The community names act in the same way as our accounts did, but the data is being saved on your Graal# key rather than your account name. The only thing wrong with the community name system is that it is being advertised as a "community name" which is unnecessary wording for an account name, and a lot of features have still not been modified to cater for the system itself. If the mask was displayed over the Graal# 'real' account, there would be no negative difference over what we had before, only positives.

I wouldn't have as much of a problem with it if there was better support for server staff for this system. It seems like it was kind of just thrown at us without considering the problems it would cause on RC and in scripts. It does have its plus sides, but unfortunately right now I think the cons outweigh the pros.
