Discussion on name change

[onivel]

Might not want to use " " in the name as it screws up people trying to send you tells... maybe us -Krix- instead. I had the problem with Badhbh. Just a suggestion.

As a note:  Changing your name will wipe out your RP XP for your current level.

Can use 'Krix' fine too.

Sorry to chime in but I think she just used quotations to say she wanted the name: Krix and not Velkrix.

Hopefully a dm can reimburse the lost xp.

Related question: Do you guys have a database front end set up?

Alright... stop having discussion in the LETO threads, folks.

Address stuff in General Forum please.

XP has never been reimbursed, AFAIK.  There are other things that happen with a name change that can be exploited.

It also serves as a way to dissuade frivolous or unnecessary name changes.

Database entries for each character are tied to their name.

What I do for my names, is use two ' for each side of the name, which makes it look like '' on each side, but it is really just '.  That can also be helpful.

<.<  I wanted her name changed from Velkrix to Krix. No quotations. Bella did this perfectly. It was confusing players to call her Krix with Velkrix over her head. *shrug* Some just remember better than others and I wanted to nip it in the bud while she was still low-level.

Yep! She introduced herself as Krix and they called her Vel. It happened enough for me to LETO. How sad is that?

[lb7]

Try only writing down the name you actually introduce to people!... Like normal people do. ;p

[Deleted]

Uhm.

As someone whose name is longer than the name she goes by...

Your definition of normal isn't mine.  

[lb7]

Which only further confuses myself.

But that's nothing new on my part. That's what happens when I think too deeply on things!
