Account naming

PHP Code:

temp.pName = !( temp.pl.communityname)? temp.pl.account: temp.pl.communityname 


Just to avoided the annoyance, but as stated in that thread, offline accounts, well, there's no support. I worked around this awhile ago by making a DBNPC and putting account in an array, then whenever the player logged on, if their account was in their, then some function would run. I agree with the RC issues, usually communitynames are easier to remember than accounts.

I'm wondering if you even read the thread I linked to...
