Re: Globally Unique Player and Outfit Names


Yes, globally unique means no two players have the same name.

Allowing them the same name on different servers and then making them change it some time later after they have established their identities, reputation, and relationships is far, far worse than having them choose a unique name from the beginning. That is especially true when the merging can happen multiple times as it did in PS1.

Doing it at the start is relatively harmless while doing it later is extremely painful to players. And it WILL happen.
