ALT-characters are just as bad as Numbers in names

Except, of course, if it’s used properly. Like Renée.

So, you couldn’t get the name Wrath for your Demonhunter? Wräth is NOT the way to go.

Is it bad that I actually sit there trying to pronounce them?

I feel the same about gamertags, on xbox.

It is weird to be in red dead online, where I just have a name I made up, but every other player I see is “DEATHSAVIOR237y8934343834973” or something.

The other thing I don’t get about that game is:

It has you pick a “Nickname” for that character, on the Xbox red dead online, but everyone still just sees your gamertag name? I find that odd. Like the name I picked for my asian female was “Pookie”, but everyone sees my gamertag name as her name instead? Weird.

I don’t even know how to pronounce any of those. Not even yours… LOL

What gets my goat is is anything with “x” or more in them.

I rather use alt char on a name that i prefer, than no alt char on a random name i just made up.

it’s an unfortunate consequence of unique naming system.

and DEATHSAVIOR237y8934343834973 is pretty bad. but still better than TimmyONeill. you can probably tell this kid is 9yold and is probably named Timmy.

Like, I know you really wanted the name Willferal for your druid but is Wìllfêrâl really necessary?

And what about Prîëstìtúté, come on it’s not that good of a name.

Well my name is supposed to be Sa’angreal (pronounced: SAH-ahn-GREE-ahl

My marker is the easiest. Just greater emphasis.

I mean, I can understand everyone is jealous of the perfection that is your name.

But… making Álex… just doesn’t cut it.

I’ve seen people with names like Ilililiillil. Those names annoy me.

Honestly. Roleplay Server Naming rules for ALL servers, please!

i think if your name isn’t a monosyllabic grunt you should change your name

I agree! Go no accents or go home! They should be suspended for cheating!

I really don’t care if people use them or not. I can still not like it. :wink:

Names with accents & hyphen letters?

Yeah me too…

The servers are so old that a lot of names are taken so some people gotta improvise. It’s not their fault. Surnames would help a lot with this

I liked how D3 allowed you to have any name. It is attached to your Bnet tag. You really are warrior#5123, but it hides it.

Wellp… I mean I enjoy using my real name (Carlo) as my character/aliases online because it’s pretty unique. So when it’s taken (which it is on most realms), I improvise an throw in an alt code.

One ALT code is fine, its when people name their character something like Ðêàthßrïñgër is when it goes a tad overboard.
