Well, that went as expected... 504 and 502 errors until I finally got a page.

It appears that you can reserve a Family (account) name and just one Character name.  I was surprised that the Character names are still unique, even with a Family name, but I guess they have a unique naming system like GW2, where Sekkerhund.3792 would be my Family name, but my character has just one name (not able to use a space) so the Character name is still unique.

Sadly, I couldn't get a surname that I've been using in SWTOR and BnS, which is Sinn, (a Sith Legacy deal), so I scrapped my original wants and went with my GW2 surname of Wannara and then managed to secure Tabitha as a character name.

So cool and cool, I guess.  Good luck to everyone trying to get the names that they want.

Hm, I'm kind of surprised that those were already gone for you.  Honestly, the family name caught me by surprise, I wasn't really prepared for it.  Tabitha was what I really wanted to reserve, originally, but when I saw a family name was required, I was like hmmm, I might want to go with my SWTOR/BnS combos.

Dunno, I'm a little meh about the whole thing.  I ran into a similar issue with BnS name reservations, especially after I figured out they allowed a space in the name string (which is what allows folks to make a "first and last name" for their toons).

Oh yes! Brightwulf legacy lives on. I reserved Aiken Brightwulf. I think SWTOR is first game where I started using Brightwulf, because of the legacy system. 

The most important thing in life will always be the people around you. Salud, mi familia.

guys i don't think that it is in the traditional first name / last name sense on BDO. From game play footage it shows up in games on top of your other name like this:



Something to keep in mind when you're reserving your name. The "Family Name" / Account Name will be the one on top. - M.

Yeah, the Family name is basically an Account-wide "Nickname" that is used to easily identify a player regardless of which Character they may be on; which is super handy since this game is very Alt-friendly.

 

I pretty much got what i aimed for name-wise. (sorta.)

"Something to keep in mind when you're reserving your name. The "Family Name" / Account Name will be the one on top. - M."

That's because in the East Asian cultures, names are presented as "family-name given-name" versus American/Euro cultures, where its "given-name family-name".  Example: "John Smith" is the western name structure.  In Korea, Japan and China, it would be "Smith John".

Just to keep it brief, names mean a lot to their social interactions, so it's a lot more complicated than what I just exampled above.  Simply put, there's a reason why Pearl designed it like that, but it doesn't translate well to our western culture.  We still have to deal with it because it's the way the game is coded.

There's not really any wrong way to do the names, if you want to use it as a surname or an account identifier (like ESO's guild chat).

I didn't realize the first name reserved was the family name. I suppose it worked out well though because my family name is "Alana" and my character name is "Aramia". I thought about changing it, but after reading forums, I'll be more easily identified because that is my name here.

That's kind of why I went with Wannara as family name, because I use that as a surname for all of my toons in GW2 and I figured it would be easier to identify who I am.

I thought about using Sekkerhund, but ... it's more of a single name, gamer-nick, than a first or a last name.  I rarely use it as a character name and if I do, I never use it with a surname.

I do have another family-name idea that I may go with, but I'll wait a few days before I try any release and changes.  Sadly, I had to choose only one of three character names that I wanted, so I went with Tabitha, because for a Witch toon, it's just too priceless... and also it's a GW/GW2 name thing.  I probably should have been smart and secured the name that I wanted for my main, instead, because it might actually get taken.  I didn't think that anyone would grab Sinn as a surname, so quickly, either.  (unless family names and character names don't allow duplicates in either field)

They were gone about an hour after he posted.  There were a few other sites giving away keys, but they were out, as well.  I was going to get what I could and put them on the Marketplace for peeps to claim a bit easier, but those giveaways run out fast.

Yep.  I just figured anyone seeing it within the short while they lasted would potentially benefit.

Well, at least we'll have those friend keys for the 7 day trial after the game launches; we could always use those to hook in additional people who may be on the fence about the game.  :)

I bought in late, but got my family name anyway. I have reset to change my reserved first name several times, though, as I just can't settle on one.
