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?

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.

Thanks for explaining, i knew most of those things but its still funny to read lol. I understand people with PL or TR or SLO or something on the end of their names, just cant understand the TURK34TR or TURK_KRAL or something like that

And i surtenly don't like names like: MUSLIM_KILLA or something like that way.

No...

I only play China...

therefore I only play solo...

therefore I turn off all other names because...

"When I'm grinding, no one else concerns me."

Period.

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 Cruor how long did it took you to make such a detail list LOL

I LOL'd pretty long LOL

totally agree LOL, what bugs me most are the "xXNameHereXx" and the "NameHere989" people LOL

I dont like names with numbers, so i try to make names without numbers.

all my character names are original...e.g i spent about 20mins tryin to think up black_Snow to the best of my knowing its not been used but i did see someone in call of duty with it which confused the hell out of me but yeah ...

if i dont like the characters name i wont use it i hate anything with underscores or numbers and that even tho i have one but thats the only way i could make my name look good lol xD

While that can be admirable, why spend only half a second thinking up the stupid names that flood the environment? Yesterday I spotted at least three different spellings of Arwen in town at the same time!

Other very un-original names ive spotted include.
Lord of the Rings characters (Gandalf being particularly popular)
Popular Comic characters (Not for minor characters like Ice Man or the such, but Spiderman and Superman are pretty popular).

Its bad enough stealing the name, but when you are desperate enough to get the name so that you have to spell it out as S_P_I_D_E_R_MAN that really makes me cry.

omg i just relized i partied with you ealier today lol.

Hrm, I dont seem to remember that. You probably thinking of someone else.

BTW: I actually believe that false build names are actually not that bad, because you can trick someone into thinking that you are running a different build, and the initiate surprise on them in PvP. If you are actually running your named build though... you suck.

Ive now taken up the dogma that "If you have a stupid name, I'm not rezing you now matter how much you spam"

Crap, that rules me out then. Luckily most normal humans don't know where the name came from.

It was generated a tad out of frustration with losing Pinokkio, but it stuck, and haven't heard any negative comments about it yet.
