    Belay that, after checking the voting poll I attempted to edit my reserved guild name to the third place selection: Red Dead Rowsdower and it went through (has a timer and everything).

    Big Damn Heroes was taken, Dont Mess With Nexus has the aforementioned issue.

    Wow, things must be really effed up on the site.

    I got Frodo and Red Dead Rowsdower earlier, and watched the time to edit them expire. I assumed I had them for sure.

    I logged back in and both names were there with ?? under them, so I hit save again for both, and the timer restarted.

    I have no idea how both of us could have the same name.

    I tried to claim some other names like Wily and Zap, and it said they were already taken, so I think everything is fine...but geez.

    This does not bode well.

    We do indeed both have the same guild name reserved, with timer.

    I just don't know.

    Just confirmed it 'appears' i had to re-enter my names as well. They were still there but didn't seem to have the 'lock' in place. At first I was doing the name reservation as a lark, since I don't have many names I'm really attached to and like coming up with new ones. But after what we all suffered through today......I'm kind of fricking annoyed at this point lol. Seriously, this all just feels ass-backwards Carbine.

    It just keeps getting more and more comical.

    I called it too. People are discovering, en masse now, that the system failed to reserve their name even if it appeared successful.

    I had to also.. I was tempted to go for a cooler name, but it seemed somehow wrong.

    Comedy of errors does describe the situation fairly accurately.

    Redid it. Appears to be locked in. Took a new screenshot as proof.

    This system is a pretty clearly how to not do this.

    It would have been better if I'd just written it on a piece of paper and mailed it to them.

    At this point I'm turning to a "do-over" and 'public apology' mentality. Not because I want a shot at my first choice name, but because this seems completely fucked up now. Like, are they just messing with us?

    I am SO FUCKING SICK of the client randomly not starting up after every patch.

    It sits on this for a while: fh95m1ltwvxs.png

    And then eventually displays this: aaeiw8g77xxd.png

    I'd check to see if mine was reserved except:
    This site is temporarily unavailable due to scheduled maintenance.
    Please check back again soon.

    Edit: Oop, got in and have a 59 timer on mine.

    Hmm now when I login it doesn't have any names locked and I get this error message out to the log:

    Well, my wife and I got the names we wanted. At least now the website actually says that Dont Mess With Nexus is taken, but by whom is a mystery.

    I doubt any of it is intentional, but maybe when they tried to fix their system (it is working *a lot* better now) they lost some of the data that was entered before.

    Or equally possible, a lot of the registrations that people thought went through when the system was completely fucked never went through at all.

    I'm pretty shocked that I (apparently) got Beau. That was my rogue in WoW and I have rarely been able to get that name in other games since. The only reason I got it in WoW was because I server shopped for it at launch. My back-up name is typically available and my back-up-back-up name is just frankly weird and I think I'm the only person who likes it (never had it taken in a game before).

    So if tomorrow morning I no longer have it I'm not too worried, but it would be nice to have it again.

    ...Well I reserved my guild name. And witnessed the timer start at 0:03, hit 0, and then wrap back around to 59:59.

    Well, my whole thing reset.

    I could understand if people just are not able to connect, but this is ridiculous.

    I wound up changing my 'See You Space Cowboy' to 'Big Damn Space Cowboys' because that sounds a bit more like a name for an actual group of people. Also pretty cool, I think.

    According to that link I do *not* have Red Dead Rowsdower reserved, it's showing Goram Browncoats, which was my initial reservation.

    So that answers that at least, when you edit your reservation it does not correctly tell you if you tried to edit it to something already taken.

  • ElementalorElementalor Registered User regular
    Well it still shows stuff is reserved when I click on the reserve button again. For my nick as well as my guild, Legend of Legendary Legends.
