Server is undecided. We are thinking of it being the server at the top of the list, but there is a "Hostile" server that sounds tempting...
We want to also set up accounts on the other servers, though, but we can't use the same name, so here's the idea I had. If we register these names quick enough, there shouldn't be a problem, but I was thinking of having a unified system so that we could easily identify each other in other servers and stay uniformed.
Our main server will have your preferred name. Mine would be "Tbone". But what about the next server in the list? Well, I was thinking what about "xTbonex" or something similar. Then it was just continue. Say there are 5 servers. Well, then here are my 5 names:
Tbone
xTbonex
xxTbonexx
xxxTbonexxx
xxxxTbonexxxx
The "x"'s are just an example, but I'm open to other suggestions. We just have to decide by tomorrow! With this method, we could also easily identify if someone is on a different server. What do ya think?
-
I like the idea, but have always disliked the XX's in names. Plus, those of us who have longer names like mine, the X's will take up alot of space, how many characters are we allowed in a Screen Name ?
-
Don't matter how we do it in the end I guess. When we were jumping from alg, to parser, then to subroutine I just changed a letter in my name... Tivod - Tibod - Ticod, umm maybe not such a great idea.
-
Well, if you had a long name, you could initial it just so that we can still figure out who you are. So yours would be...
Dataphenom
xDPx or xDatax
xxDPxx
etc.
And if not "x", then what?
0Tbone0
00Tbone00
1Tbone1
11Tbone11
?
-
Hahaha Ristan, Sisten, Fisten....... errr......
I don't mind the 'x' scheme but that kinda screws xGabrielx over :P
Actually I will be creating a female (Always have one guy and one girl on any MMO that allows more than one char per account) on another server that will revive the Iris name.... dunno which server that will be though.
-
ParsFuse or FusePars
XORFuse or FuseXOR
SubFuse or FuseSub
WhateverServerFuse or FuseWhateverServer
or
Fuse
Fuse2
Fuse3
Fuse4
Fuse5
-
I agree with fuse's idea
-
I like fuse's ideas.
Or how about binary?
subtek
subtek00000001
subtek00000010
subtek00000011
subtek00000100
-
that is actualy what i did put the server name in my name when beta was still going on i had QAkhr0n1k and khr0n1kpar and then on algo i just had khr0n1k
also if we do use x's then we need to list how many go to each server because who know maybe XOR will be on top of the list in live so we need to list it out like
x=parsar
xx=subroutine
xxx=bollean(sp)
xxxx=XOR
xxxxx=what ever the other server is i cant reamember
edit:wait there isnt another server....
-
I think the numbers after the name are the best way to go.
As for the names I'm using: I'm going to try to jack in exactly at 12:00 to see if they've cleared the database of old names. If they have, I'm registering as "Midnight", but if they haven't cleared it then I'm going to be "MidnightMeadows" as always... =\
I think MidnightMeadows is the maximum character limit for an name, so I'd probably just be:
Midnight2
Midnight3
Midnight4
Midnight5
on the other 4 servers.
-
Insteand of a 8 bit binary why not just Hex of the first letter of the server name?
-
I don't like the numbers or the server name ideas. The "x"'s seem a lot less...intrusive. The idea is to make it look like decoration for the real name, not a name like "Tbone3984". We're the ORIGINALS. I'm not gonna play as a Tbone3 wannabe.
-
Wow, those sneaky devs. Switched the damn server names on us at the last second. Here are the new names:
Method
Regression
Proxy
Iterator
Linenoise
Enumerator - Hostile
"Hostile you say?" Why that sounds interesting to me. Of course not everyone is going to agree. Later we'll find out more about the "hostile" server. At least they are giving us something to naw on while we wait:P woot
-
i agree i dont like the numbers
-
My feeling is that the hostile server is going to be open PVP everywhere, all the time.
That way, all the griefing jerks can amass there and PK to their sick little hearts' content.
-
i doubt it because it doesnt work story wise and nobody would play on it because if you dont get there at the very beggining because everyone will own you and camp the n00b hardlines you pop out at after the tutorial
-
Agreed, opvp servers are always more fun and interesting, but it is almost guarenteed that 90% of the griefers will be on that server (where the others are on the 'RP server')
I wouldn't mind personally going to the hostile server, but thats only my say...
-
um i already have x in my name....
-
i think it should be required to join up in the faction on every server. not right away, obviously, since it will take the captains a considerable amount of time to get their rep points up on each server to create their ships and the faction. but i think in time, it should be mandatory to join the faction under each server. makes it harder for anyone who thinks they can be with us on one server, with another faction on another server. we don't have this problem right now, but in the future we might. just a thought for the future. :)
-
Ahh.... the true meaning of the Hostility behind the server name:
http://thematrixonline.warnerbros.com/web/live/news_display.jsp?id=031805_hostility
Looks like it will NOT be opvp after all.........
-
that has nothing to do with the servers, dude .....
-
nevermind

I'll probably only have one character on one server, however if I need some on others my variations are typically.
Fallout2man842
Fallout2man248
Fallout2man284
etc.

*Bonks head*
DOH!!
Looked again and mistook hostile with hostility.... ah what can I say I pulled an all nighter and am vewy vewy tired...

-
wtf that is not what the hostile server is that is only music they are adding to the game tisk tisk
-
In other games, we always did the following:
main server: MasterYoda
(for example Parser) Parser Server: ParserMasterYoda
Boolean Server: BooleanMasterYoda
etc...etc...etc... that way, they know who we are....and chances are, noone will pick that name....
another thing we did was change our name slightly: ImperialMasterYoda
SovereignMasterYoda, and NCMasterYoda **(bonus points if you can figure out which game this latter part is from)***
just a suggestion...what do you think?

"Hostile" Worlds
At launch, Enumerator will be designated as a Hostile world. This means, if the Truce breaks down again, Enumerator will be an even more dangerous place than the "non-hostile" worlds--which will be none too safe themselves.
When tensions run high in the Matrix, members of the various Organizations (Zion, Machine, and Merovingian) will naturally want to strike out against those they deem responsible. Hostile worlds, such as Enumerator, will be strongly affected by events as they occur. On these worlds, no one at level 16 or above will be able to remain outside the conflict. Even those at lower levels can choose to enter into the fray.
We will post more information on Organization versus Organization combat in The Matrix Online as the storyline calls for it.

****Sounds good to me*****

I think the server names in front (or behind) our names are kinda silly. I like prefer the idea of using x's or any other symbols allowed. Are they allowing strictly letters and number and absolutely no symbols?
-
After taking a look, I'd strongly reccomend going to a hostile server if possible, and getting some other factions to follow us so that we can have some cool organization vs organization moments like near the end of beta.
-
The first letter of the server name in HEX value after our name.
-
As long as my main game name is Evan ill be happy.....other servers dont matter since I wont be playing on them much at all.
-
looks like we are going to enumerator or how ever you spell it
-
No one came up with a better idea, so "x"'s it is.
Also, Enumerator is our server.
-
GDI, Mine is a better idea.
-
ok well we will have to make a list how many x's are for each server so we wont get confused
-
Good server choice T......:)
-
im cool with that, but please do not change it around after launch. Leaves to much confussion.
-
so um... what do i do? will i always have more x's? lol
-
Well the server sounds good but the whole name thing is still a little weird for me and Gabe, especially Gabe, since our names already start with X's and Gabe's also ends with an X.
-
I actually went and read Walrus' explination about the hostile server after the TS meeting and have a different idea how it is going to operate. It seems as though you can PvP any time if you want to up to level 16, but once you hit 16, it sounds like it's an open free for all...no more having to type /pvp. I'm probably wrong, but the way it's worded in Walrus' post, that's the way I'm thinking. I'm probably just going to need a couple to guard my butt till I get used to playing in open PvP heh. Me = easy target :D
-
LoL, Benevolence, I am right there with you, maybe us Easy targets can run around together! :)
-
Yea benevolence, I've never pvp'ed before on any game! Im not a fighter...
-
yayay!
-
I think the best plan is to go with the server name, then character name.. it seems the most effiecent and least complicated.
