Name in credits

Hi, on the legacy page, we can find this :

3. Legacy members can request that their name be displayed in the credits for version 2.0. One name per service account can be listed in the credits.

How do we request that? Will it be later? I've found no information about this :|

I've been wondering this as well.

They haven't released a date yet I think so we haven't missed our chance. My guess on how it will work is through an e-mail confirmation like what they did with our legacy status.

they'll most likely send an email confirmation

I have been wondering if we are able to change our names if the old or new one will appear on the credits :D

I really want my name to be on the credit. Also I want it in large font and bolded. And appears by itself, not along the others so it stands out. I don't mind either in the beginning, or the last usually with , "And Alonzo Vivas". Like this. If not I will angry.

You will be angry.

"And Twilie Sylfei"

*put my name in SE! :D*

I want my name to sparkle.

If they don't, I will angry.

Well here is what i did:

I wrote an E-mail to the SE-Support and they told me that SE will give us more Infos about it in the near future. So patience is all you need for now.

Is it your real life name or your in-game name?

I'm thinking it's probably real life name, because some of us have alts and the character may be deleted in the future. There may be an option, though.

Wouldn't know about what name, but I do believe that they will probably set up something on the website, that you have to log in to with your account, and press a button that is only pressable if you are a legacy member.

>.> .......... how many people's name can fit into the screen? how fast are the scrolling speed? how small are the text?

lets say if the number of player we have now are about 150k++, that's still a lot of names.... only the player themselves will be looking out for their own name in that wall of text lol

I think this part in the credits is best summarized as:

"and you, the player."

NO I WILL NOT TAKE THIS. They promised my name in the credit.

I'm surprised that people are so thrilled about having a name in the credits. I barely read them. Let alone regocnize names in them.

It's a vanity they're allowing us to have for staying in the game even though it was so terrible when it first came out. I think it's rather nice of SE to do it. Its another way of thanking we the players who said hey you guys fucked up this needs to be fixed and we'll stay.

It's your real name, not your character's name, that you can elect to include in the credits.

I don't remember them saying it will be our real names because they said we couldn't put both character names in the credits if we had more than one....


Legacy members can request that their name be displayed in the credits for version 2.0. One name per service account can be listed in the credits.

Have your name starting with a -Z-, wait 4 hours before it comes up in credits.

I hope that not everyone will be listed and SE will just pick some randomly. It would make no sense to display names of everyone, even with a fast scrolling speed :|

Even if we take "low" figures and says that only 20K players wants to be in, it's still... a lot.

Legacy members' names. Not Legacy member's characters' names. Although the same person can own more than one service account, the vast majority of all service accounts belong to unique individuals.

for the first few months watching the credits would crash your client (and I think corrupt it requiring a reinstall) ><

you know it's still too ambiguous on weither it's our real name or not. I'd prefer character name but if they actually say account holders name then meh. That's why I think it's the character name... We'll know when they give us the option to do it

I don't think it will be 20K, but maybe 2K. They can always split our names into like 5 columns, so that will reduce the length scrolling down tremendously.

Why would you not want your real name in the credits for a video game? Character names mean even less to someone who might actually look at the credits than someone's real name.

I in fact already have my name in the credits of one other game (twice, even). In that case, it's even something that can go on a resume. Not quite the case here since we're basically buying our way in rather than working for it, but you get the idea. Getting your real name into a game is a good thing, even if nobody ever reads it.

Why is this turning into an arguement. I'm just giving you how it reads to me and to me it still seems to ambiguous to know if they're talking about real name or in game names to me it sounds like in game names.

and congratulations on that i'm very proud that you've had that. it's wonderful ...

also i never said i was against it being real name. I'm just talking about the wording of it

Now, I'm at home. Let me explain as to why I would prefer it to be in game names over real life names.

Say you're sitting there watching the screen as names go by like Oh Roseanne Bar.... Carol Burnet, John Doe, Jane Smith, Sarah Palin (pulling names out of my ass just because people recognize them but anyway) and then you're name pops up... you're watching a screen of names of people who you can't associate too or even know who their characters are. However while you're watching the credits for that part you see oh... Alhanelem Amidatelion, Rannie Lfey.... etc (don't want to offend anyone by putting their name in as well) and you see them and you're like OH yeah i talked to this person on the forum or I partied with this person or I'm proud to be in the same ls with said person. There's more a personalization with the people instead of just real names to which people don't know who you are. You're just a random person or a random name.
