Whats the point of the new Graal###### accounts?
Why can't you choose your own account name anymore?

Is it like we'll run away from Graal and you'll be able to track us down?!
IDK TELL ME.

Instead of accounts being taken, now it's community names. Same damn thing. Doesn't solve anything.

But in order to get a community name, a person has to have upgraded at least once, so odds are whoever took the name you wanted is either an active player, or at least was at some point.

I've noticed that the last time threads have titles like: "why"; "question" etc.Please use a proper title for your threads, so we have a hint what's your topic.

So yeah.

This thing has also been discussed a thousand times already, use the search function once in a while please.

There are several reasons, one that stands out to me is to give incentive for people to upgrade (choosing their own community name, etc).

There are many Gold members with the Graal#####, at least their Tag.

I find this extremly annoying... for managing accounts. like at Era News, I look at the memberlist and see like 3 Graal######, I have no idea who they are -.-.

Maybe send a big box telling the Gold members to change their name each time the log in? (if they havent changed it already) because atm its only at the login, in a very small place.

Time for a new whats the point:

Whats the point of classics subscriptions having trial mode on UC servers? Most wont upgrade just to develop a server and these UC servers need veteran developers of whom are classic. Sounds like they are trying to make a buck at the expense of development.

The Graal###### is dumb why not just limit the account name of trials to a certain amount of characters or if a gold member decides they want the name the trial would lose it? Since this would be easier for ET's to ban/lock/kick (Zone commands) rather then needing to check the numbers

Wouldn't make much of a difference for a ET but I find the numbers stupid.

I don't think I've ever seen this system on any successful game ever, go figure.

Don't blame the new system for that, blame the scripters of those servers for not using player.communityname instead of player.account.

Then look at the amount of people that lose the incentive to upgrade because of this ****ty account system.

Besides, what's the difference between choosing an account name and choosing a community name? Nothing.

Doesn't matter. You will always be labeled as just another Graal###### account.

Not if servers learn not to present the account name to public.
