Just curious as to names for our characters once this ball gets rolling. Humans of course would be easiest. But will there be some sorta help for the other 4 races or maybe the manager sorta gives us alternatives once we enter say a first name for our character <example: I create a non-human and choose the name Lexion> would the manager not accept that but instead give us a few alternative names that may be better suited?
Just a pondering PepsiKing |

Great ideas there, Pep! Actually, Counselor Griffin created actual vowel and consonant patterns for the four non-human race languages on Haelrahv. Rage coded them into a random language and name system. We are real close to being able to do what you've suggested. It would be a great tool and help promote the game environment.
Thanks for all of your input on the boards! Keep it coming!

Wow, you guys actually added something like that into the Character Manager? I'm impressed. The stuff I hear about this game just keeps getting better and better.

<g> not in the CM yet, but it's in a verb I made to generate random names, based on Counselor Ryen's language rules. It'll be available in the CM before we open tho. Right now it's being used for us to name people, objects etc according to a racial standard, and for a system Myst is working on that needs to generate random names. _________________ "Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something." -- Plato

But you heard it right here. It will be a part of the character manager. It will be! |

Yes, in fact there can be many players with the same first name provided they have different last names. _________________ "I'm not quiet...I'm plotting" |

I'm going to be remodeling our offices into a Borg cube. Easier to add expansions that way.

Would it be possible to have the same last names (like to create a family tree sort of thing) and different first names? So long as there is no whole name completely alike that is.
Oh yes, and hello I'm Lee (a female one). |

Players can have the same first name as an existing player, or the same last name, but not both. If that clears things up.
If we had a player named Walter Jenkins...
I could make another player named Walter Conrad. Or a player named Spencer Jenkins.

Yes, as Beau said, there can be Bob Smith, Fred Smith and Joe Smith. There can also be Bob Jones, Bob Smith and Bob Davis. But there cannot be more than one Fred Jones. _________________ "Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something." -- Plato
