Shorten Names Poll

[Lamentor]

I'm sure this is long lost with Tanaka out of the window, and maybe it has been said in this thread already, but wasn't the original idea supposed to be that you can create one word nicknames for people on your friend list, or something to that effect? I remember it was extremely briefly talked about, or maybe I'm just going insane.

To be honest, pretty much every complaint I've seen about longer names is a problem with the chat system, not the names themselves. Tab-completion would solve the vast majority of the perceived issues with the current system. You should simply be able to type the first few letters of a name, hit tab, and it give you a drop-down box listing the names of everyone online at the current time whose name matches that criteria. Many problems solved, no changes to the names themselves necessary.
