Time to start making sure we're ready for... that

As if alts aren't bad enough already, now names can be changed =/

You guys can figure who is who right ? Whether name is change or not.

 

[MasterAegon]

We can't reveal what dark magic we possess!

 

[Zor95]

There is supposed to be a way to track who is who. My guess is everyone will have a web page listing their name history.

 

[Zor95]

So name changing will arrive as soon as Tuesday. Hope you're ready.

 

[Jedoi]

Wait really?

 

[Zor95]

So apparently they meant that they would only be announcing name changes this week. English isn't their first language.

Doh. Well, on the plus side, we're pretty well ready for it now. I may also probably push the "ready now" changes to live soon so we can see the effect it has on the server (which should none at all from the player's POV) and work out any harder-to-find bugs as we see them between now and Feb.

"If I ban a player “Foo” and he changes name to “Bar”, will he stay banned?
Yes. Same for whitelisted players and oped players. They also keep their inventory, pets, statistics and everything they own on a server"

So is there still a problem anyway?

 

[Ronshaud]

I think anyone who basically can't put there whole username on a sign is gonna change it.

 

[FatPoulet]

Everyone is going to change their names ... going to be one hell of a mess for me to remember who is who.

 

[Zor95]

Name changes fo real 1 week from today. Get thinkin what you'll be changing to. It won't be available for long if it's short or the name of a character. If it's not taken already anyways.

 

[FatPoulet]

I don't know about you guys but I sure am not changing my name.

 

[Cryptite]

Mulling over bigpizza myself

 

[MasterAegon]

I've got too many things attached to MasterTargaryen now. There's no way I could change.

 

[Artagan]

Yeah no, I ain't changin'.

EDIT: Though I will take this opportunity to encourage people with poor RP names to change them, if they're cool with that.

 

[Zor95]

I wasn't born in '95. I'm changing my name so people stop asking me that.

 

[Cryptite]

Zor96

 

[Ronshaud]

Changing my name to Ronshaud. Such a great RP name

 

[Leasaur]

Any updates on to how everyone will be able to keep track of who is who?

I'm pretty sure the admins would know who is who. Sub-Admins and others, might not know.
