Kicked out of character creation

This is the third time I've been kicked out of character creation for inactivity and have had to recreate my character. I like to get things just the way I want them and this takes a bit of time. I also have trouble finding a name due to a majority of the ones I wanted being taken so additional time is required to find one that isn't.

PLEASE MAKE CHARACTER CREATION UNLIMITED TIME!!! I can't stand having to do a character multiple times to get it erased.

    Yeah, I've definitely gotten kicked out at the name screen after slaving away perfecting a look. Feel your pain there.

    I've been bitten by this a few times.

    Now I make a list of potential names before I get to that portion.

    One thing that always catches me off guard in EVE is never getting kicked for being idle.

    How about a save like some games have so we can bring back the same parameters and tweak them if we want.

    It happens if you take too long to come up with a name. At least, that's where it has happened to me ( a couple of times). It's annoying if you spent a lot of time creating the look. But as nine9six says, just have your name ready ahead of time and you're good to go.

    How long are you sitting idle? If it takes you that long to create a character where it will time out then just fiddle with the menu.

    Never idle always doing something so it's pretty annoying

    Wow, really?

    I have yet to hit that... but I go for excessively complicated lore-friendly names so maybe it's less of a thing.
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
    ***
    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis

    So do I! I was very surprised when a khajiit name of Ra'zura Daro was taken. Thought it was unique

    When it comes to names, dont try ones that would be normal to us. Just come up with imaginary names by throwing sounds together. Like Poldun, Kolvakna, Trisen, Luk'Varn. ect. I can promise you none of those are taken.

    I have been trying to create a second char but I always get kicked out before I can complete it properly. So what you saying is that if I type in a name first I can have all the time I need to create my char? In BDO it would take me 1h or so to create a new char.
