Two guilds with the same name.

[Lesrider]

Um... It is quite possible (I'm just going here based on other games since I can't play SL yet) that the other guild existed from the beginning as well, but you never came across any of the members. And the same could be true for the other guild -- both may have existed without knowing of the other, if there's no list.

I dunno, if I had any control over the matter, I'd say the name "Pocket Legends" for PL and "Star Legends" for SL should not work as guild names. It's like building a school or a hospital in the real world and calling it "Earth."

[Carth]

Thenill, I think you should just drop this. You need to know that people are going to do this, regardless. They don't mean to attack you. All they want is a name that they can call themselves. Guild names don't matter. I'll stay in a guild for the people, not the guild name. I choose 'Star Legends Guild' over 'Star Legends' anyday if they had nice, active players and your guild had rude, inactive players.

Oh, anything's possible.

Lol at least it's not just "Earth."
Honestly, "Star Legends Guild," while still lacking creativity, somehow seems slightly better. It's at least claiming to be a guild and not just "Star Legends" like they ARE the game.
The school isn't calling itself simply "Earth" because it would just sound silly (and a tad self-centered).

[Elyseon]

lol, but atleast they added school

[Elyseon]

Like they could be 'star legend squadron'

Ok I made the post to see what I could do to get it worked out. It seems like you have a problem with that. Also I made my guild in the first 15 mins that the beta came out. So unless he did his in the first 14 or sooner then I made mine first. Also my guild is the games name with out adding guild to it so im 100% sure I was first, if I was not first my guild would be not of been (star legends). It would of been something else.


Again ill add. im here to hear what people think I should do. keep pressing the matter or drop it. What would everyone do?

Les said what Flo did, yet you didn't take offense to that...Les has a stellar reputation, he has never written any inflammatory posts that I've read and has been consistently helpful. Also, you haven't mentioned whether or not you took my suggestion. Did you pm Starcommando/Starstash/star something (I forget his other alts)? If a situation can not be resolved privately, by posting on forums, everyone will know how theirs came to be, if they choose to be in the guild, then no loss to you.

@ Les - jays guild was first as Starcommando asked I be in his guild, he said he had not created it yet, (that was just last week) so there is confirmation that Jay's was first because I had previously joined Jay's guild prior to that invite. And I know you can defend yourself, Les, but I merely wanted to point out that others made similar remarks. Fair is fair, no one should be singled out for saying what others have.

[Lesrider]

Thanks for the defense, kallima. I decided to ignore that part rather than start a flame war.

Ok, so maybe he knew.

But the devs don't prevent people from creating copycat names by adding an x to it (my bird has an extra "L" at the end bc every name I could think of was taken and I just wanted to play already). So if they don't do anything to prevent copycat character names, why would guilds get special treatment? I stand by my original statement -- choose a more creative name and it'll be less likely to be copied. And if it is, you just need to get your guild name out there as much as possible so people know which one is yours.

[kallima]

That's actually a very good point about how there is not an attempt to prevent copycat character names. And with that, I'm going to suggest again that Jay try to work this out with their guild master. If a solution can not be reached, then Jay did the right thing by distinguishing himself from the other guild by posting, in my opinion.

Despite the fact that many disagreed, I think this would be a great addition to guild etiquette... NO creating similar guild names.

I thought there was a compilation, albeit incomplete, that Cascade had created? Ah, here is the link, http://www.spacetimestudios.com/show...tar-Chronicles.
Maybe it should be stickied and all guilds can pm Cascade to keep it updated and complete? Hopefully, I'm not being too presumptuous by volunteering you Cas

[Thenill]

Les im sorry I got upset about your post. It was because of all the ?,s and it was kind of seemed like you were trying to make me feel dumb, due to the name I wanted my guild to be called. I wasnt trying to make a jab at you. I wanted to know what people thought I should do, not feel like im being cut down about the name I picked.

P.S. Again im sorry.

[Thenill]

Kallima no I havent just got his name tonight. Going to add him and see if I can pm him about it. I've tryed to message a few of his members and no one would message me back.

[Thenill]

In the end it was not a original guild name. I know that very much so. If it comes down to it ill change my guild name to something else and transfer my members over.

[Bene]

Bro I wouldn't let it phase you. Fact is that this could happen to anyone (someone putting guild at the end of their guild name). In the end, it comes down to who is in your guild that really matters. I don't think that there is really any way that you can resolve it because it is bound to be a common prefix to anyone's guild. Just be happy that you got in on it first ^^

[Flowman]

Les said what Flo did, yet you didn't take offense to that...

It's cause I'm a boss.

The more I think about this though (like 5 minutes) the more I think Star Legends shouldn't be allowed as a guild name, as Lesrider pointed out.
Might as well make a guild called "Space Time Studios" or "Developers" and just pose as STS. Anything linked directly to the game shouldn't be allowed to avoid confusion.

Lol just so everyone knows there is a space time studios guild fyi its a devs guild.

Ok I have talked with a few of my officers. They are not fond of sharing a guild name. Some of them think we were first so we should get to keep are name as a first come first served thing.
We talked and came up with a diffrent name. Elite legends will be the new name if every one votes to change. I already reserved the name. If we do change ill make an alt to hold star legends guild, so that it will not open back up.
Its not for sure yet, I still need to talk to my whole guild about what they think.
whats everyone think about that?

[kallima]

And just feel bad that you will have to spend additional plat, a good chunk too! Totally unsolicited btw, but your actions show your maturity level, just another reason I'm in your guild, and turned down their invite multiple times. Cheers, i know whichever path you decide to take, it'll be successful either way!!

@ Flo - I'll be ordering all your comments with the machismo on the side, thank you!

[cagethewicked]

same thing happened yo dead shot mafia so thier leader should totally get how u feel . sorry for unoriginal rip offs. sum people jus dont have ideas to make own names i guess. n on another note maybe they never seen u around n honestly didnt no.

[MuskTheWicked]

Lol very funny..
Elyseon was right.. Its funny if u guys used the Star Legends game name as a Guild name..
Dont u have ur own origin.? Sorry if its harsh but its just true..
Look at a guild called Blackstar Militia that is just nice.. At least they think of a best name.. Hmm

[Lowlyspy]

Not sure if your attempting to praise BM for originality or bash it for using the game name in its name.

If ur attempting to bash it then i'll explain my reasoning for naming it after the game, i love the game and when i thought up the guild name i wanted it to have "blackstar" to symbolize we were the militia of the UCS Blackstar. Not simply because i couldnt think of a name so i just decided to use the game cuz it was the easy way out of actually thinking.

If ur attempting to praise it, thank you for the complement, i thought it was a very original name

again cant tell if u were praising or bashing so i covered both areas

[ThousandSun]

The guy knew the name was taken cuz it told him it was when try to name it so he put "guild" in, I personaly hate copycats ppl who put xX[Name]Xx <----is just irritating.
