i can't wait for my new av name instead of Gemmett57Resident(dispite my display name that hasn't changed since i joined everyone still calls me gem if thet even consider talking to a lowly Resident) I will make my next name G3MM3TT-,,-".5653"6733F74377 Resident, oh and good luck trying to get that correct in a sscript so I can unlock a door. Unless you want to use the UUID of my av which reads like a nintendo password 85eacc3a-5fed-483b-ac09-c5fc0c13fcfd. Hech maybe I should use that as my username. Rodvik invented a new level of fail yesterday, I mean Epic Fail doesn't come close to discribbing it.
I can understan not letting people write in last names for certain purposes (I.E. people making names like Al Gore, or Willhelm Shatn3r) to protect rights, but seriously I would raher have a first and last name (even if chosen off a list) without having to bastardize it with random nubers, special characters, rocks from the moon. not to mention if somone has a name I want like "Bob" and there 10 last names theres a decent chance I can make a combination which will reflect my desires for my chosen first name. as it is i couldn't get my first 4 names even by adding 3 numbers at the end and **bleep**ing up the spelling so i had to resort not to even a second name but a 3rdname and add 2 numbers still! All because everyone new has to share Resident.
The truth is most people prefer multiple choice to no choice and free choice over all. I think someone said it best earlier.
"hey guys we want to bring custom titles in and lastnames back!!"
"we don't want titles...we just want lastnames back in some form"
"OMG its too polorizing you get special charicters like - in your first name now thats it.....actually maybe thats too good for you. Enjoy your Resident tag NOOB"
"I will leave this open a bit and then close it and we can talk about something else, an I will pretend I made everyone happy"
Seriously, even if 50% wanted a list of last names and 50% wanted custom, make one or the other thats atleast 50% happy and probally 45% will comprimise, and at least get a last name. By just coming out and saying"Durrrr....no" you make 99% mad, dissatisfied, fed up ect ect and 1% say "hey they did something" and that 1% probally has older accounts with last names so are more or less like "hey I got mine"
