I saw this implemented in Champions Online and thought it was a really neat idea. Basically your character name would be tagged to your account, so you wouldn't have to worry about choosing a name that's already been chosen. If you wanted some stupid generic name like "Shadow," it would always be available to you because you wouldn't just be the first person to choose the name, but you'd be Playeracc123's "Shadow."
I imagine contacting people would be a bit more complicated as you'd need to contact them by their account name, rather than their character's name. Though it seems to work in Champions Online, Planetside is a much faster paced game and might prove to be too troublesome.
What are your thoughts on this?
