Im still learning all there is to be about this game, but is there a name cap like Everquest, where if you enter a server you have to create a name that isnt taken by anyone else? Or can you willingly create a name and not worry about some shiesty basterd already taking it? Thanks in advance.

yeah its like EQ, only one person can have a name.

no, i think people can have the same names. thats what i heard.
Talis

no you cannot have the same name, How can you Send a message to someone then?
if someone had the name Sam..
then if i did /tell sam
all 50 people would get it..
If someone has taken the name, then its taken, Period :)

Ah hell, but is it as evil's as EQ's is, Where you cant add anything but letter's? Or can you add puncuation or numbers?
Talis
03-17-2003, 12:29 PM
and i am 99% Sure that Miles is taken..
if the Name is not Original, then it is probably taken.
AnraiNavle
03-17-2003, 12:44 PM
sry, forgot to think of that. i hope my name isnt taken
Anaki
03-17-2003, 12:46 PM
yeah i know my big fear is all names i can choose are taken and i end up with a stupid name like some random letters

Do you know if Siya is taken because if someone has taken it I'm going to have my friend send them a virus, lol maybe not. Sorry I just had to ask.
AnraiNavle
03-17-2003, 01:11 PM
lmao, if someone took my name (which they prolly wouldnt, unless they saw my name here and decided to use it), id send like a hitman to "take care" of them lol :p nah, i wouldnt really. ill just attack some monsters, then run, and make them follow me, then lead them to the person who took my name and watch them perish :biggrin:

ROFL why didn't I think of that.
AnraiNavle
03-17-2003, 02:29 PM
lol
"why is it that whenever i see that mithra, i seem to get attacked by a big group of monsters that kill me?"
me: "Hi."
"GAH! STAY AWAY FROM ME!" ::runs away::
soon after, a big monster comes up and kills the name stealer in one hit
me: ::watches and laughs wickedly::
:biggrin: no one better take my name....or this just MIGHT HAPPEN! lol
yuna544
03-17-2003, 03:07 PM
ROFL, that's what I'll do if someone takes my name, but I would have like 4 Behemothes (how ever you spell it) chase me then I would run towards the name taker.
It would go something like this:
Name taker: Why is the Mithra beging chased by 4 mehemothes?
Name takers friend: She seems to be running this way.
Name taker: What should we do?
Name takers friend: Lets sit here and watch.
Name taker: Is it me or is she getting closer?
Japanese player: NIGETE!!
Name taker: What does that mean?
Namer takers friend: AHHH!!! She is coming over here.
Me: I brought you a present.
Name taker: GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME!!!! I DON'T WANT THEM.
Behemothes come and kill the name taker.
Japanese player: *lauging* I told you to run stupid.
Me: *pointing and laughing*
This is a very good idea and I'm going to use it if anyone takes my name.

LMAO! strike fear in people's hearts... when id walk down a street, everyone would hide.
"hey, where is everyone?"
"GO AWAY, BEAST BRINGER!"

lol, level them down until they hit the negatives..... ::evil look on face:: if thats possible :biggrin: anyway, i think ive scared everyone enough so that they know not to steal my name:biggrin:
yuna544
03-17-2003, 03:39 PM
Lol.
Or get infront of the name taker and have a whole bunch of monsters (that shoot things) shoot all at once and then get out of the way ^^.
Yeah I don't think anyone is going to steal our names now.
AnraiNavle
03-17-2003, 03:42 PM
MWAHAHA! fear the psycho mithras!
lmao, we're spamming up the forums, i think we should stop :sweat:
yuna544
03-17-2003, 04:00 PM
Lol, ok:sweat:.
Anyways so can you have puncuation in your name, like Siya. wouldn't be that different than just Siya I can live with a period at the end of my name (but I would still attack the person that took my name:p).
AnraiNavle
03-17-2003, 04:05 PM
lmao, we should PT together and be the cops of vanadiel, seeking justice by luring monsters to name stealers :biggrin:
whoops! i cant make it ALL spam...
can there be punctuations in names? i didnt know that. i thought it was just letters. then id make my name ANRAI!!!!!!!! lol :spin:
yuna544
03-17-2003, 04:10 PM
Lol, sounds good to me:biggrin:.
And I also have another question is it one name per server or one name in the whole game.
AnraiNavle
03-17-2003, 04:12 PM
i think only a server. if it was the entire game, the chances of ur name being taken multiply by 20! :sweat: so i think it would only be among servers.
yuna544
03-17-2003, 04:16 PM
Well that's good, but still there's a chance that it will be taken.
yuna544
03-17-2003, 04:27 PM
Do you name your character or your name the same as you account name?
Lol, can someone (who imported FFXI) search for the name Siya on the ragnanrok server, so I'll know who to lure monster to :biggrin: (I'm importing).
AnraiNavle
03-17-2003, 04:47 PM
i might be importing too! anyway, i think its possible to search for characters to see who will be the first to perish under my wraith....:biggrin: i hope we're not scaring any future importers off ragnarok...:sweat: lol.
"im not going to ragnarok! those psycho mithras Anrai and Siya play there! I COULD BE KILLED!"
yuna544
03-17-2003, 04:57 PM
ROFL, well if that happened we wouldn't get any lag since we're the only ones there. And what about nebies "They never told us the psycho mithras Anrai and Siya play here, HEEEELLLPPP."
Also (I know this has been asked before but I don't want my whole post to be spam) what's with the different color names?
AnraiNavle
03-17-2003, 05:12 PM
lmao, people would be asking for world passes OUT of ragnarok! :biggrin:
i think the colored names have something to do with ur character's status. all i know is that white means ur normal and gray means ur dead. green means its an NPC.

AnraiNavle
03-17-2003, 06:18 PM
lmao, yeah, this was pretty funny, but its like 99% spam :sweat: i hope we dont get banned or anything :sweat: :sweat: :sweat: :sweat: :sweat: :sweat:

Guys stop with your Spamming and Chit Chat, if you want to talk AIM Each other, all i see is you two carrying on a conversation, and your taking up valuable space and limited bandwith that this forum has.
AnraiNavle
03-17-2003, 06:34 PM

No spaces, no numbers, first letter is capitalzed.
So you cant have mItHrAcHiCa89 or anything...
Mithrachica = what it'd lewk liek
So choose thy names wisely.

lol its funny but yalls theories of killing a name stealer are far fetched... fore warning to yall before ya try it
1. good luck finding them lol
2. The monsters wont stop following u and attack them, the monsters will kill u and go back to post unless they aggro them, and those chances are high.

This topic is starting to drift into the "pointlessness" area.
Plus, the question was answered. No repeated names, no punctuation, no less than three characters, and no more than thirteen. Only one capital letter, at the beginning of the name. Schiz.
