Agma suggestion (locked name)
#1
So i was wondering if there could be a option to Lock your account name for Gold members, so for example if i wanna use the name "HazR" i would have to type a Username and a Password. So that people cant get faked. It would make it alot more easy for players to trust eachother, and it should only be like the normal character name that should be locked.
Btw my real name is Cam, people just call me Kevin

I could be wrong, but I would suspect that accounts will become involved, and that would have the same result.

are you talking about names on game cells? How will that stop anyone from typing what they want as a name
Bullies have personal issues.

So when i for example wanted to use the name "HazR" and typed it in, it would activate a script that would require me to type a Username and a Password to use that specific name.

A protection to avoid the fakes and thus avoid that people use the identity of another person


I would also add an option change password

Good idea. I think it should be like that for every one not just gold members. Its more a tool than a benefit. Sora could then effectively and quickly deal with IP numbers who have names like "No Dogs No Niggers"  He will only need the name and then he has the ip number. Others wouldn't be-able to fake names and cause  trouble.

I think a proper login system has been intended from the start, but that they did this for ease-of-use, and to get people testing the Beta version faster.

It clearly can't stay the way it is, for technical reasons.

Locked nicknames cannot be implemented since there are multiple issues behind. It is a nice idea. It was partly worked on, but there were too many conflicting issues with the idea. (players who are already spawned with a specific nick, players on other gameservers, duration of nickname lock, user interface for it all, skins previously attached to a locked name, and more)
Remmeber that you have both username, and nickname. Username cannot change and is unique, but nickname can change and is not. It might be possible in the future to right click a playercell and view its username if logged in. As well as viewing player's level. That should make it impossible for someone to fake being you.

Being able to right click and see username and level would eliminate any friends believing that a fake is you. Great idea @Sora

I kind of figured that you'd do away with nicknames altogether...

You could allow a user to change their name, I suppose, if the name weren't already taken.

Name changes drive me crazy, and make me not want to talk to anyone... (lol -- on Discord and in the game alike)!
