Title: So if I want a name
Post by: ShinigamiSama on April 26, 2011, 08:43:14 pm

Given that said name is taken, would it be viable to ask a GM  to name/char-check to see if it's active >_>

'at least change theirs if it's some lvl 14 novice keeping me from getting mah new name :[

I'd pay extra.

Just saying. Refuse to put stars or hyphens or w/e in name >:o

EDIT: wow lol spur of the moment post, a bit more clarity added.

He want's a name. But that name is taken.  :-X

The name he wanted is probably being used by a lvl 1 novice and the novice isn't active.

If someone took a name I wanted I change it. For example

I wanted a char named Kyle. Didn't have it. Now I'm known serverwide as Kiyle
Distortion, wanted same name. Now Distortion Blade. Or Distortion* etc I have no trouble with name finding.

If someone has already taken the name you can't force them to have another name.  You're just going to have to pick something other then I am awesome.
Holy crap I am awesome isn't taken!

i hope im not the only one who finds it annoying to use random combinations of punctuations and symbols to make a name unique ... or bothersome at least
I feel like whenever i try to pm someone with a name like that, they are trolling me in some subconscious way

Haha. Yeah it's a bit annoying to type in someones name who has many symbols. Or when your not sure if dude is using little "L" or "I" on name like "lilia".

Though I can understand how frustrating it is that someone has already taken your fav. nickname which you happen to use everywhere. I had that same problem here too with my nickkie. My first character turned out to be "Hikariina" instead of "Hikaru". But it's true that you either have to get compination of your nick or make new one. You can't force GMs to change someones nick just because you want it. Afterall aRO has kept datasbase since 2007... you never know if that dude decides to come back to aRO someday... Imagine his/hers face if character of his/her has suddenly changed name. haha. Money doesn't always help (;
