Character-selected titles! (or prefixes)

I clearly feel the urge to demonstrate that I spent too much time on telnet talkers in college. Discussing titles as a part of the character class topic made me yearn for the days when I could specify my own title, and thus create a little more player identity in an extremely simple way.

Sincerely,
Meer the Moot

  • Hey Meer, I've used "moot" for over 20 years, could we maybe share it?

  • i've a feeling that people will want to add suffixes and prefixes to their names for all sorts of reasons. announcing group affiliation and occupation and so on.

    were you thinking people would just edit their name, or would this be added from meta-data outside the name?

  • Yes, all sorts of reasons. In practice it was used more as what we'd call a status message nowadays ;), but incorporates some of your "profile" without someone having to go to your profile to learn more about you.

  • so a 140 character summation of your profile description that could appear in game on hover of your avatar?

    that sound useful, and similar to tingly's suggestion in the character class topic.

    speaking of which... where are the profile descriptions? it seems we will be profiledescriptionless for the near future.

    was looking forward to a creative writing assingment too.
