I'm not one to defend SSG but this is a test server. I would expect this to happen.
This being said, we've all been playing a game that has been neglected for so long that it has come down to a trial by fire. In a proper business world, this would have been tested months in advance before rollout thus mitigating most of the issues.
What I find most appalling is the lack of a professional apology (especially to their long term, paying customers).

If there isn't a protocol in place already, for instances like this - new servers and HC servers - when people who can show that their main, or one of their active toons, has had their name taken...Cordovan ought to fix it so "we" get our long-held names.
That said, if one of your alts hasn't been played and someone grabs the name, so be it. But not for a main character name.

Hope so. I've had this name active since 2006. Shouldn't be a problem then.
Thanks for feedback.

Don't really care about names honestly. All of my names were taken by the time I got to Cormyr. So I reserved some other ones that I like better anyway. Shrug. I'm a pretty unliked person, so I just sort of expect it and have learned to enjoy it lol. At this point I'd be irritated if people hadn't taken my name.

Who do you think took your names?

If I don't care that someone took them, why would I care who took them?

This is a bit strong, but I agree with you. DDO players need to grow up and be adults. If you don't like a product then move onto one you like. I love DDO and have no future plans of ever leaving it.

Unless you have a character with the same name on every server I don't know how you could think a name is yours. I have my name on my main server (Orien) and have no reason to believe that there are not other people with the same name on every other server. None of us have a right to that name. Cormyr is a new server so names are open to all on a first come first served basis. If they try to transfer to your current 32-bit server then sure, they would get the -1 on their name, but if you try to transfer to their 64-bit server in the future (when it is allowed) then you will be the -1. If you both are transferring to a new server it will depend on who's transfer happens first.
I don't expect any protocol protecting long-held names on new servers. I suspect anyone that really wants their name without a -1 will need to rapidly jump onto server transfers when the 64-bit server that can be transferred to opens up (though I wouldn't be surprised if Cormyr is that server, but maybe they make another one for transfers).

Predatory and illegal? That is a joke, correct?
The part I find odd is quitting, or claiming to have quit, and still spend time complaining of the forums. There are plenty of games I have quit. I did not announce it on the forums nor continue to engage in discussions on those forums.
mouse cursor centered on the reroll button is just 1 example.
there are many more
Is there no sense of personal responsibility in the world anymore.

There are a heap of servers. If you had the name on every server then maybe you'd have a point. But if you dont, its possible someone who uses that name on a different server chose it.

latency to the server ,
denial of service attacks,
constant log in and out of the server for mule access,
trying to get the game updated to 64bit is devs trying to resolve the issues.
yes lag is bad , blame Russians, they are attacking the free world.
one of the games yo can only cheat yourself playing ( dupes and such)

I know when I complain about stuff on the forums/reddit/discord for a game, it means I'm still engaged and want the game to function in a way where I'll want to play it (hope remains that things will change). If I go radio silent then I'm just done with a game entirely. Venting & frustration shows emotional interest in the game still, pure apathy just means the game has lost any remaining appeal. I have a guildy who logged off in the middle of laggy saga a few months ago and hasn't logged back in; we did verify they didn't have some medical issue or something horrible come up (I was concerned), they just simply hit their breaking point and stopped playing.

Totally agree!
My boyfriend cares not to waste time here anymore and occasionally chirps in to me when i tell what i am posting about.
He continues to play the game because he really enjoys the people he plays with in the game but I watch him constantly browsing for another game that might fill the void of what this game use to be. He doesnt like the new repeater changes but when i ask him about it he just shrugs and says they are killing there own game groups of players at a time.
I know since the repeater nerf our whole group of folk have been talking about going FTP and also been talking about the release of another game that is coming later this year. I myself feel this game is like a lego block castle slowly losing its beauty one lego block at a time.

I hear ya.
At some point, many moons(years) ago, I grabbed Bouncyboy on each server. But it has been taken before on the HC server, likely just as a prank, and I did find it funny and somewhat of a compliment, but for permanent servers like Cormyr there should be a fail-safe against such shenanigans.

My comment was about people claiming they stopped playing the game but continue to comment. Complaining without the 'I stopped playing' is a valid way to let developers know what the player base is interested in, although the tone of the complaints could often be better.

Wrong,
Making your statement of reasoning as to why you quit playing is a perfect protocol to let the devs know exactly where they screwed up. Continuing to complain after you said you were quitting is a totally different story, one and done is perfectly acceptable.
