I agree. I look at my player list with account name. Not names.

It is a tad bit annoying having a graalxxxxxx pm me and saying, "Hey u rember me, yes!!?!".

To that end, it would be cool if we could put our own nicknames on players so we could switch between Account, nickname and personal nickname. Could also show all three when hovering over the player list entry.

Example:
Account: Gerami
Nickname: Crono (Pluffy Gang)
Personal Nickname: Crownoh

!!

I was wondering why this was ever even implemented. Seems only to have caused pain to people :(

This and observer mode ... and the non-universal v5 client for mac ... my only problems with v5

Account name: Adding numbers or letters to the end of them arent THAT hard.
Confirm email: takes no more than a minute
Graal Client: takes like a minute to download.
Password: What about letting us choose our OWN passwords? it takes like a week to memorize it.

What a "Hard" procedure...

Agree, though I do like the idea of the browser- it actually is nice. It's not practical for actual use, but as far as simply trying the game, I like it.

I don't see why you can't play with a pc:66666 account, and then once you decide to register, choose your own.

Oh well, atleast 50 years from now if I'm still alive, and Graal is still alive (YAH RIGHT *cough*), then I can come on and I'll be one of the very few with actual account names.

Of course, in 50 years unix and Stefan will both be dead :(

not if they eat that bread unixmad buys every day)

because people would put easy passwords and would get hacked a lot.

Takes a week to remember it, I have had this account almost a year and I cant remember the password yet...

Maybe if players lock their account by PC they can be allowed to?
I've had my account cbk1994 on the same password for ... let me check ... since 2004 ... 4 years. I have no clue what it is.

all I know is the first two letters, and that's cuz i looked it up when sending and app for a guild

I agree. i like how you can pick your account name not have graal6475634564 or whatever....

Way to revive a four month old thread :rolleyes:

Well, true, but I still don't like the change, since it makes lots of things harder when scripting, too.

player.account > player.communityname

• new player attribute player.communityname which displays the name the player is using for the forums etc.
  
  • by default players have now an account name which is basicly just a number (Graal12345) and can later register a communityname which is then used for the fourms, wiki etc.
  • on the playerlist and PMs it will display the community name instead of the account name, scripts are supposed to do the same

I haven't done much testing but I'm assuming it's safe to just use community name where you would previously just use account.

Unless of course, those with old account names but never had any access to the forum and thus have never registered a community name, makes the community name return null?

If the same goes with new accounts who have not yet registered a community name (which of course does suck) but a simple fix would be to fall back to the account name or even the nickname of the player to assertain identity.

However, nicknames are not as secure as the previous two options.

I'll do some testing later today and post my findings in the scripting forum if you like Crow?
