Is it really good to allow digits in names as developers wants?

[Croco]

What do you feel about allowing digits in the names, as developers say you can have? I think myself it will be very frustrating to figure out other peoples name if there are digits included in them. It will be ok, the first tells u do but after a week or a month it will be a severe pain in the a*s.

Can u read this with easy?

thats why they put a copy button

More needs to vote about this as I think is a frustrating problem

[BLuE_ZeRO]

I don't think it's a problem at all. Why would it be a problem? If you want to know someone's name ask them in like IRC or something. If you can't remember it after they say it write it down.

Good and Bad, depending on how players use them

When a players name has bunch of digits in his name is dumb, as it makes it difficult to remember and sometimes impossible to pronounce: ex: By3-Ye65 and giving the fact that outfits may have hundred of players you think ill memorizing that players name?

but use of numbers will be good if they are used effectivly. Player in an outfit may opt to have a code in name to tag there specialization> bonecrusher20 20=Grunt etc.

Imo, this sort of 'typing' or writing or whatever you want to call it is lame.

But thats just me.

Personaly I think it wouldnt matter either way, it wont effect how I play the game

[Hellsfire123]

Im against names that are mostly 1337 speak. What i want is to be able to add numbers to the end of my name. But pl4y4 and and 1337}{4x0r would be annoying to type.

[JohnClark]

I'd personally like numbers so I could have an outfit called Super6x or actually make my name Super64. (Two points if you get the reference.)

[Flameseeker]

I h8 1337 sp33k. I don't want to have to have to message people with names like "1337pwnz0r." I'd rather direct a missile to their forehead.

[BLuE_ZeRO]

People don't make names for other people though. They make what they want. Like I said before if you can't remember something like b0bt3h1337zd00d than write it down lol.

[OmnipotentKiwi]

Just as a reminder, it can be far more annoying then mentioned here. The numbers aren't the only problem, THIRTY-ONE character names also are part of the problem.

Example: xX0mn1p0t3ntK1w1M0nk3yS1aPp3rXx

1337! Really

[BLuE_ZeRO]

Well limiting the size of a name is one thing but limiting which characters you can put in it is pointless.
