Name issue - possibly??

[mattbrown]

I've chosen a name from history of a famous person who rose up against the Romans, but someone has said this might be against the rules, reading them i might have skirted close to breaking them, can anyone help, i chose it cuz i thought it was good at fitting in with the role play and with what other names were around.

[Suno_Regin]

It's nice that you're thinking of a good roleplaying name, but this is Yliakum, not Earth. You can't be that person here, you have to be your own person, and give them their own unique problems and things, not someone else's.

If your name is "vague" enough not to be mentioned by every history book in existence, chances are no one is going to hound you about it - but it's still a bad idea. But you didn't mention the actual name, which would help in the discussion :}

[mattbrown]

ok its Vercingetorix - the French Gaul leader

I take on board the above comments (i am totally new to this role play thing - my best friend introduced me to this game and i love it)

I thought i was just a 1st person shooter but having him guide my through the early stages, i am pretty hooked and am taken aback by the friendliness of everyone (having only played online shooters)

Can a name be changed or do you have to start again?

[Karyuu]

You can make a petition in-game, something like /petition I would like to change my name to _____. A Game Master will change your character's name as soon as one is online, and nothing more will be required of you :}

So if you have another name you fancy using, you have that option.

Nobody's going to know who that is. I think you're O.K.

Frankly, an obscure reference like this is better than some of the generic stuff we see.  We just don't want blatant references and annoyances.  Besides, everything is something.

[sesmi]

yeah, One time i saw a guy called "sord445356" or some combination of numbers... he just randomly punches in numbers after sord in each game because he thinks it's a common name and has to put in numbers. I think it's a misspellingg of "sword"

other such names i've seen are "uhaventeredtehmatrix" "spungebob" "sally_gurl" and "bob loblaw"

I think my all-time favorite is "Powerpuff Zombie". Powerpuff Zombie, whoever and wherever you are, you once made my day.

"Fizzy Bizarre" about made me snork my coffee

Nobody's going to know who that is. I think you're O.K.

Vercingetorix, an obscure leader that nobody knows?

You are not serious, are you?
