Taking names from any piece of writing is really gay. Especially if you pick something that is popular right now. All the A Song of Ice and Fire names make me sick, almost as bad as the 14 Aragorn's we have roaming around.

The only person I consider a great name RP'er is Balien_de_Ibdelin in NA servers. He even made his own faction so he could have the banner. Uses nothing but what you see in kingdom of heaven.

Because people like an image but are shitty little munchkins with zero taste in fashion and metagame the hell out of the gear and builds and thus ruin aforementioned image.

There's enough knights in A Song of Ice and Fire books to still be obscure and not be overly used. 

I guess I didn't care or am not that creative enough to come up with a correct era-themed name.

Correct era-themed name doesn't matter, call yourself spongebob for ll I care :P
But it's when you call yourself "2nd Legion Cato" from Bernard Cornwalls (I think it was him) books and then use a katana. Etc etc

I agree completely. I myself naturally tend to go away from mainstream culture.


My personal favourite is still GOT names. I've seen like 5 Robbs in cRPG. I don't even count the jaime lanisters anymore.



Anyway I think I found a good balance with Kafein. It's short, easy to remember, to spell and to pronounce for most people I play with, and I have yet to find any website/service where it is used by someone else.

Post by: Ninja_Khorin on October 18, 2012, 11:14:49 pm
I've never been much for naming things, apart from my usual internet name which doesn't fit the era. So I just made up a name that sounded good enough, which is how Khorin was born. It wasn't consciously similar to Qhorin, though I had read the ASoIaF books way back in 2009.

Other than that, most of my names are Khorin derivatives and/or names from fictional works, because I can't be bothered with names that much.

Ninja_Qhorin and Ninja_Quorin (same guy, but people use different spellings) is blatantly ripped from A Song of Ice and Fire. But I rarely use these two.
Corin is ripped from the new Conan movie where Conan's dad is named Corin. He's a barbarian two hander with some small riding skill, because Conan can ride a bloody horse.
Chorin is a derivative of Charin which was a minor character in Startgate Atlantis.
Thorin is obviously from the Hobbit.
Ghorin was an arabian alt based on Ghorid's.
Borin was created when I was bored.

Reason why I do Khorin derivatives is because people can easily recognize me when I use them. I'm pretty fortunate to have so many names given to me though :)
Keyoke and Lujan are blatantly ripped from books simply because they sound japanese.

However my normal internet name is quite unique based on google, but that one I will not disclose :P

Over a year ago I made Arys, i've read the books since they came out so im not some dirty Game of Thrones newb fan. Originally, my character Arys looked like SosarianKnight with a 1h and shield. After a few weeks I got bored of it and didn't want to change my name. I used the name Arys Oakheart, because I thought it was an awesome name for a knight. I guess I should just go back to MrShatteringSexBludgeon since it would appease the "originality" you all want.

You must be kidding ME! 3/4 of those I know reading the books, love Arya, including myself. She's not a second character for us! Even by her story she seems to be a prefered character by the author himself, same goes for Cersei and Danareys (or Bran).

Second characters are:
King Robert, Tommen, Joffrey
the tullys (except for Cat)
the Freys (mostly)
Robb Stark
as examples :P

Problem with popular names is that you have to change them in every new game you're playing so you really have no identity at all.

Most of those players, when they were young kids started with idiotic combinations of letters and numbers (x being the most popular, probably because of word extreme and porn industry). For example, xXx-=-FuCK3R-=0XxX. Strangely, Y0urM0m isn't that popular in online games these days.

After some time they start reading popular books and watching popular TV shows, so they change their names to something less idiotic like RobbStark123, HaimeLanistar, JohnSn0Ww, NedSt4rk etc.

Haven't seen Heisenberg yet, probably cRPG spergkids don't watch that show.

My nick is usually available and pretty unique, unless some twat that remembers me from some of the previous games I've played, decided to register account under that name.

Of course, there's no way in hell I can register email with this name... any short combination of letters that doesn't sound completely retarded is already taken.

Conclusion: there is way too many people breathing air nowadays. Looking forward to 12/21 :wink:

Anyways, I don't care much about book characters (sry, I don't read many books), but when I see ppl running around  with names like Glenn beck, Tom cruise, chef Ramsey, Or the TMNT characters, I laugh my ass off

Chef Ramsey running around with only a cleaver, apron, and woolen hoes was particularly funny.

Also getting a group together with the Mario names. Mario and Luigi with mallets and color appropriate chain mail.

All Pretty funny.

Basically you could call him the rival/villain of the Legendary 'El Cid' a.ka Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar.

Shogunate in a nutshell. Names themselves Shogunate then using european armor and weapons.
If you're talking about the old Shogunate - go to hell.

We've brought samurai armor retextures twice (first one made by one of our guys, Shagrath, redoing the vanilla pink armor), constantly lobbied for weeaboo stuff getting buffed and new weapons getting added , made new textures of swords (which didn't get in as usual of course) and won a good deal of clan battles and tournaments without using shields.
Not to mention the inner clan system of subclans and promotions that was highly inspired by the clan's theme.


In the end people started to grow tired (and i grew tired of restricting people too) and wanted to use a wider variety of weapons and armors, hence the theme change.

Pity it have no eng subtitles but mayby it's awesomeness will struck you no matter what

Here you have epic chat moment where Dracula talks with KingBread about his gold stolen by einstein and locked in Bunker somewhere in Poland.

KingBread said that Gold have no value in his world instead they value youthness and oldness and becouse of that everybody is middle aged.

Best dialogue ever!

What that guy up there said.

This may not refer to the topic, but "Dildo_Gaggins" is by far the best name I´ve ever seen in crpg yet. Laughed so hard until my belly started to hurt :(
Goddamn I love this name.

Then wouldn't it be better to rename the clan, or make alts once your members started going away from weaboo style? Instead of waiting a loooong time before you quit the whole weaboo thing and became Byz.

My name is NOT from Metro 2033 (I don't even own the fucking game).

It's great when someone tries to tell you your name is spelled incorrectly like every name has a specific pre-assigned spelling by some mystical name-granting power.  "bundle of sticks you can't even spell your name right it's Артём (Artyom) you homosex buttdick"

Let's add more Eastern European gear so my clan can actually look like they're Wallachian.
