General Discussion - Is the BETA released? - Forum

Well the Witch was announced on Dec18 so it has to be before this date. Account 5000 was made on Dec20 so the number is less than that. EDIT Account 4831 is the first account made on Dec18. EDITEDIT Small bit of trivia, as of this posting there are almost 7100 accounts. That's a lot of people. Forum Sheriff	Posted by tpapp157#0336 on Jan 5, 2011, 12:52:54 PM Alpha Member Quote this Post
Well, I think that in the time between the announcement of the Marauder/Ranger and the Witch, GGG has just made a list of unavailable profile names in their database (if I was them I would do it this way). So don't waste your time too much on finding the Witch profile :)	Posted by Vandro#3967 on Jan 5, 2011, 1:29:16 PM Alpha Member Quote this Post
You're probably right. Though you never know. I was going to try to code up a macro to go through and tabulate everything. Forum Sheriff	Posted by tpapp157#0336 on Jan 5, 2011, 2:28:46 PM Alpha Member Quote this Post

The community is getting bigger and I always love to see it. Hopefully we'll keep the level and quality of discussions in the future. He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster.	Posted by permaximum#7706 on Jan 5, 2011, 5:28:03 PM Alpha Member Quote this Post
" Vandro wrote: Now some funny things: the profile names Marauder and Ranger are 52 and 55 to block them I guess. At 54 we have Barbie, so my guess is that one of the unannounced classes is the Barbie (jk), or the Star (profile number 57) :P I'm glad you like my name :D	Posted by Barbie#2989 on Jan 5, 2011, 5:28:14 PM Quote this Post
Barbie is a good name and no offense to you Barbie but glad to see Barbie won't be the 4th or 5th class. (kidding ofc) He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster.	Posted by permaximum#7706 on Jan 5, 2011, 5:30:41 PM Alpha Member Quote this Post
Wow, hello data-miners. Vandro is right, there is a list of restricted account names that can't be created (which we'd put game related terms and class names in). There's no point searching through the accounts for interesting names, you've seen all the exciting ones. Lead Developer.

I guess I could make a nice graph showing account growth over time. Forum Sheriff	Posted by tpapp157#0336 on Jan 5, 2011, 5:49:00 PM Alpha Member Quote this Post
OK then. I will register almost all of possible class names like "Necromancer, Rogue, Assassin, Wanderer, Monk, Warlock, Oracle, Hunter, Paladin, Knight, Dervish etc" and secure those won't be the names of 4th and 5th classes :D It will be a hard choice for you to name or rename 4th of 5th classes :P He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster.
