If our names on the HC server are already taken on out home server please, oh please, give us -HC as a suffix as opposed to -1 or whatever.
The -HC would be kind of a badge of honor.

I suggested this in another thread, but more specifically:
-D if you died.
-(level #) if you are alive

Both great ideas. Maybe an amalgamation of the two.

I would argue both of these. I don't think -D would look any good.
EX: Tank-D
or
EX: Tank-11
that would confuse players thinking there are 11 copies of said Tank.

I like the HC idea. Most players are familiar with HC and would know that HC means Hardcore and not something else.
Tank-HC

If that -D makes it I'm going to roll a female half orc named Double in a clandestine outfit.

Btw, I also tried the name The for a possibly winding up with a character named The~1 but someone else had taken it.

Maybe I should try Neo.

Edit:
Just the HC suffix would mean that future iterations of the HC would get in trouble so a season identifier should be appended making it ~HCI

HL sounds legit, The "D" not at all. I can't put my finger on it, but it sounds demeaning in a way.

I definitely would go with -HC.

Also, I want to mention that it is awesome to be able to use almost any name on HC and have it not been taken already.

It's supposed to be! it means you died.

If you have full character slots I'm assuming you need to buy more or delete toons for a transfer. Yes no maybe so pull my finger.

I wanted to give all my toons the name Hardcore... or the last Name Hardcore.

But Hardcore is a banned word… except for Server names.

Yeah, you'll have to have the empty character slots to transfer the HC characters to your home server.
