There's actually no nicknames I want. But meantime IMO they should reset it regularly. Disagree with you. i had to stop playing for three years because of multiple deployments, i would have been pissed off if they reset my names when i came back. Why? Just rename it. It's just character name.ID is more important in GW2. If it's not important, why does it matter if character names are released or not? Reason is very simple. With regular name resets (once per 2 years for example) it would be MUCH easier to find some cool names for your new characters. But according to you, character names are not important. So by that logic, ANet has no reason to reset character names.They may do it for new players for example. To make them start easier.
