They could continue preventing new character creation on Nao for a short time after the merge to let everyone reclaim their names and prevent trolls from name-griefing.
It's so disgusting that people are already planning to be spiteful just because they're feeling left out.
Actually THAT is a brilliant idea. They can keep it that way until they release name change coupons. Then after a week of that character creation can be re-enabled again.
This will only work if they have plans to release name change coupons soon after the merge. I hope that's what they have planned. If not I have purchased a cheapo lizard pet that I will create immediately upon the servers going live. I will not lose my name that I have been using for 11 years to some childish troll.
@Katherz please pass this onto the team. We will be able to avoid these vicious trollers from doing this kind of damage.
KEEP CHARACTER AND PET CREATION DISABLED AFTER THE MERGE.
