Unique Name Requirement

I would also like to see coded interactions dealing with unique account names so that we can have our cosmetic non-unique character names. It's existed in countless other games for decades. Neverwinter Nights for example.

I also find this needlessly complicated. Unique character names suck. I want my character to have a good name, but all of them are already taken. I don't want to run around as CoolMcBob8467752

This isn't a problem in D4 so...come on. I don't want to sit and try to come up with a name that nobody (millions of players) hasn't thought of just to create a new character. Was so hyped to jump in and then BAM, name already exists, name already exists...

Unique name requirement is bullshit.

How to solve it?

Just give them #NUMBERS internally or attache them to the account name internally.
The visible name is not what matters. It's the unique identifier for trading and stuff which is important. And that is something backand can handle without me sitting 45 MINUTES right now wondering what name I come up with is NOT already taken!

Can't believe there are globally unique character name requirements in 2025.
Now my characters are blessed with the SixtyNine suffix to try and get around this.

and the fact that it wipes the entire thing each time your name gets rejected so you can't just make minor adjustments. you have to retype it every single time which on console is tedious af
