The system? Easy-peasy. Add a UUID to each character generated. It's in fact pretty much SOP for any data management scheme to have an identifier column that is not domain-dependent.

3 people given perma bans for repeat offense

15 accounts banned for RMT activity

That would let people know that yes, they are policing without violating anyones privacy.

Well, there was no Gladiator shoulder piece to be unlocked because it already existed in the game. However, it really didn't 'go' with the hi-rez pieces. So, Jlove or Keetsie re-did the shoulder to be hi-rez so it 'goes' with the other pieces.

However, players have used that shoulder piece for years, and now the hi-rez version sticks out like a sore thumb mixed with other legacy pieces.


And this is why we players need to put up a united front: Rather than lobby for our own personal pieces and peeves, we should all be asking for all costume pieces to be revamped so they all have the same set of textures (such as cloth, shiny cloth, worn metal, polished metal, reflective, matte leather, shiny leather, etc...) in the same resolution. That would do a hundred times more good for the costuming than any new free costume set.

Old arguments are old.

The mods made a decision. Deal.

No need for public violence these days. MMA schools are a dime a dozen, and most times are more than willing to let members duke it out. If that dosen't work, you can check several web pages (or PM me for a good one) where people regularly schedule travel time, and locations for perfectly legal "sparing" matches.

What I don't understand is the need to hide behind anonymity. Over the years I have had several occasions to disagree with other posters, and had no problems sending them PMs, or just openly disagreeing. Then again, my PMs tend to be somewhat reasonable. Why be shy? There are several people in this thread I disagree with, but at least they are in the open about being a jerk at times, so while I may dislike what they say, I still respect their willingness to say it in the open.

Now all I have to do is come up with some philosophical BS to put in his bio.

I really doubt the majority of people desperately want to use a dictionary, thesaurus, and foreign language translator when they create a new character. I really doubt that the majority of people are so happy with the name selection that they'd put up with a clumsy hyphen, period, intentional misspelling, foreign language usage, and less visually attractive system in exchange for the ability to have a good name.

You see, my experience is based upon talking to people both in game and in real life about this. I never assume, as you have, that the majority of our gaming community regularly posts on these forums (or reads them, for that matter). To assume that, as you have, would be very self-centered and bold... don't you agree? (you don't have to answer that, it's rhetorical).

[whew] That was exhausting. Back to my game. "Blowhard mode" off.

I'm against associating it with the term furry though.

Regardless of whether it's true or not, when your average person hears the word 'furry' or 'furries', the first thing that jumps into their heads is 'a bunch of pervs who like to dress up in mascot suits to have sex'. It has nothing to do with the furry community, and everything to do with people's perceptions of the furry community. If you don't believe me, do a google image search for the term 'furries'. Half the pictures that come up are either overtly sexual or jokes about furry sex.

And besides, I agree with whoever said it, that 'Call of the Wild' is a much cooler name for the pack.

I will throw this out there: I live by some simple rules. Treat others as they deserve to be treated. Stand up for yourself at all times. When you are constantly prepared for violence, you will find that you rarely are forced to experience it.

There are other rules I follow, but they aren't relevant to this discussion.
