Guild Wars 2

Hello.

In all my MMORPG and such games, I have used mostly my nickname, Deepcuts.

When I linked my GW1 account with GW2 account, the message stated:

“Your display name is a unique account identifier that consists of a name and a randomly generated four-digit code. You’ll use it on the Forums, and in Guild Wars 2 after launch. The name and four-digit code will be your handle on the Forums. The four-digit code does not appear in the game itself unless another player chooses the same name, in which case both your name and the four-digit code will appear.”

As far as I can see, if a user has my nickname already, I can still use it but a four digit code will be added to my in-game name.
Am I missing something? Because the game client tells me I cannot chose the nickname, because it is already being used.

I have the same issue – even tried some totally random letters, and it still said name is already used.
Me thinks something is wrong here
