Name in Credits - Registration Now Open

[Rowyne]

Want to use my real name but can't, being as my last name is technically 2 words and there is no way of representing that in the form they provided (auto corrects any spaces, hyphens, mid-word capitals) and there are literally no rules in the page that say I can't do that. ~Rawr *sad kitty*

I'll hold off adding my name for a bit to talk to tech support to see if it's intentional, but it probably is as some from of abuse prevention... With none of it's rules actually stated and the form auto fixes 'problems'

I am sad to hear that. I'm considering using my real name, but my last name is hyphenated.

Edit: Confirmed, it takes out the hyphen! I'm gonna wait a couple weeks and see if they change it before I break down and use my character name. /cry

Owww.... Should've read the email earlier /blush

For me, this sounds like it doesn't matter (what I asked before)

[Dhalmel]

I used my real name but I will chuckle if I see a "alan smithee" in the credits. Though trust me I was tempted to use Dhalmel <Lastname>

[Destain]

I used my character name well half of the current one at any rate the last will be changing for 2.0

Is this still a go? I would love to change my chars surname but I haven't see any talk about it from the development team in a long time. Last I knew they would "look into it"

Even if they don't allow it in the end i'll make an alt with the name ^^

I'm wondering what reasons are some of you not putting your real name. Aside from the ones that already explained in this thread. Besides the obvious, "I can't use my real name because of characters or spaces" what other reasons are you guys choosing to use your character names. I'm planning to use my real name, I'm just trying to see why you guys want your character names instead.

i still call some of my friends with character names, ff11, even though some of them didn't play over 5 years and myself almost 3 years.
To me, that's them, and they are very used to it, even started to address each other with char names, they grew up together...

/muttering on
name is just a tag. to human or to dog, you need to give that word a meaning, then, it become special. that's why sometimes childhood nickname feels more special because it has emotion and stories attach to it. For the players really attached to the games, their char name must be extra special in their heart and memory.

i use my char name. (last name is just makeup for the fun though, but most of the forum ppl should be able to guess it easilyXD)

I haven't put mine in yet, but I'm tempted to go with my real name, simply because it would have a greater longevity. I may also change my character name.

Because I am a player in this game, my only contribution is by playing this game from 1.0 Alpha until now and giving feedback that either fell on deaf ears or was added/promised due to majority vote. My real name only holds weight to the members of my family and even then they know me by Keith Dragoon aswell.

I see no real point in using a name nobody will recognize outside of those who personally know you which in my case NONE of them play this game. All my RL friends know me as Keith Dragoon and so has everyone I ever met online so I use the name that holds more weight and reputation.

I'll stick to my real name, though it's complicated 'cos I've got a Name, a Second Name, a Surname (from father) and a Second Surname (from mother).
I guess I have to mix names and surnames (Namesecondname Surnamesecondsurname), getting something weird...
Oh well, there I go
