I know everyone would prefer to have their desired names, but maybe (just maybe) the person who took the one you wanted deserves it as much as you

There's no way to make this fair, no one can tell who deserves more to have a certain name.

Yeah.
I hope the takers play at least...then I feel all is welcomed. x)

Eh, most of us realized that ZOS has opened the Beta servers up up to 1 hour before the official launch and therefore have been sitting around waiting to pounce.

That said, I still lost my name because I spent too much time trying to make myself look pretty .

I took pictures of character creation (edit - in beta) to make it go as smoothly as possible. Got 4 characters out in 30 minutes hehe...

@Holycannoli Can you say for 100% certain they opened at 6AM? Or are you just assuming that since it was open before 7 that it was 6?

As HolyCannoli noted, I logged in at about 6:05. We wanted to be up early so we'd be ready, so I crawled out of bed at six, fired up the launcher immediately, and saw it was active, so we went ahead and logged in, and viola, we were in the Wailing Prison thingy zone. If it wasn't 6 AM, it was darn close!

Edit: my first FRAPs screenshot of ESO in the Wailing area is tagged with 6:08, when I made a fake character just to see if I could log in.

I shelled out money to claim my ridiculously common namesTM just like everyone else. Husband and I set our alarms for 6:30 so we could get coffee and be properly set up and flipped out when ALL of our names were taken.

Thankfully we have a very very kind friend who snagged our "first and second choice" names for us.

A little sad that I couldn't grab "Mirri" but I did get most of the others I wanted and with 8 characters, I had more paper dolls and names than slots, so having a few for the chopping block was a fine choice.
