Oh I see, thanks.

Will definitely use the space, didn't cross my mind to try that as most games don't allow that so thanks heaps.

Thanks for all the replies, it's the fact I want the name of my old character seen as I will never get to use him again and it's the name I play games with whether people see it or not.

I was hoping that I could have the option to inherit the name or set my name to my old character's name.

You do not as loftar is lazy however you can name it "Fury " (Notice the space), instead of "Fury".

Other popular alternative's are "Fury II" "Fury's Son" " Fury" "Woohooo I'm Fury!" "Fury the Second" and of course "Fury is a cool dude".

Closest you're getting though is the space after, it's quite common.

Problem here is that loftar seems to always refer to characters by name, so even after dead it is referred to by name which is unique, instead of some ID or something, so you can't reuse the name or it would reference two different 'characters' to the same name. (My understand of his explanation a long time ago anyhow)



Ive seen another route with ancestor names taken too. I currently have a friend named "fuckthisfuckinggame" due to a death to a boar =p.

I actually kind of like not being able to keep names after death.
If you die, you die, and you are gone, and in the medieval times, unlike it is now, you couldn't find hundreds of thousands of people with the same name.
So, as I said before, if you're dead, then you are dead, no bringing him back, but you can make his or her asexually created (probably spores left at the hearth fire or something) son or daughter :)
