When someone takes the name \"Kwip\" and parades around the Plaza like a clown, you\'ll think more than just \"it\'s only a label\". :)

Sure a name is but a lable:

Pen
Pencil
Mouse
Eraser
Kwip
Wratchet
Box wrench
Rabit
Cow
Dog
Fence post

Tell me which label is is out of place and you will see why that label is different from all the others.

Hehe, I can be up high and mighty because my name is already reserved :D

But yea just wanted to be a little philosophical but really the only importance in the name is that connections to the actual you are made through it so if it was taken they would have hijacked those connections.

Though this usually does not last long as the behavior of the imposter reveals that he/she is not that person, plus the person being impostered (not a real word :) ) will if able alert others as to the imposter\'s true status unless he/she him/herselves benefited from having his/her label stollen.

Is your name reserved? Or does your account get transfered and you still need to make a new character?

Well personally I hope they don\'t simply but it back to after MB but just make all characters start over with the option to just kick out characters your not using anyhow.

Not that I am afraid anyone is gonna take my name LOL but if someone did and pretended to be me it would be highly annoying to say the least.
