Like I've said before, if there are really problems with community names that make administration harder then please let me know.

it's harder to pin point who people actually are when you can't indentify them by their account name. i used to have my playerlist display account names instead of nicknames, because the nickname could by anything - the account was the only hard name you could definitely give players to help know, for certain, that the person was who you thought they were. with graal#### accounts, it could be anyone behind that string of numbers, they could have a different community name the next day, and the accounts are not memorable because no one is going to take the time to memorize which numbers are their friends accounts. it also takes away from seeing those "legendary" account names, the people who obviously signed up for good account names back in the day, the ones people want to horde and keep for themselves. no one wants a buncha' graal#### accounts - you might even forget which account has what
not to mention they just suck compared having a lifetime classic account, not only in how long the account lasts, but also in the eyes of the community. people get made fun of for having graal#### accounts because it means they are newbies who started after lifetime's were taken away
