Character Names and Colors
Mi, 07/20/2011 - 19:23
Here are a few things that I think should be implemented to modify character names.
Capital Letters (Case Sensitive): You should be able to put capital letters anywhere in your name. For example, if i wanted to name my character "Knight" but the name was already taken, you should be able to make the name "KniGht" or any other combination of letters. Also, the first letter shouldnt be automatically capitalized, you should be able to decide.
Spaces: Your character name should be able to be more than one word. A name with two words clumped together like "Spiralknight" doesnt look as good as "Spiral Knight." I understand that there are hyphens at the moment, but some people would most likely prefer to uses spaces.
Numbers: You should be able to have numbers in your character name if you so choose.
Character Name Changes: A feature should be added into the game that lets you change your character name in exchange for a SMALL amount of energy (Let's say 250 CE). However that amount could be increased if this feature is abused and people are rapidly changing their names.
Colors: You should also be able to edit the color you picked at the beginning of the game, in certain instances, a specific armor does not look very well with certain colors. People should be able to edit them in exchange for energy.
I hope these features are taken into account. This game is rapidly growing and one word character names are beginning to get old. With more options, people can be more creative and have more things to choose from.

Yea i wasnt sure on numbers
Yea i wasnt sure on numbers either. But you never know what some people want i guess. And yes. I can see maybe a character name switch for everyone who had an account before this update (if this update ever happens), so that they could use the new features without deleting their character. This way there isnt any "switching abuse"

Yes or no?
Numbers and Caps in names - NO.
I can imagine stupid names like GiRlYPiNk1325 ... blah.
YOu can have a dash in your name instead of space (so you can name your knight Spiral-Knight instead of Spiralknight).
Name changes... not sure if it'd do any good. Probably not, it would only causes confusion and mess.

Note on names
A word "KniGht" is not a name actually. It can be user login or nick but names start with capital letter and are follewed by lower-case - at least in languages that use latin alphabet. So far it's the only alphabet you can use in SK. If there's name made of two names, like Jean-Marie or Jean-Claude, there's a hyphen inbetween not a space. Of course you can have more then one name and then you use spaces between them, but so far in SK there's "name" not "names".
I'm happy that OOO seems to be orthography and typography conscious company :-D

Okay this makes sense. Thanks
Okay this makes sense. Thanks
caps and spaces sure i can see that happening but numbers in a game are utterly stupid imo
i dont mind character name changes but OOO would need to mitigate the risk that people might abuse it by say violating rules and then changing their name
colors i dont care either way
