My gut it telling me that is probably the list although I'm not sure how they managed to get it. My biggest concern in regards to the whole name reserve thing is that we know what server's we're headed to ahead of time so we can select the right one to reserve our name on.

I'm sure our officers will make a decision as soon as possible. Keep in mind, if they made the choice based on an unofficial list of servers that ended up being changed or wrong, it would cause even more problems.

Oh I know, I'm just eager for official info is all :)

I get very excited around launch time for a new game!

So knowing the servers means nothing for your 1 name reservation. That 1 name is saved across all servers for you..
Knowing servers will only help with organizing which server to play on, you can do that right before early access if they leave it that long to share the complete list, I doubt they will though.. "

That's what I was thinking they were doing but this brings up another question. I assume this is going to apply to Guild Names as well. If that's the case it would seem like the two factions guilds may have to have different names and not both be able to have the name Grievance.

That is true. But, what if both guild masters logged in at the same time? Wouldn't they be able to make the guilds simultaniously back to back once the first one was made? Reserving the names globally before launch makes sense, but having one name per player or guild globally defeats the purpose of having several servers.

I'm assuming that once the reserved name was chosen that the rest of the servers would open up. I guess that is a good question to ask. I'll hit them up on twitter about it as far as guildnames are concerned and cross my fingers in hopes for an answer.

But, wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen on the 13th?! :p

Maybe they aren't announcing "the when" so we all don't rush the servers or something (just a guess). Not sure if that's a good or bad thing. They really need to tell us when so we can coordinate...

Looking forward to this game finally going live. Love that we get a name reservation! See you all in the verse!

Soooo now we have a fight to death for 1 name across all servers. This is not going to be fun.
