    Default What inspired you to come up with your in-game name(s)?

    I came up with Zylx with just two seconds of thought. I went through the ABC's, picked out xyz, flipped it around to Zyx and then went through the alphabet to find another letter. Zyrx? No. Zypx? Nope. Zylx? Aha!

    When I first started playing, I wanted a fiery, powerful sounding name for my mage, so i went with incendius. Deleted it long ago.

    After incendius, I wanted to make a warrior with a greek sounding name. I wanted leonitus but it was taken. So I searched greek words and came across something that had the prefix kreo in it, so I made Kreonitus. No longer have that name either.

    I have Stitches, Title, and Titanic because they are pretty cool names lol. I also used to have Stitch and Entitled, but now they're gone forever! :/

    I also have Odd, I got it from a friend. I think its a really cool name.

    I have a mercher named Merchantlord, because I kept losing track of where I was selling my stuff, so I decided to put it on a merchant lord. I realized it was too much of a hassle so I stopped using it.

    Originally got Visting due to the -ing ending (lol), later grew to love it and all the puns that players PM me in game XD
    As for Inotrich, I took it because it's just ironic to see a top geared rogue running around saying they're not rich, or at least in my opinion

    My IGNs:

    Alhuntrazeck (original): When I first joined the game I picked mage because of the description which sounded so cool (master of the elements & stuff), so I wanted an arcane sounding name. My last name IRL is Hunt, Al is AL (Arcane Legends), and the rest was born of my key-mashing skills.

    Acrobotics: My second toon, a warr. I combined Acrobatics and robotics

    Alhuntyoudown: Third endgame toon, it was originally a twink, hence the slightly offensive name which sounded good then at the twink levels but gets me picked on a lot at endgame, LOL! A friend of mine in AF chose the name for me. (Alhuntyoudown, I'll hunt you down, get it?)

    Those are my main 3 chars, I also have lots others, some I made simply for no apparent reason other than to hold on to names I thought were good then. I also have another rogue Alhuntrazekk which I created as an attempt to create an OP character when mages were weakest unfortunately it is still L17, lol!

    Some of the names I own: Interrogation, L15 timed runner who never runs timed runs, I made it hoping that someone would invite me and lend me gear ; Kindled, Abducting (to play along with a friend, Abducted), Incombustible, Abhorred, Wailing, Foldable, Reminding, Unassuming, Absorbant, Scorchtape (ripped off Cero's Scotchtape), Alhuntstash, Alstash, Alhunstash (LOL)

    I'd started playing the game just after reading inheritance cycle ( fantasy novel series) and all the elves in the book had archaic names delather, uruthael, etc.
    So, i made one of my own, and hence
    my IGN - Daethr

    I really love the combination ae. I think its exotic and it looks pretty cool because it looks like a yin and yang.

    I wanted to be creative with my names despite most of the creative names being gone, I also wanted them all to be coherent. So I came up with the chalk Idea, names in sig.

    I actually really like my names!
