If you can\'t think of a name what you can do is take a couple of everyday words or names , put them together, and spell them backwards.
For example lastandroid spelled backwards is Diordnatsal, which sounds like a fantasy name.
-
Do I really have to explain this point by point -_-\'
You can read this in the guide:
Name: it can\'t contain spaces or numbers, it must be a fantasy/medieval name if possible.
Wich means you can\'t take names like Cosmos1, Cos Mos, C?sm?s or whatever.
Then there\'s also the fact that there are currently 156084 player accounts registered on the Laanx server, all these accounts have an unique name, so 156084 names have already been taken.

everythings a .ok now i figured it out
-
k thought of a screenname they didnt but i got a message that said you are linkdead
-
if you can\'t connect with it, use this (http://planeshift.fragnetics.com/admin/form.html) and recreate, also you might need to search those linkdead threads.
Oh, and Link is not a good name :P
-
A. It\'s not original.
B. That name is associated with another person who is currently not with us. And he doesn\'t have the sort of rep you want associated with yourself. Though judging by your previous posts a bad rep is gonna be something you will have anyway.

sorry geuss i just got confused and mad i get mad when i cant figure something out sometimes i geuss. il refrain from posting stuff like that on the forum from now on i figured it out and everything is ok now

Dude, you are awesome, I\'m gonna call you Link Jr.
You can replace my only true lost love. We will walk under the stars, and swim naked thought E-coli infested lakes. We will make love under my trees, and I wil make you breakfast in the morning. COME BACK TO ME, OH LINK! ;(
On a side note, I think Link should be back, since these boards have ppl more stupid then Link, and yet they dun get banned. INJUSTICE!

I had the same problem with names.. I was even spitting out names (And there was no #s or spaces in it.) and it didn\'t seem to be working, but finally it did. Will all those character names that are just sitting there unused be taken out so new players when the game actually gets finished can use some common names or even the vets?
-
lol One was taken so i used something else, however i wont be playing for a while, and i made 3 accounts.
it would be good if you could recieve email notification of your player registration with your username and password, so you dont forget (like i have)

try this url when you have probs creating/finding a good fantasy name.
-
btw. the elven, deverry, mixed and dwarfen give great results, tough you have to choose yourself what fits your character best;)
-
what is the max amount of letters allowed in a name, i tryed putting in names like \"FastBear\" or \"FB\" but it ALWAYS SAID \"remove spaces\" and crap, so can any1 help me?
-
Well you can definately have a long name, as I have seen some players with names about 15-20 characters long. Baiscally you just cant use any spaces or special characters. It could be that it is due to using more than one capital letter in the name, but I haven\'t experimented with that to find out.
-
ok... in example, there is the name I WANT : Detritus
Where is the problem with that name ???????????
Name: it can\'t contain spaces or numbers, it must be a fantasy/medieval name if possible.
Do you really think that the name shown in your screens example is fantasy-like name : Molecular ? Muah ah ah ah !
so, why not Detritus, or Rocher, or other ?
there is a problem, we cannot choose anything.

Chemistry has nothing to do with what is and isn\'t classed as \"Fantasy\". I feel sorry for you if you think the word \"Molecular\" is something out of a sci-fi movie.
When you can\'t get any name to work whatsoever, you\'re probably linkdead. If you try creating a name and fail, no other names you try will work, even if they should. To fix that you need to restart the client completely. We have sticky threads explaining and helping people with Linkdead problems, so please read them.
P.S. this thread is mighty old...

ok.
