Pseudonym in duel server as well

[Dalfador]

So we have pseudonym's for strategus battles, but how about a pseudonym for the entire duel server as well?

I'll list some pros and cons, along with some scenarios where they would be useful or detrimental.

Pros:
+ You lie about not being around for a battle because you want to sign up for the other side. Without this, you wouldn't be able to play in any server without a nosy person spotting you.
+ You have the ability to be completely anonymous for those heated duels, where let's face it, slurs and anger are abundant (whether meant to hurt or not).

Cons:
- Someone could repeatedly join the server under new pseudonyms, and farm the points from ranked duels from unsuspecting players expecting a totally new fight.
- Pseudonyms could be offensive, let's face it: we have seen some offensive pseudonyms, but the punishment is less severe to none, because they are only temporary.

Thoughts?

No? Just play.

To me it makes sense, log into duel server before strat battle - obvs you're there for battle - get announced and listed by real name. Defeats purpose of psedonyms a bit.

thats not a cons

Most players on top of duel ladder choose their ranked duels so they wont lose any points.
Some even disconnect when duel is almost lost.

All duels should be ranked btw

That's rubbish. Some people really care a lot about their duel points yet still want to duel casually occasionally (if not most of the time). If there were no training duels many people including me would be unable to duel for fun with tryhards, because the tryhards would be doing tryhard things 24/7.

Yes, you are right. It is strange that duel does not allow pseudonyms, but you *suddenly* change name as soon as the Strategus battle starts. Very suspicious indeed!
