Besides real gamers have about 6 or 7 back up names just in case. Really dude stop being a puss. Were you really that upset when you found out FluffyPussyPants was allready taken. I hope you didn't take it out on your Pokemon card collection.	Posted by Chongo666#6827 on Nov 3, 2013, 3:44:00 AM Quote this Post

" Because as meaningless as character names are, I still have to attribute SOME name to them, and if my first choice is taken then I'm being forced to play some kind of absurd guessing game with a computer instead of smashing zombie faces in. That's a mere usability issue. " In other words, character names are meaningless, but the code of the game treats them as something special, and the conflict is somewhere between annoying and frustrating. I understand however I fail to see your point. Do you simply want players to be identified by their account names (or within some other global namespace) just so there are no collisions in the character name namespace?

" XCodes wrote: So what? No really, why exactly is this a problem? You can have characters identified by an ID number instead of their name for database purposes, and you can have people use unique account names for PM's (which is preferable for communication, IMO, since if you can see an account name you can tell that PenisMuncher17342 is one of your friends on an alt instead of a random noob with no creative ability).
