If someone wants to piss me off, they can just log in first minute, create a character named Seluhir, and never play it. Say I'm well known for using the name 'Seluhir'. not to mention the opportunity for trolling. With the number of people who are likely to be playing this game, and the number of characters. unique names are a BAD idea in this case. Here we have RealID and then 5+ character names which can all be the same.īidmal. In SC2 you just had your RealID and then account name. However, I don't really know what to think of the current system. and the fact that your 'wanted' name will be gone in 1 hour of release). I think the community as a whole would not go back to that (based on the long thread on the blizz forums. In Diablo 2 you had your Bnet account and your character names which were BOTH individually unique to your region. From what I see here, people are just choosing the same name for their heroes (freak chance? or common?. This isn't feedback about the AH (though those 2 examples are related to it).

It would be great if we had some indication on the class of character in that list.'Īround 10s in, he chooses his character and you see 5 of the same names. This makes it easy for people to identify me when I join their game, but it does not make it easy for me to choose which character to browse for gear on. Regarding the AH: 'I have 8 characters named SpinDrJr. and I wasn't going to make this thread until I saw 2 things today: I know there was a post by Bashiok that they are still looking into the best possible direction. What are your guys' thoughts on the naming system being like Starcraft 2's? (ie you can make as many of the same name as you want and it'll have a hidden number attached to it).
