Lode Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 In the post below, please don't mind my usage of names, it's all members of this board or variations of my own RS name! Thanks! First of all it's important to know that my own Runescape character name is Lodev (without any numbers). I was looking at the stats of vmser (sorry vmser :P), then I clicked on his construction (which was around rank 790) to see the construction highscores. In the construction highscores, my eye suddenly fell on a name 10 ranks lower. The name was Lodve (without any numbers). That's exactly the same name as mine, except two letters shifted. I looked at his highscores, and many of his level were similar: 86 cooking, also around level 100 combat, .... His stats were generally higher than mine, and he has farming and construction unlike me who hasn't been a member since farming. Anyway, that's a pretty strange coincidence, isn't it?! I added him and he was even online. I said hi and he replied "wtf???". "You copied my name!". I said "I have this character since 2002". He said "me too since 2002, you copied my date!" He then kept claiming I copied him, but I think he believed that it was a coincidence after I told him to check my highscores and that I could prove that I have a scythe. I never saw him before, and now accidently saw it in the highscores it's a strange coincidence... two chars with a similar name, somewhat similar stats (his significantly higher though), and both started in 2002, and in 2006 I find this out...

Regulus Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I can see why there would be other 'Wakkas' around (There are about 1 million 'Sephiroths'), but unless I am mistaken I don't think Lodev is as famous a name. Interesting. Duumvir in game "...One day I will burn down the rainforest and become a hero." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollerz Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I saw him buying a Phat in World 2. He was buying a yellow! NO JOKE MAN! I thought, is that Lodev? What no it's Lodve. OMG WTF? Click my signature for my blog! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umega Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Heh, wonder if there's a "Lord Omega" some where in RS.... :P :wink: No longer playing Runescape, I caught the WoW bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kewl_Sabre Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 That's one advantage to being a sabre... not too many similar names. : D Although my old main had a very common name, and many people had my name with numbers after it. But as far as kewl sabres go, I'm the one and only. :D Cool story though. I'm off to check the highscores now. 8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regulus Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I have never and most likely never will see another character whose name is a variation of 'Duumvir.' Heck, most anybody I ask has never heard the word before. (It's from ancient Rome, when the empire split into east and west, with one emperor over either side, a government called a duumvirate. Either leader of a duumvirate is a duumvir.) Duumvir in game "...One day I will burn down the rainforest and become a hero." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubsa Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Heh, that's freaky Lode :P I did have a Bubsa jr come up to me one time in Draynor, but I get the feeling someone had read that "How to be a noob" thread. If I find out which one of you it was, why I oughtta! This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inferno_140 Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Theres 3 or 4 inferno's ive spoke to....but it seems i am the only one who has a reason for my numbers. Others just seem to have random ones. Shame. ~/~ Inferno ~/~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
me_poulin Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Ha thats pretty cool, I myself have used my last name and I think it unlikely that anyone would have a name remotely smiler. But I have met people who have the same last name as me, or claim they do. Anyway cool coincidence. Once in a life time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regulus Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Well, I'll tell you something about me and Triumvir: Despite knowing full well what our titles mean, I can almost guarantee that there is neither an empire in our control or anyone else fulfiling any sort of leadership in them. Which begs the question once again, what the **** was I thinking at the time? Duumvir in game "...One day I will burn down the rainforest and become a hero."

stickman_sam Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 My runescape name is =[mage]=pk02 And I just looked up mage_pk02 on highscores and there he was! The brackets, equal signs, and underscore doesn't show up on the runescape name in the game, so if someoen saw us, we would have the exact name: mage pk02!!! =) Crazy huh Also, my account is only level 5 so it wouldn't show up on highscores :P :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinfangs Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 I had a pure who's name was fxasd098aw7a and I saw another guy who's name i fxasd098aw7s. Apparently his random keying style is similar to mine as can be seen from the first few characters... ironically the last letter of mine, A, is directly to the left on a standard keyboard of his last letter S. I found him in the wild and pked him bad cuz I accused him of copying my name :D Head Coach of the G!X Black Scrim Team 2007---Wolfenstein Enemy Territory Internationals--- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
