Thats just silly, there is no way for them to know if we are really player xyz and will cause a really massive headache for the billing/migration team. I know in the german article they said they will not be bringing pilot data over (aka current stats, medals, etc) because this is a new game, not an upgrade.

" [Delphi] so we would create new characters for Jumpgate Evolution?
[Istvan]yes, though we'd like to pass everyone's name into the new game.
[Istvan]we haven't worked out a reservation/key plan yet."

Quoted from the Darkspace Dispatch. Chat with Istvan in game.

DARKSPACE DISPATCH: Istvan's Update

Not so silly now.

Yes there is. Have another all active period in Jumpgate before Jumpgate Evolution goes live and accept the request from active emails for a period of time. Miss the time period and tough luck.

Re: Naming Character
What about someone who looses their email, then they have to go research the billing and whatnot to verify if the person is legit or just really wants someone's name

Life has it's ups and downs. I'm sure they will do their best to accommodate as many people as possible.

Re: Naming Character
i like the naming system to be different in Jumpgate Evolution rather than in Jumpgate Classic.

Re: Naming Character
It would be nice to see the familiar names...

Liet, SS, Aph, Ambro, Spacious, dahalb , Mike21, etc etc etc.

I think that new names for a new game would be good tho. Eventually ppl may figure out who you were in Jumpgate Classic anyway so i guess its up to the individual. Having a reservations system would at least give ppl the opportunity to choose for themselves.

As I've said before . . . as much as I would like Ambro to continue as a character, it all depend on the backstory for Jumpgate Evolution. If it's 500 years in the future, even if the pilot is named Ambro -- he's really just a descendant . . . (unless all Jumpgate Classic vets were cryo-frozen or something).

OK.. sure.. but you are an RP kind of guy. That puts you in a tiny minority in the Jumpgate world.. most folks are still going to want to carry over the names, if not the medals and stats. (Buncha statwh0rs anyway)

Re: Naming Character
What I want and what other long-timers want is relatively meaningless. What is important is how the 10,000 or 20,000 NEW Jumpgate players will feel about whatever NetDevil decides to implement.
