Individuall Characters with Names + Name Generator

[GameGeekRob]

Right now, you only have one character and you walk around with your username over your head. It would be neat to have multiple characters with their own names.

It would also be nice to have thematic names for the characters for lore purposes. A name generator that gives you appropriate names would be a useful tool.

Would these character names be unique, so no one else can use them, or will they be usable for anyone? Would it be first and last names? There are multiple ways to go about this.

i’d love to be able to have a first and last name, that way i can keep my name Zouls over all my characters and if i want to roleplay being siblings or relatives with my friends we can use the same last name 😀

Maybe be careful though cause people can grief and log off on a new character and just delete if they get close to being caught one character would be fine though.

limting to 1 character would be stupid. thats why you want everybody able to make and do everything. being able to make multiple characters is adding a choice to the game which is never bad, and most of us wants to have different characters for different things, and claiming people can grief and just delete the character is horrible argument, if they do that you can report it to the dev team and they can ban the entire account like in any game.

Why would you want to have multiple characters in a game that allows you to do everything with one character?

[Zouls]

Cause i hope they dont allow that.

Also for reasons like roll play, or if you are well known on one character and just want to be incognito. Other racial abilities or even having a fresh start are all good reasons to allow multiple characters on one account. Simply bind them all to one account that all shares beacons and accountability and you will have no problems.

I would have to agree with a multiple character option.

If the idea is to have a few starting worlds, multiple character races (and possible class options!) Then having multiple characters could be beneficial.

First, Yes on the Role Players. Most every MMORPG has a Role Play community. Not only do people enjoy it, but it gives a certain amount of life to the game.

Additionally, if i focus one character on fighting and PvP, or hunting temples, and another is a fantastic traveling merchant focused on mining and building, i might want to switch. Especially if there is going to be a progress or leveling system in place. Some people like to level up.

-Checks and Balances

*You need some security with this. @Grimoire- Griefing has and always will be an issue. In the case of multiple characters, you would need each one tied to your username/account, and visible to either everyone, or when you submit a report or ticket that character name can be tracked. No one gets away with griefing. ( and i doubt this game will wind up like Minecraft. It’s pre alpha bud, they don’t even have a proper simple UI yet.. Just you wait!)

*Item Swapping… This can get out of hand. One character hands off priceless gear to make another powerful. We have all seen it happen, and in some cases it isn’t too bad. I don’t know enough about the mechanics of the world to understand if it would add negativity.

*Guilds- Everyone wants to be the guy/gal who betrays one guild for another, being a double agent etc., etc. but everyone also hates it when it isn’t them. If you have multiple characters, you should keep the same guilds and alliances. No sense in fighting both sides.

*Quantity – Too many characters is a lot of trouble. For a game like this, i would say a max limit of 3 sounds acceptable. More would require too much time. Less could be as good as having just one.

*Bans – If you get banned from ANYTHING- Beacons, worlds, games… It should be ACCOUNT WIDE.

Finally — If multiple characters become out of the question, there should be an option for a sort of restart. A chance to begin again. because we have all been to that point where our Main is just done with their life cycle, and it is time to move on.

I am leaving some things out but i am ant work and my brain is fried xD

If the leveling gets implemented as most of us wish at the moment then you’ll never have the problem to start a new char just because your old one is focused on something because it wouldn’t go any faster to level from 0 in a new way than just level your normal chara. Ultimately, it would be slower because most likely you’ll already have leveled whatever skill while concentrating on the branch your good at at the moment.
The race thing is something else. But well, here I say choose wisely and live with it. Or restart your one char^^
