    Legacy name list

    Does anybody know of a current list of legacy names that are taken? And is the legacy name server specific? I have a name I want to use, and want to know if I should rush through to get to the end of Alderan to grab it, or if it's taken no big hurry.

    Yes.

    It's probably no big hurry, unless you're going for Solo or Skywalker. Since they're server specific, each player on your server only gets one (as opposed to character names where everybody gets.. 8? 10?). Additionally, since you've got to get to 30-ish to get one, there's still a respectable portion of the population that aren't there yet.

    Because of that, there's not nearly as much competition for legacy names as there is character names. Now realize that most of the players that are willing to spacebar through all the content to have a 50 in the first couple weeks probably picked names like "Isithedmydiaper", and we're talking even less competition.

    Anecdotally, in fact, I don't know anyone yet that hasn't been able to get the one they wanted.

    No such list, it'd be pretty hard to start one. Best bet for you would be to make a list of possible names you want, and go down them in the order in which you like them. But yes, I would push through Alderaan to pick it up soon, as the names are server specific. If you were hoping for an existing lore name for your legacy name, it is probably taken, most of those went in the first week.

    Hmmmm....two very differant oppinions. I appreciate the feedback guys! I was hoping for a list or web site that could tell me. WOW for example you could go to the Armory site and see if a name was available on your server. I realise that took years to build....hopefully Bio will do that in the future. I'm level 27 now, so not far away anyhow. And I just hate leveling my alts knowing I'm wasting legacy points

    I think I'm gonna push on and get there, but with a easy push ha ha. I won't be spacebarring any DarthAlgar, so no worries there. Love the story and don't wanna miss any of it!

    Heh, I did a little space barring just because some of those people are so long winded. Then again, i'd probably spacebar in RL from time to time too. So far the majority of Surnames i've seen are either ridiculous adjectives (BudSmokah), Lore or Lore-like (Soloh, Vadar), Pop Culture References (Katy Perry) or obscure made up names that are unlikely to mean much to anyone other than the person that made them (the bet kind, IMO). Those examples are all examples i've seen today, lol.

    I'll admit to being tempted to do something silly with mine (I almost went with Megadoomer as an Invader Zim reference that I love), but I went with Wolfheart instead. I've used Wolf in my gaming name for a long time and I thought it fit with Star Wars naming and with the Bounty Hunter that started my Legacy. I was a little afraid it might get taking since it's not the most original or hard to think of thing in the world, but it wasn't after 2 weeks.

    I wouldn't worry to much about rushing to secure your legacy name. I do kind of recommend to anyone though to get one character to unlock Legacy before you do too much with your alts. It just seems like such a waste if you don't, because you could be earning Legacy XP the whole time you're messing around with those alts (even if you get bored and delete them/reroll them later), and who knows what that might one day unlock.

    That said, I'll admit I did storyline-only through most of Alderaan so I could get my legacy name.

    I went back and did the side quests afterwards. In retrospect, I wouldn't have missed much.

    I wanted Nicelytoasted as my legacy name but for some reason the game kept denying me it, so as a test i tried Bluemilk and thats what I'm stuck with.

    I went with Kaine obviously a bit of tongue in cheek lok reference but also because it fit well with my Guardian whom was mostly light sided with a slight inclination to butcher those die hard sith.

    I was tempted as well with my character names. I did some of that in WOW, but swore I was done with the goofy names when it was time to play SWTOR......this is serious business, no stupid names

    Ouch. And from what I have read, you are stuck with it for good....no way to change it.

    I'm doing same thing, on Tattooine now and will do same on Alderaan...only story quest. I've got a Jedi knight coming up right behind, so will do all side quest with him. Don't need to see side quest twice in a row

    soo easy

    Pulling all the legacy names from the databases is a matter of minutes....hmmm....seconds. But will bioware do it is the real question. But if it helps here's to bioware "select legacyname from table order by servername ASC" Now just put it on the web

    There'd have to be some kind of bridge. BW would have to release an API or something that allows users to pull information from those databases, if i'm not mistaken.
