sooo I reversed it lol Sunaj

Or as I like to call you.. SunnyD. :love:

I go to every server and make an Itonami char so nobody poses as me. <_<
There was a guy who made ltonami though, with the lowercase L.. and botted at chakji for a while. THAT pissed me off. >_>

I saw Harry_P0tter, LordVoldy, and Remun_Lupin today xD Wolf was obviously Remus, rabbit was Voldy. lol.

Also don't remember which server, but I saw a Batman, Superman, Catwoman team.

my name is original and cool

what is annoying is people that reference or try to change the names of popular novels by adding lets numbers or different spellings

like w@r0fth3w0rlds or something like that, how stupid is that

hootsh · Post by **hootsh** » Sat Jul 28, 2007 9:07 pm

That topic is useless imo...pretty much a place where everyone can brag about their l33t names..i'm not flaming neither am i saying this is bad but...with about 9879878978989 people registered on the same server or something lots of names have to be taken and a name is not really much of an important issue to me..whats important is getting people to know it and giving it some rep...if you just pick a decent understandable name that ok with me i dont care if it has _ or caps in it...etc...the only thing i hate is copied names on purpose..its like identity thefts..

I'm too lazy to figure another original name my self...i have hootsh..but got bored of it..

labarada · Post by **labarada** » Sat Jul 28, 2007 9:11 pm

all my names are oringianla and kinda random, i usually take a minute and think of something simple without numbers, underscores, dasies or any thing, just leters the 4 names i have used are vento, Labarada, Zerfith, and Arso . only one of them actualy has a meening and its Labarada it meens blaze in some other language, and the kick ass thing about it is my name in real life is Blaze, NO JOKE i love my mom for it, but some times i get anoyed when i see names likek blaze9 or ultimate_blazer you knopw stuff like that

Xyphus · Post by **Xyphus** » Sat Jul 28, 2007 9:24 pm

100% original

Also saw some funny names like : headsize72cm..

nightbloom · Post by **nightbloom** » Sat Jul 28, 2007 9:51 pm

Someone here on the forums a long time ago had the ign of UB6IB9 and I loved that name... My Euro char is named after a Nordic deity and nightbloom is just a name Ive had a long time. I usually use literary or mythological names and I hate underscores or numbers and things in names. It usually means you wanted a name that someone else has already and instead of being original, you just added _ or 8 to it.

Cruor wrote:Yes! There are so many names that bug me.

Commercial product names, like "Xbox360".
Unoriginal names, like "Legolas" or "Thief".
Build names that don't fit your build, like "SuperBlader" on a S/S nuker.
Build names that do fit your build, like "SuperNuker" on a S/S nuker.
Names that aren't names; "SuperBlader", "Thief", or "Xbox360".
Names in alternate caps, like "SuPeRbLaDeR".
Names in all caps, like "SUPERBLADER".
Names in all caps, with underscores in between, like "S_U_P_E_R_B_L_A_D_E_R".
Names that aren't capitalized, like "superblader".
Names with numbers after them, like "SuperBlader94".
Names with that straight-edge crap, like "xSuperBladerx".
Names with even more stupid straight-edge crap, like "xXSuperBladerXx".
And of course, names like "dghaslkgs".

Pretty much, the only names that I do like are ones that are capitalized, relatively short, unique names that aren't distracting.

lol i would have to agree

is mine "Xia_Hou_Dun" Cruor approved?

I agree with all of that.
Hmm... I can't think of anything else to add.

Oh, I have one, when the person spells the word wrong, like "pworefull" (powerful).

There's a guild in Pacific called "T_R_U_K". Instead of "T_U_R_K". :banghead:

Have you noticed names with KRAL or TURK in it?

I mean, not being racist, it's nice, but can anyone explain me why is this so popular and why is it written with Caps Lock ON?

Davids · Post by **Davids** » Sun Jul 29, 2007 12:36 pm

I used to know a guy called ____O_o____ in pacific. Few days ago I see ____O_o_____ global something and I though I say hi.

Guess what, it aint the same guy (compare the names). And how in the hell am I supposed to call guy like that in guild?
Also at the starting days of tibet there was a dude called Q_Q. He was a nice guy, but what kind of name is that?

Kral is some very popular kind of "knight" or something, not sure if from a myth or from a movie or something.

Kurt is a wolf (that's why their wolves are often named kurt something).

Well yeah and TR, Turk, Turkey, Turkiye are because of their strong patriotism I guess ... and of course to find people who speak their language because their english is often not that good.

Some (grown up) turk told me that once while chatting.

Caps might be just to make it look oustanding (?), who knows, but not all of them do that and alot of people from other countries do it as well.

Bleh, I saw Silkroady a few hours ago (taking up server space (afk))
I try to name my characters by what they do, not what they are.
For example, my Rogue is ShadeRunner, because she runs in the shade (stealth)
A few names I've used in my test chars-
DoubleStrike (Dual Axe)
FarShooter (Wizard)
HateBringer (Warlock)
