    Default Naming patterns

    So i recently have decided to get my character naming act together so that i may be slightly recognizable between alts.

    Arterra (mage lv54)
    Faluna (bird lv30)
    Vosol (bear lv...6)

    notice how i just find a good 2 letters to start it off, and stick a celestial body on the end of it (no copying or you die)

    now... I simply cannot stand the classic Clark/Calrk/Clarkk/xClarkx alt naming standards round here. makes for absolutely no individualism between characters. anyone else got a good system worked out for character names? a theme?

    go to a dictionary and use the first available cool-sounding name
    ex. "confirmed"

    I like to keep it simple. Although I've always wanted a list of God's/Titan's names. I may have to change my theme once B* begins. Maybe scientific animal names such as Lupus (wolf) or Panthera (large cats). Yep, this is now my new naming pattern for B*. I'd like to keep these names, so back off

    nice upcoming theme! you might have difficulty grabbing it tho, check lupus first since it sounds popular and might already be reserved... that is the one thing about the reserving names thing for B* that i dont like. players that are never going to play but have the name in PL are already hoggin' names like God or Wassup... or Barsoom

    there should be a tick box that comes with a patch, asking if you WANT to save your names. that way, we weed out inactive or non-caring players.

    So B* names and PL names are going to be interconnected? Ex. I can't make a character in B* with the name of, let's say, Rebel, because it is already taken in PL?

    no, i think your names are reserved for your email used for your account. since we can use plat bought in both games, im guessing you can reserve your name in both games by having it in one.

    which means double the names will end up being taken.

    which is why we need OPTIONAL name saving

    I named my level 10 and 15 twinks Arktika and Tropika. The first wears a frosty robe, winter present and reindeer antlers; the second a fiery robe and orange headphones.

    Micropooh? Wow. Why have I not heard of that one yet?

    And I just try to think of something on the spot. I sometimes regret that later.

    I changed the name of my bear to 'IKungFuPanda', as soon as I knew how to get a panda face. I decided to change the name of my Mage to 'IkungFuMage', so it would be easier recognizable for excisting friends on my alt. For my 3rd char I decided to stick with the IKungFu, hence 'IKungFuBird'.


    And for all doubters of my rockstar status:

    Is a level 10 bear created for holiday farming, and pretty much that was the only time I used him.

    JustG changed this to a hope, not a guarantee. They are trying to find a way for us to use the same names in B*. From the sound of his comment, they may not have a method figured out, yet.
