I am getting F***ing irretated....

[Ekg]

Why the F*** do they do one server when they know its gonna be crowded and crash?

I was really looking forward for pvp, shit i left school earlier so that i could get my names and start playing,

But did i get any of my namns NOO cause some german wankers took 'em , can i play pvp NOOO cause every god damn french inhabitant is play daoc, Why cant the germans and french have there own friggin server...

C mon goa or mychic ( dont know who ) a lot of ppl has whanted this server to go up and when its finally up ppl cant play on it,

the only fun thing in daoc nowdays was playing pvp and when you cant even do that.... why play the goddamn game ?

 

[old.chesnor]

bye then....

 

[SFXman]

One thing that pisses me off is that people take some "famous" people's nicks... you know, some person who is well known and they take it with a char just to piss them off.

 

[Arathor]

Ekg - no point making 2 serwers becouse when most ppls realize PvP server isnt for them, they left. And if we have 2 serwers after some weeks we will have 2 almost empty PvP serwers. This way its a chance to keep at least one server with nice amount ppls.
I am pissed becouse they could make higher cap to let more ppls get in. (or mayby i dont know they cant do it .... dunno).

 

[old.Raziel]

Well people keep complaining about names, but some one may have had the same name as u but on one of the german or french servers.

i sure raziel has/will be taken, and i know there was a raziel on Pry

still i guess if i really wanted the name i would be kind of annoyed, lucky for me i didn't want it for the PvP server

and i got the name i did want

 

[SFXman]

I already explained on the "make yourselves known" thread on the daoc general board that if there was a high-level "sfxman" on a french or german server I'd understand that it is taken on Camlann but since GOA don't even have a player name-based search in teh chronicles I can't do this.
Also, the name sfxman is a duplicate name on camlann yet even today after release being just this very day this "sfxman" can't be sent a message.
Even with "/send sfx test"

Problem is that people most likely make a L1 char with some "famous" char/nickname and they just leave it... I mean all have 12 slots so it's not a big deal.
If we don't have a name-based search we can't find out about this...........

SFXman is not in use on the german servers. At least, no person in a guild uses it.
Only found someone named SFX.

Name_txt.zip all >80000 'distinct' names currently in use on german servers

You want a complete EU-List?

Yes please!
I'd be grateful...

Wonder if it includes Camlann?
Nm if it doesn't...

I think the naming system might block "Sfxman" if "Sfx" is in use though...

 

[Stina Handfast]

here's for ya, sfx

 

[SFXman]

Thanks a lot mate.

I wish Camlann was added there...
On the european servers I see one L14 hero called "Sfx". So I doubt this is a main character...
If Camlann was added and I saw that there is a L1 "Sfx" or "Sfxman" after a few weeks well... eh... wonder what conclusion I could come to
Can't know yet without Camlann added there.

If the person who took your name on Camlann does not join a guild with this char, you will never know...

 

[Apathy]

Sheesh. It's just a name. You'd think someone had cut your dick off in the middle of the night or something.

Between this and the "SERVOR DOWN!"?!"??!??"?!"" posts, BW is a two topic horse tonight. ~rolls eyes~

But see, my point is that if someone takes you nick or char name (from a regular server you play on) on purpose only to annoy you, I'd classify this as griefing... nothing near to as mild as camping a bindstone for example. If this is done with pure vandalism in mind they can cause a huge fuss since not all get the message that it is not the real [enter char name], or they can simply keep the L1 char on their account...

 

[katani]

how do you know you didnt take their name they had played with before ? maybe on eq or something ? first come first served m8, not that i'd know since Camlann...FULL all night lol

Nope. Tried my lv 7 un-guilded Eld and he is not there. My main char is listed (along with 3 others going by this name )

Make a new one. Here's one - EsseffexMahn.

i myself thought it was fun how the server filled instantly with over 3k players, it was absolute and total chaos! i loved it!

 

[paracelsus]

A list of all 'distinct' names on Europe-Servers (those who are in a guild): Here

And here a list of all name collisions, eg:

Paracelsus Stonehenge 48
Paracelsus Avalon 7
Paracelsus Lyonesse 46

If your are not in this list, you may bitch about someone being either evil or a big fan of yours.
If you are in, tough luck - the other one got to Camlann first.


Note that both lists do not contain the last name of the chars - they are already >300k as it is.

 

[Treniel-]

C mon goa or mychic ( dont know who ) a lot of ppl has whanted this server to go up and when its finally up ppl cant play on it,

you not think people in France and Germany wanted to play it to? and let me point out GOA is a french company.

I was really looking forward for pvp, shit i left school earlier so that i could get my names and start playing,

OH

MY

GOD

SAD!

 

[old.chipper]

i bet within a week there will be no queing to get on pvp i already know some ppl who have said fuk it this is shit im not doin it and quit there will be MANY more so chill out just keep tryin to log on i know its an arse took me 90 mins to get on first time but u will get on eventually and tbh those ppl who are powelvling no names cough *nooby pride* cough well theyll just be logged in constantly for the next 2 weeks i would imagine as will a fair few others but lets be fair if you REALLY wanted to be on the server you would have skived school,booked holidays, developed a serious bout of diarrhoea, and been on the server the second it went live
you will get fed up of gettin ganked youll be scared to run around on ya own and youll want to quit
this is the hardcore server its not for everyone theres no shame in that im not even sure if ill last infact im guessin i wont from my experiences on US pvp

SOOOOOOOOOO before you start whinin about not been able to get on just look forward a week and try to imagine how pissed of youll be with pvp
then triple it

I already said that myself, that is is acceptable in that case. There are many threads on these forums about this very thing and I have said it a few times on some of them...
Anyway, I actually made up my nickname approx. 8 years ago.

it works off the guild xml so it can't see unguilded ones.

It might be sfx from the german server tried to login as sfx but, it being a common term, it was already taken - so they took sfxman.

That or some prick wants to piss you off...

You missplaced the comma...

"Then shut up, get a life and use another name.."

In fact your whole post is missplaced, but I can't do much about that sadly.

Don't mess with SFX.

Quote is misplaced.....HMMM no I don't think it is. This thread is yet another one full of poeple whining about having names stolen....Well since the names you have aren't original , copyrighted or personal property , then there is no stealing involved..and of the what ? 20k players who play euro server DAOC , do you actually think you're the only person who would possibly think up a name and if someone else HAS taken it , SO WHAT!!!! Its a game , and the character you see isn't really you.

OOH!!! and well done pixie you can spot bad grammar, have an apple

Nope, I have chars called Danyan and Danya on excal and pryd, names are only blocked if you use an identical name

 

[SFXman]

Hmm, interesting. I made up the name when I was around 10 years old, so approx. 8 years ago. Don't know where you picked that 5 year old thing from and if you are referring to my posts being childish I am pointing out that you totally miss my point.
