Cool usernames
-
As we have all entered the game early, we've had a chance to snap-up some cool usernames before the swarm of users take them. I feel very fortunate too have been able to get my actual name as a username.
Anyone else manage to snap up some cool usernames?
-
No one snaps up anything, everything gets deleted, and it's up for grabs when game is released later on.
Everything you create in alpha and beta is temporary.
-
that just means dont use your cool username now and get it stolen

@Gothix Patron and above can reserve their character name - at least for Kickstarter - not sure if that carried over to site-based packs since I don't see it listed there.

It's still part of the patron pack and higher: From the Store page:
Patron:
6 months of VIP membership (1 year total - retail €120)
4,000 Dynamight Gold (10,000 total - retail €50)
6 months of free Carpenter NPC contract (1 year total)
1 additional character slot (2 total)
Construction Plan for an exclusive Founder Villa
Reserve unique character nameetc etc
-
@Yitra Ah, I didn't actually click the button so didn't see it
-
my name is unique no one ever takes it
-
Makes note of name to take it first... jk I will always try to get my name since it goes with all my socials and twitch lol
-
I'm also above Patron, so can anyone confirm that we will still have the username when full game starts?

It's not possible to reserve a name yet. That will come closer to the release.
-
I'd prefer to have something similar to an account name added to the character name. this would mean there are no name reservations as the account name would be unique (and could be hidden on the screen but any chat/pm/trade/etc would use the account name).
Blizzard uses a battle tag, Discord uses a tag (#xxxx) at the end of the name, it at least gives 10,000 users the same name.
-
I like blizzards system, because otherwise the longer the game goes on the harder it is to get a name till eventually you have frustration names like wqfgebfadg (wich will be taken too)

Well, I did see Xzoviac2 last night..... I know, it was probably you, lol
-
System could also be expanded so that characters have first name and last name, and requires combination to be unique.
This expands possibilities a great deal, and also gives options to role players to share last name, with different first names.
-
@Gothix
i honestly hate last names, even thinking of them gives me pdst.

@Specter I spoke to @Prometheus in game chat earlier, he said if somebody pledged above Patron then we keep our character name. Can we get some confirmation on this?

Specter said name reservation would be happening closer to release, a few posts up
-
I see, so has anyone clarified whether users who pledged higher than Patron get to reserve before the people that didnt?
