Name reservations were rewards for backing at the Pioneer level and higher and were previously available through the Voyager plus pre-order pack.[1][2][3]

  • Accounts will have name reservation tokens, that entitle its holder to reserve a name on a specific server when the reservation time comes.[4]

Name reservation priority

Name reservations will be allocated from the highest backer tier to the lowest backer tier.[5]

  1. Kickstarter backer tiers, highest to lowest.[6]
  2. Summer crowdfunding backer tiers, highest to lowest.[6]
  3. Pre-order packs purchased from the web store.[6]

Within each tier, the name reservations are on a first-come-first-served basis.[6]

Name reservation availability

 Some of the following information has not been recently confirmed by the developers and may not be on the current development roadmap.

Name reservations were slated to begin during Alpha-1.[7]

Guild name reservation

Guild name reservation was available in the Braver of worlds and higher backer packages during the Kickstarter and Summer crowdfunding campaigns.[8][9]

Server reservations

Server reservations allow guild members as well as unaffiliated players to reserve character slots on a server starting in the Beta testing stages of the game.[10]

This would likely be utilized more so by guilds than that would be solo or unaffiliated players; and I believe that the solo player they may have friends that they want to play with. That's fine, they can also still with those friends do the reservation system, but the player who is just joining the game fresh and doesn't have a community that they're part of, I don't think they really mind in that regard and will not utilize that system.[10]Steven Sharif

Characters will have a first-name and an optional surname (last name).[11]

  • There is a minimum length of three for a character name.[13]

Currently we don't allow special characters in character names (including apostrophes and/or hyphens). It's possible this changes in the future.[14]Ry Schueller

Character names will appear on the character sheet and optionally on the character website page.[15]

  • In-game a character's name is displayed above their head. This can be the first or last name.[15]
