#6413, "RE: About names"


          

>What's up with that? There is nothing obscure about
>Molokai....

No offense to Hawaii, but I didn't know that. In fact, I could
probably gather the entire staff together and say "Molokai is.."
and none would mention Hawaii but several would say "Uh.. a..
variation on Malakai?" Ok, maybe one of them would. Or two.
But then they'd say "He's not actually named Hawaii, right?".

Obscurity is going to be defined by the people judging it, and
if we don't know it (like the Nordic thing, no idea), some of
them are going to slip through. We pick off a lot of these
through Google, though. We hit 10 renames to every pray about
a name. Easy. We're on the job, we just don't speak Norwegian
or live in Hawaii, among other things.

The one that kills me is the "letter off a character from seven
years ago". My memory for names goes back maybe a year unless
the guy was a real big deal to more than himself. If it has
been years, and none of the Immortals on have any idea
who you're talking about, it may not change. I'm just saying.
If anything help the guy Hero so the name doesn't get re-used
when he goes away. Or kill him off quick and do it yourself.

Also, don't complain to Heroimms about names, guys. They can't
do crap about it that praying yourself doesn't take care of,
and it distracts them from their actual duties.

We are renaming people. We are. We're just not hitting all
the names and near-misspellings of names that the combined
playerbase is going to pick up on.

Feel free to e-mail me directly if a name is really paining you.
