welp, automod ate my post because I linked to mathias' original message mentioning name reservations. Let me type that all out again:
#Name reservations?

Assuming this happens at some point, will any measures be taken to give some form of priority to those who participated in past playtests and/or purchased a supporter badge?
The relatively small size of the playtests so far has typically allowed most players to use their desired name, often for multiple playtests in a row- for those players, that name may as well be their identity ingame, and it would feel awful to lose that to someone else after a wipe- especially those who've become well known in the community, in a game that focuses heavily on player-run communities. I think being able to reserve a name we've used in the past would be amazing- as well as allowing our names to persist through future wipes if at all possible. Progress is one thing, you can always rebuild after a wipe. Names? Not so much.
If that's not possible, I can only hope that we get plenty of advance notice prior to the reservation system going live 😓

It's a social sandbox game. Your name is your currency, far more so than hexcoin or profession levels.
