They can already pick a community name.

i think their community name should show when you hover over there name, on the playerlist, instead of account name.... that would solve a lot of problems.

still keep the origional account in the profile.

Why even have account names and community names? There doesn't seem to be any advantages to this.

It's already displaying the community name on mouse over on the playerlist and in the profiles since the new update. I think thats fine.

It's simple. Scripts, and the gserver, can internally identify players with the account (Graal000000) name, which means that a new player can create an account and start playing straight away. They can then later pick a community name to display to other players, but since the actual account name hasn't changed, then the scripting on each server still recognises it as the same player (for example, DB_Bank.("account_" @ player.account) or similar).

It's designed to let players start playing straight away, without breaking things later when they have eventually decided upon an identity. I'm fairly sure that's an advantage.

yes i see... but does there community name show up in there profile? I think there origional account name should show up in the profile. If not then that would make scamming easier... just keep changing your community name to confuse people.

If Graal###### were used only for trials, no saving should be going on, so scripts shouldn't get messed up.

problem with this system : nondev jobs without RC such as GP/ET cannot summon accounts with a community name because you cannot see their true account.

Except that the new trial system (guests) allows for saving.

Scripts can also use findplayerbycommunityname(). If you know of servers that have scripts which don't work well with community name then tell us so that me or the GST can eventually help fixing them.

Either way, it was a lot more simple before. I've had friends sign up for the first time, it took them over an hour just to figure all of that out. It would be best if you could choose your own password...

Just poke Ibonic or Stefan for that one . I agree with the new accounts system for one thing: good names won't be stolen by non-paying peeps.
