Last names
« on: April 06, 2003, 04:43:08 am »
I think planeshift should allow spaces in names. This will allow for more names to be chosen and is far more realistic. Replace the space with the _ character behind the scenes to avoid any errors with the code, when the name is then displayed you show the space instead of the _.

For things like /tell require a comma after the name so you know what the name is if you are talking to someone with both a first and last name.

/tell Draygo, instead of /tell Draygo
/tell Romonov Ravonti, hi
or a user could type,
/tell Romonov_Ravonti, hi
because an underscore is used behind the scenes and is used interchangably with the space.

This will allow a much wider selection of names. This is VERY important because if you plan this to be Massive Multi. you should maximized the amount of names people can use.

Thanks!
Edit: Seems to be slightly addressed in another post titled \'Names\'

In a massive multi...you dont need last names but here is a good idea...the only thing is that it should be made like Everquest (t)(r)(c) lol.

At a certain lvl you should get your last name (Depends how many lvls you can make) or you can make a quest so you can get a last name. Anyway I like your idea

hmmm, how about a name and a surname (with spaces) and a \"nickname\" to call someone? ...maybe just using the first name?

As Draygo said in his post, there is already one (well, more than one actually) post about this, go there
