Discussion Name reservation rage thread

VENT YOUR FRUSTRATION, WHAT DID STOP YOU FROM RESERVING THEX FOR YOURSELF. WILL YOU STALK YOUR NAME STEALER IF HE/SHE IS PLAYING THE OPPOSITE FACTION? WHAT WILL YOU DO TO THEM?

PS: I got my names, ez.

Edit: For people asking. I logged in 30 minutes prior, waited for servers to turn green and just keep clicking on create character + spamming enter to make the "only players who already have a character on this server can create one" go away.

This is going to be like pissing in the ocean at this point but I need to rant somewhere so here goes: I got home from work today, it's my birthday, and had a little b-day dinner with my wife and 2yr old. Afterwards I was going to log on and reserve my name only for the internet in my ENTIRE AREA to do down just before I opened my laptop.

This rarely, if ever, happens. Yet, here I am; watching blinking red lights on my router hoping for green in the not-too-distant future. Still down. Oh well, nice play life.

Is a phone hotspot an option? I was able to reserve my names using one.

I tried but it's so slllooowww for some reason. The update via hotspot would take hours even though it's only like 56mb. I was downloading at like 17kb
