Namingway Card items?

[Seraphi]

Absolutely, positively, HELL FRIGGIN NO.

Namingway cards would get rid of any semblance of accountability the game still has. People will be rude jerks and eventually get blacklisted to the point nobody will party with them or when they add kicking to parties they'll get kicked right away due to reputation. But if there are namingway cards, they can avoid any punishment or accountability by simply changing their name.

No, no, no, no, no.

You're making a mountain out of a molehill.

I don't know how SE does their database systems, but pointers are usually used. Meaning that if a name changes in the database, the pointer doesn't change. In other words, a name change will update on the various lists via pointers. Even if SE doesn't have these implemented, they wouldn't be hard to implement. edit: Apparently my assumption is correct, as per the FAQ. Names are global.

That said, it's a moot point. SE has already confirmed name changes are coming.
