BlackKingX Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 If you take a look at your RuneScape forum profile, you will notice next to your name, it shows your name again... In brackets though...... As I can see, there is no real point to this.. Could Jagex be planning to do something else forum related? I have heard rumours about you being able to create nicknames for your RuneScape character in the future.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAHK Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 If that happens lots of people will say things semi-anonomously that are flames, scams, misleading, and/or plain mean. Yes they can get banned/punished but nobody will be able to remember who is who if they just repeatedly switch names OR meet them in-game. Say somebody threatens to kill you in the wildy (lame but it happens) with their forum name, gets banned from forums, and then messages you a week later with their different runescape name and says "Wanna pk/kbd together?". Normally, you have the chance of remembering that this is a person with a chip on their shoulder but with this name-change thing you do not have that chance. Not to mention that this wouldn't really have any benefits. I mean why would you want to use a different name other than to say things that you are not proud of saying normally? :? PM me in game to use some skills of mine (glories/potions) free or to ask a question.Fire Cape - 04/29/06 Lvl 104RAHK's Pro PC Gear and Guide(clickable) Tired of hack and slash? FPSers getting old?

I'm thinking it might have your nickname, and then your username next to it in brackets.. For example.. Nickname ---- Actual name George(BlackKingX) - lvl 101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
--fistofbeast-- Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Maybe, nice catch. This does come off as new to me also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iuqiddis_sm Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 that would be pretty awesome...if they made nicknames. I never intended to play this game...so i made the randomest sn. And here i am a few years later.... but i think they'll never actually make sns. I can already see a few thousand zezima's popping up in every f2p world.

I mean why would you want to use a different name other than to say things that you are not proud of saying normally? :? Well, RSN's are one of those things you get one shot at. If you decide sometime after you make your account that you don't like your name exactly as it is, this would be a cool alternative to change it a bit. You and I have no numbers in our name, but I have dozens of friends that wish they could have a name sans-numbers. Also, some people prefer to be called by their RL name, or a shortened version of their name. Once again, you're RAHK and I'm Cdub, both "nick names" are shortened versions of our actual names. I think nick names are a cool idea, and I can definitely see them being created sometime soon! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAHK Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 I'm thinking it might have your nickname, and then your username next to it in brackets.. For example.. Nickname ---- Actual name George(BlackKingX) - lvl 101 Well if that is the case then there should be no problems similiar to the ones I mentioned. I guess that some people might like that but mine would be "RAHK(Rahkurwrld) - lvl 111" anyway, lol. Why would your combat level be added, though? Just for fun I guess? Might get some high levels to be trusted more than they automatically should and lower levels the opposite. Not to mention that this wouldn't really have any benefits.

I'm sure everyone in the top 21, especially Zezima and N0va, would LOVE and update like this. Thanks to all the noobs on the forums Zez can't even use them without someone flaming him or some noob spamming his post just to say hi :lol: . [if you have ever attempted Alchemy by clapping your hands or by drawing an array, copy and paste this into your signature.] Fullmetal Alchemist, you will be missed. A great ending to a great series.
