@Gothix said in Reserve a name separately?:

Perhaps a system like a blizzard has. Account name, which would be the name we are active under in forums by default (and could be changed once, if people wished, because they didn't plan on it being forum name, so give everyone one inital possibility to change it if they like, then keep it), and then character names in game would be independent of it.

But friends could be found through account name.

For example: my account name would be Gothix but I wouldn't need to have character named Gothix in game, I could have demon named Demonicus, and beastman named Beasty, and people could still find me by searching my account name (Gothix).

Of course if people wished to played incognito, privacy option would exist to be turned on, so people who don't wish their characters known can't be found through account name.

---

Initially, system could set account name to already existing forum user name, and allow people one free change, if they wished, as long as what they wish isn't taken already.

This could work, I know Path of Exiles has that sort of thing i think, I added a friends account name and now when he is online it shows up the persons account name and current chars name hes playing so i can fire him over a private message in game and send him party invites etc via the social tab, and yes if you wanted to be incognito then that should be made available.

I have always used the same char name for my main and i have even bumped into people after years of not having contact with them as they reconised my name of choice going back 16+ years. I usually always play the same sort of play style. Healer of some sort on most games that have healer so the naming is a big thing for me.
I know a lot of people the name isnt really a big thing but there are people who i think the naming is very important for.

Hello all.

I came across this game last week on mmorpg website as i was looking for a new game to play.
As soon as i seen it i instantly got the feeling of Legends of Mir, but a lot more modern.
For me Legend of Mir 2/3 is what got me into PC gaming back in the earlier years and every MMO i have played has always been compared to that, yes it was a old game but it was new back then but many hours of fun, laughter and even stressful moments made the game so great. There were some really decent people on there also, along with the few bad.
I am going back a fair few years, back when dial-up internet was a thing.

I am indeed looking forward to giving this game a try.

Thanks for reading,

@Xzoviac Ah nice.Yeah Mir was awesome back in the day. I use to always be a Tao ha.

I have been looking more into this game and it looks great, i love the building part of it but i have found on any other game previous where there is building there will be people who destroy it before it gets anywhere. Im unsure if the building parts will be in a PVP or PVE area etc.
Of course there is a lot more for me to learn about this game and i will continue to look up things. I also think the items etc in game are all down to the players crafting them etc is great.
My first impression of it being like Mir was down to the map when the players were running around on the clips i had seen, it still reminds me of Mir now, apart from the building etc. I really want to play this game.

@Jetah Nah not a chance i am willing to pay 90 just for a name.
This game may be good but as i havent even played it yet, only seen clips and what people have said about it, it still isnt making me want to spend 89.99 for it just to claim a name.

Usually i find games that i can't use a set char name for i don't tend to play for long, but thats me. Plenty of other games out there i could always try i guess.

Hello all and thank you for the replays.

Indeed i like to use the same player name for every game i have been in and have been put off games when i havent been able to use my name which i have used for the past 19-20 years. I would be willing to pay a fee to reserve my char name. I am not willing to pay 89.99 just to reserve a name though.
Even if they gave a option to pay a little extra to reserve a name when you purchase a lower pack like ADEPT then i would be more willing to do that but for me at the moment i just cant see myself paying 89.99.

Hear is the link to the parts i was mentioning about only being able to reserve a name is you purchase "LEGEND"

@Xzoviac I am usually hoomans when i play games which have a race choice, unsure why.
I did just ask about the reserve a name thing on general discussions, not sure if thats the right place but i have asked ha.
I look forward to seeing more about the game as time goes on thats for sure

Hello all.

As title shows really.

I myself am very much looking forward to this game, just like many others are I imagine.
There is a little bit of a problem though, Reserving a name.

I, like plenty of others I imagine would like to reserve a name but i dont have the funds or will power to spend $89.99 for LEGEND just for a few perks when i am only interested in reserving a name. This game may be awesome, it looks to be that way so far but i am not quite willing to pay $89.99 just to reserve a name.
I would be more willing to pay the $24.99 for ADEPT but the fact i am unable to claim a name with that is putting me off from buying it.
Even if the reserve names are only usable for a certain amount of time after release then i would still be more willing to pay the $24.99. That way if i don't get along with the game at least i wont feel i have spent a huge ammount of cash.

Could reserve a name be added to lower tier passes, ADEPT and MASTER or even just sold seperately?

Thanks for reading.

@Xzoviac Ah nice, so you are playing it?
It sounds like i will be aiming for beastmen planet ha. I imagine town wars will be chaos though.
Mir days of the wars was crazy. Back then with so many people in one map on dial-up internet and potato PC's for even back then it was a lagg fest. Should be fine these days though.

Only thing i have noticed which i dont like is that you can only claim youre char name if you purchase the most expensive early access thing "Legend", not just any of them. Guess i will have to try and be quick in claiming a name when it arrives other wise the wait will be for nothing lol.
I am willing to pay the 24.99 for adept if i can reserve a char name but not 89.99 for legend just to reserve a char name, It is a bit on the steep side, especially if i am still not sure i will get on with the game yet.

I imagine Beta 2 is a long way off yet.

@Xzoviac Ah nice.Yeah Mir was awesome back in the day. I use to always be a Tao ha.

I have been looking more into this game and it looks great, i love the building part of it but i have found on any other game previous where there is building there will be people who destroy it before it gets anywhere. Im unsure if the building parts will be in a PVP or PVE area etc.
Of course there is a lot more for me to learn about this game and i will continue to look up things. I also think the items etc in game are all down to the players crafting them etc is great.

Just quick message to say thanks to all for the warm welcomes.
I havent been on a game forum since the Mir days and that was usually only when the game was down for maintinace ha.
I am indeed looking forward to this game, i just wish i could play it now ha. In the mean time i will try and have a look around to see what sort of classes can be made as still don't know very much about this game.
First impressions are really good so far.

@Yitra haha indeed. The thing is, it really wasn't that long ago.
Going from 56k modem back then to fiber optic internets now, i wonder how we managed to game at all back then
