lol rip 3 and 2 letter names
I have seen this done successfully on other sites who merged. They just add a hyphen or under score along with a prefix usually the server abbreviation to the player's name.
Now for those who wish to keep thier name or change it to something else. This was the solution I seen on other site mergers:
The site would add a name change tab on the web site login. This tab would only appear after you accessed your account and allow you to choose any one of your character's name you wish to keep or change or even augment by deleting the prefix added to the name.
As for guilds well that one is a tough one because every merge I have witnessed they just deleted the guilds and players had to recreate them. Which is a terrible solution. I think Tomaboy's idea says it best keep them by date creation if possible.
This is a bad idea because you are asking EST to take advantage of its community while we have to deal with something most of us did not ask or ever request. There by forcing its community to spend USD on a decision EST made when there are better solution.

Am I the only one happy they can change all the char names they made as a 12 year old?
You're saying that EST hasn't been doing that for 2.5 years now with the introduction of Bronze Vouchers? As for a fact, there are tons of ppl that have been asking about this for well over a year. It's a simple matter of how it was to go about in actually doing it. A merge ALWAYS will involve something that forces players to do something that they don't want. When we were forced to merge Global Cabal we didn't have a choice, but we adapted to it. The global players lost a lot of stuff from errors and never were reimbursed.
You know as well as anyone that players will steal other's names simply to be an @$$. It's been done before many times. A simple add of 2 characters is not THAT big a change then changing EVERYONE's name to auto names (PlayerXXXXXX). They could do that AND still give TEMPORARY name cards.
Alternatively they could say the older creation date of the two names keeps the name while the merger has the temp name+ name card.
