Lockdown your username!

[Legios]

New "site" setup to do just that. I havent had any issues where my username is hard to come by but I have had friends who had battles over them. Their war just got easier.

It does seem like this would be the case. Plus, I can always fall back on my pseudonym, Mike Honcho.

I'm probably the only food lame enough to use the name of a town in Cyrodiil for a user name.

Thier business model makes no sense and probably violates every single TOS for the accounts they reserve. The only logical way they could make money would be to SPAM heavily and sell your data or to simply reserve EVERY user name on every site forcing you to pay them for it. They could even outright lie saying someone beat you to that name on site A, but the person who has it is willing to sell it to you for $25 plus our fee of $5. The person who has it of course would be them. Actually the more I think about it their only logical business model would be that last scenario. By registering with their site they now know someone on the internet values a certain username a LOT. Enough that their shady sister site will use in the above scenario. You are essentially guaranteeing you will not get your desired name on certain sites in the future if you tell them what it is.

Apparently, new services that start up may choose to use this system so they'll already have users with minimal difficulty to finish registration.
