When making a new character, every 3-letter OR 4-letter name is "This name is now allowed". Ehh? Star isn't aloud. lll isn't alloud. fds isn't aloud. Sand isn't aloud. Blah isn't aloud. Ehh....

SOE: Do something about this.
Here's another issue.

When I first got Planetside, I went on Emerald, wondering what my name should be. So, I wanted to be Sphinx. Taken. Then I tried Sphynx. Taken. I went on Planetside.com and looked up these characters (on Emerald), they both had 0 kills and BR1. So many cool names are available that people waste. I think that SOE should make it so that if you're character is idol for more than like, two weeks, it's deleted. Not the biggest issue in the world, but still.

Meh, because of a BR1 CR0 on Konried, when I wanted to move to Konried, the name Starstorm was taken. Bah!

Well they can't do anything as impatient as deleting 2 week old characters. What they should do though, is delete all characters from accounts that haven't been paid current in over 3 months. They probably won't even do that though, because they have already lost so many subscribers and are obviously hoping to win some back eventually. Reactivating a dead account to find your characters wiped out would be a sure-fire way to permanently lose a large portion of the playerbase.

Some people register the same name on all 5 servers, that would explain some of the 0 kills BR1 chars.
