Then you might as well start limiting the outfit names by their Initials.

you have ceased making sense.

try again in english.

I am not sure what confused you but I will try again.

Say my clan's name Storm Troopers.

Now one clan alread has S as their tags and another clan has ST as their tags. So what does "Storm Trooper" use for it's tags?

I guess you could use STTR, but that is weak, and what does "Super Triumph Trooper Renegades" use? SUTRTRRE? That is just silly. Clan tags effectively limit your choices of clan names.

I would really like to learn how this system actually works. I haven't heard it seriously from anyone who would know. What about retards who just add your clan name to their name? What's to stop that. I can see a lot of CDL wannabe's just entering that themselves. This would be a great Q for the shoutcast.

I was wondering the same thing. And how do you register your outfit name?? Do you actually have to do something, or will every person who resigters a name be given the option to type their clan name in, thus creating a new clan out of nowhere, even if they are not in a clan??

The system in DAoC worked ok for creating guilds.. you would take a full group and then you had to talk with a NPC in you empires palace. The leader of the group would then then be the leader of the guild. It also had a prize creating a guild, it was to expensive for a lvl 5 guy, but easily afordable for a lvl 20 guy..

well then by your logic a majority of the teams in t2 would have gotten fucked out of their tags by whoever got it first.

but almost everybody loved it and nobody complained. hm, i wonder what that means.

(i'd bet it means you're wrong)

I never played T2 so I am not familliar with how they worked their tags, however I expect Planteside to be recieved by more people then T2 was. With it's persitant nature, I bet it will have a higher percentage of people in outfits then most FPSs including T2.

So you are comparing two different animals. It is flawed logic logic that says: just because it worked for T2 it will work for PS.

But we shall see.

I just hope all the l33t dummies head for Vanu...

Snake13 · 2003-02-07, 03:34 PM

Tags would look very dumb on the subtitle, the do the full name in DAoC and its very nice

Doobz · 2003-02-10, 10:04 PM

could my name be considered drug related

OmnipotentKiwi · 2003-02-11, 01:22 AM

Names can be between 3 and 31 characters with no spaces. Numbers can be used.

Oh my, please no... I don't care how at home you want FPSers to feel, the numbers is just rediculous. Not to mention 31 character names? I always considered my name huge and it is 14 characters, now we are going to have to type into names, correctly, that are up to 31 characters long, WITH numbers in game for things like private messaging, etc?

If this is true, give me a server choice that has no numbers, smaller names, and "in-character" naming, so I can avoid this like the plague.

Zatrais · 2003-02-11, 05:47 AM

The people whit 31 chareter names whit numbers in it will most likely be people you don't want to interact whit.....

Going by past naming experience.

I don't like the numbers in a name and that long a name.... 20 chars, 1 capital letter, no spaces and the standard name rules that most MMOG's use is what i'd like

OmnipotentKiwi · 2003-02-11, 09:00 AM

I completely agree Zat, and even though people with 31 character names with numbers may not be someone you WANT to deal with, you may have to, and if there is a lot of them...
/me shivers.
I hope they change this.

OmnipotentKiwi · 2003-02-11, 10:33 AM

Here, found a better example why this naming policy is horrible. This is my new in game name:

xX0mn1p0t3ntK1w1M0nk3yS1aPp3rXx

Perfectly legal too.
