I couldn't use my real name even if I wanted to, names are limited to 19 letters, including spaces.

Nothing like giving away sensitive information over the internet to only have it backfire on you.

Crazyvietguy · Feb 02, 2007, 12:31 AM // 00:31

I tend to try to stay away from my real name (its michael.. its really common). I have a name I carry through all my games: Deameon Aluisus, Then if i can add characters.. i usually include something about the profession in it.

Nkah Sennyt · Feb 02, 2007, 12:54 AM // 00:54

I use one of my names, Maxxyne, on my PvP characters sometimes [with spaces between the letters 'cause I'm cool like that]. I think Nkah would be a cool name, though.

If only my real name was Ace Romeo...

xxSilhouette · Feb 02, 2007, 03:41 AM // 03:41

Yep

My necro whom was my first character has the name Megan

I wanted the first to be named after me

Solvi · Feb 02, 2007, 04:19 AM // 04:19

No...I don't use my real name either. Solvi was the second toon i made in SWG and Elo is the last name of the first toon i made so i combined them to make Solvi Elo. And from there My wife and I both use Elo for all our toons last name with all the first names staring with s....I dont know why..jkust habit I guess.

But what I dont understand is why people dont use there first and last name because of security reasons....whats someone gonna do with "just" your name. If "just" a name had that much power you would think the phone book would be pretty powerful....I mean that has your name and phone number and in some cases your address. Or checks for that matter...name, phone number, maybe address and drivers license number. I dont think just your name in guild wars is gonna make a differnce. Especially if it is just your last initial or whatever.

Samuel Dravis · Feb 02, 2007, 04:27 AM // 04:27

I have never used my real name on anything except things I absolutely have to.

Coloneh · Feb 02, 2007, 04:28 AM // 04:28

I dont use my real name, nvever liked it. Luke? boring. I never went by my real name in highschool either, i always had one nickname or another. Coloneh is much more interesting.

I know a few ppl who do use the real name in and even their last name.

Iuris · Feb 02, 2007, 09:14 AM // 09:14

Well, I'm extreme in this aspect. All of my 5 characters bear my real name

Really.

jimmy_logic · Feb 02, 2007, 10:28 AM // 10:28

All I know since playing GW the people that I've met in RL call me by my IGN. Weird my real life name is pretty unique and weird. Maybe my IGN is normal

Makkert · Feb 02, 2007, 10:32 AM // 10:32

my nickname serves to protect me from weirdo's all around the internet.

Snograt · Feb 02, 2007, 06:07 PM // 18:07

I seem to recall a mod on this very forum who uses his own name for his chars. At least for his Assassin, as I recall...

shane william · Feb 02, 2007, 07:02 PM // 19:02

usually ill make something stupid up for pvp characters, but my main char is kinda half my real name, but people always seem to think i just used my whole real name. never really payed attention to this until recently the pve dudes keep ripping on me for it lol

Skawtt · Feb 02, 2007, 07:47 PM // 19:47

My main is named Skawtt pronounced Scott.

Ouchie · Feb 02, 2007, 07:50 PM // 19:50

Hummm ..... No

I try to use names people remember

Askmea Question -my Sin
Ouchie WaWa - my monk
Ouchie Wawas - my ranger

I have been sticking to my Ouchie theme lately

Pet names I like to be creative with

Savemia Bite - Ranger's
Pet-Peeves - Warrior's
Bandaid - Monk's (he doesn't get a lot of play time)
etc....
