To be clear, you're referring to namesake titles and not product titles (Dust 514, Eve Online, Eve: Legion) correct?

Also, the idea of calling these guys "Mercenaries" is a little off-putting. I've never liked it. Mercenary is a profession, if anything. Capsuleers are unmistakable, we know exactly what they are, but when someone says something about "Mercenaries" there is some confusion there.

I like the idea of calling the ground guys Legionnaires, honestly. Only way that can be confused is with some rather die-hard Amarr guys, I suppose.

Or people who work for the Legion, Mordu's Legion. Something special needs to be taken that has nothing to do with the races tbh......

I'd say we go for a god's name (or a group that has to do with a god), or a name describing how our clones work (as that's how EVE and Valkyrie's immortals were named).

Fox Gaden Immortal Guides 3369	Posted - 2014.05.16 19:27:00 - [1] - Quote I think DUST characters migrated to Legion should retain their original creation dates. - Closed Beta vets all have the same birth date. They day DUST 514 was transferred to tranquillity. - You can also identify from the date if someone was from Open Beta, or at least from DUST before the Legion announcement, or at least before Legion Beta. These creation dates will be a point of pride, especially if Legion is successful. Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught. For everything else there is the Learning Coalition.

But honestly I'm more concerned about retaining my name. Maken Tosch has been my persona for a long time now and it would be a shame to see it become an openly-available name for someone else to take and misuse it however they like. @CCP Can you transfer our Dust names over to Legion? It shouldn't be too hard as long as the email used in Dust and in Legion match up at least. I also have an Eve account that shares the same email if it makes it easier for you. On Twitter: @HilmarVeigar #greenlightlegion #dust514 players are waiting.

Its kinda of neat. In legion perhaps Dust players could have special patches to place on the suit.

Because you wanted to be something you're not.

Yes, name is second only to the Booster SP that I paid cash for. If I had to choose between the two of them though, I'd want my name to remain me. I've spent a good bit of time with this name, I'd like to keep it that way. Arzadu Akbar Motherfuckers!!!! Closed Beta Bittervet Bomber

I'd prefer the tag to say "514" and then when the Legionnaires ask what 514 means we can be like "idk lol" because CCP is never going to tell us.

I bet you could squeeze that into the lore someway. DUST mercs are the original trials of thew new merc tech and Legion is the full industrialization and galactic implementation of the tech. Similar to the first gen of pilots to be called Valkyrie.

The title needs to fit, not just the most powerful one. Secretly Appia Vibbia If you can read my signature... I'm on the wrong alt.

Also, We get a free skin that can be used on any suit (please make the suits manufactured, not straight BPO's by the way, as that's pretty silly tbh) that has 514 written all over it. Lastly, I want black eyes and skin (referencing the sleeper tech that is in us). As for my custom title, it would be the "Fish god of fishes" Godin The Killer click me Blup Blub Bloop.
