Why all so complicated ideas of solving this problem?

Why not make /changename change your name when you reconnect to the server (like in 0.2.1). People won't be arsed with restarting their game every time changing "roleplay" nicknames. ;)

I completely agree with the above posts except TL's and Aragorn's.

I like Aragorn's idea that if you forget your /changename, it's your fault, or maybe they have to ask an admin within 1 day of forgetting it so that admins don't have to trawl through many days of

I also like CM Daniel's idea, it will reduce the abuse of /changename if there is any...I've never seen any... :trust:

But please don't take it away, it will ruin so much RP.

I do not support this, my cop name is Dave_Vinewood, and everyone knows me as that...I am not saying it is a rule, but what if u want to be a cop and a gangster, people will metagame and say "oh you such and such". I totally Disagree with this.

and my own opinion, there will be alot of problems if you donot announce when the name wil be removed. Other servers have the possobility to change your name? Why not Argonath? Is it special in a way? Is it different? Can players Not just do /admins? This feature was introduced a long time back and it was sucessul, people had more fun, but now...this just seems stupid, people are being more and more constricted to something. Argonath is an official server, and this feature along with the no multiple account rule can make it unpopular. And on the SA:MP forum, didn't it say that people had the abillity to change their name to an RP character? Well if it did, that will have to be removed then. Also, that might have ben one of the main attractions of Argonath, the ability to play more than one RP character with more than one nick.


And don't give me any of you "Don't like it? Leave" shit, cos it doesn't work on me.

EDIT: Here's an idea, why not make the a /changechar command or something, which changed your name, but when you leave or crash, you don't ned to change it, it just defualts back to your original registered name....and alot of ppl with RP character with /changename, they usually change their name back to their registered nick before they leave anyway.

I think we should stay on the same nicks, coz when i am in game there is a mess with such changing and you dont know who is who, thats annoying.
I hope you will decide it faster.

How about an /alias command,much like MTA:VC to see what other alias names a player/admin has?

Yes Dave, there is such command, but since it got official we do have 100/100 players, and to do on everyone /alias, just imagine ;)
Also there can be one problem with not being able to change it: if a player has a long name, and after it he goes to any clan or groupe that requires tags, he will not be able to wear any tag, because there will be too many letters in the name..

  At first I disliked the /changename command, as it was very confusing with checking for multiple accounts and knowing who the players were.

  The other reason is that players could not learn to roleplay without changing names. I don't want to change my name, but I roleplay different characters with different skins (like old times). People found it difficult to accept this so I sometimes had to use /changename, which is a pain, and I respect my clan a lot.

  So, I support this a lot. It will help admins more, and hopefully open the eyes of other players that a different skin= different character.

I don't like the idea of Aragorn, and i think 80% of the players of argonath will be against it, since nearly everyone plays a different person sometimes. Like a cop or Criminal.  :neutral:

Yes Dave, that could be a solution, but if you come later you will not see that message.. so the problem will be the same again. And become all the messages what player changed to what name after you login since last time - that would be hell flood :)
