Point just made on main forums: - the server staggering could lead to three-way name clashes.

Lilka of Laurelin is inactive.
Lilke of Eldar eagerly awaits transfer to Laurelin.

However, Gilrain is allowed to transfer first. Lilka of Gilrain (perhaps created in the next 5 minutes by someone with a bad sense of humour) gets in there first, purely because their server was allowed to go first.

So maybe we should be reserving our names on all servers
