Implementation of a "tag" system
 
As someone who played old servers on PC a lot, I really enjoyed the fact that I had an account name and so did everyone else- it made players easily identifiable and I didn't have to memorize anyones stats to figure out who they are. I know that the "account name" thing is old news on iclassic, but it would still be nice to have a way to identify everyone even when their name/outfit/guild changes. It's one of the most frustrating things to me as someone who came from a server of ~60 people tops and knew everyone. Now I'm on a server of ~3,000 and it's near impossible to actually know who is who without memorizing spar w-l or kills stats.

I'm sure many old players will agree with me when I say there should be a way to "tag" someone (like on reddit) that follows them around on their profile so you know who they are.

Happy graaling

I started on iClassic where there has never been a system like this. However, I picked up UN and got into it as of a year ago (ish) and I like the concept of the account name. It does help to identify people as well as weed out people who are impersonating others, namely older PC players, which I see a lot of.

Is this the same thing as nicknames on Skype?

David 06-02-2015 01:31 AM

Almost.

Instead of displaying the "nickname" you gave to the player, it shows what they named themselves and inside their profile it shows you what nickname you gave them (I personally like that way more) but either works.

Yea, I am not from Pc graal. But the fact that there are more than 3k active users, possibly 10k monthly users. it's impossible to remember u by stats and guild tag. it sucks when people constantly change their name to unknown, join another guild and expecting me to remember them.

I support it because then I can used the tag system to note down why I have blocked certain players

I support not only the tag system but this blocking idea aswell, I always end up unblocking players due to not really remembering the reason I did it in the first place.

Also would it cost gralats to change the nickname you gave for yourself or like UN, real money? Theres also the perks that came with the names such as certain mini games, events, buildings, hats, and some fun items like tangibility, will those be involved?

I liek it how it is.


I play several names, yet people still know wutF I am.

If I don't recognize someone it really doesn't matter cause I could meet them again or dgaf.
Multiple names is unique approach and I think it should continue. If it doesn't I'm getting rufus.

I hate you David for bringing this up cause everyone's gonna agree with this and it might get changed.

Also an option to let some friends see you're tag/real name? or original name for example I change my name to Pacman I can leave a tag for my friends to know what my normal name is. so when they look at their friends list it ses "Pacman [ReD N]"

On UN the nicknames or account name would be needed for certain mini games and other certain things. I basically named the best of all I can remember but I could have made no sense but I guess their suggestions at this point

no. They are not needed.

This is a nickname system like for example

nicknamed too

I guess there's a little confusion, so here's what I'm thinking in my head this would look like:

You click on someones profile < more actions < an option called "add tag" or "add nickname" < you type in their name or how you want to know them

It appears next to their name or marital status as "_____" in their profile

Pretty simple. No events, no side quests, no complications. Just a simple way to keep a tab on someone you might forget in the future.
