edited) Character transfers will be handled the same as when any character is added to an account. If there is a naming conflict, you will be prompted to change your character name the first time you log into it. You can reserve names using low level characters, and then delete them before logging in on your new character. We are working on a solution for naming conflicts between unused characters and transferred characters, but we will have an update on that and whether it will be feasible in a Q&A post that be put up later.
