Darkfall is targetting as their future customers the "special" gamers; The L33T speaking H@rdCore PvPers 12 yo idiots. Darkfall players will be  the idiots who think its fun to perma camp some noob all day long and wonder why after 3 months their server is dead. Darkfall playerbase will be horrible.

With no curse filter(key feature claimed by Thasos), you will read spam and curse words all day long, i just cant wait !!

And, do you really want to group with Xx69HotBabe69XX and Leg0l@$_L33t, do you want to have em in your guild ? 

I am afraid for Darkfall, very afraid

Doesn't really matter until Darkfall actually releases. Until it does.. IF it does.. all features or promises of the game don't really matter. Now if Adventurine had a track record of releasing games or had something to give us some indication that this game is the goods, or their promises mean something, then maybe such features of such game would matter.

Nothing concrete. Then the details of such concrete could matter less.

However, I DO totally agree with you. I would hate playing any game where players could use symbols and numbers as part of their names. Seeing names like "Spiderman" in a fantasy realm is bad enough without seeing "$piderMaN4u-$suck3r". Heh.

You will be begging for WoW's naming system when (if) you seen the horrid names that are produced with numbers and symbols.

This is the way the Darkfall ends

Not with a beta but a whimper.

Classic example of the “I’m tacitly agreeing that this is undeniably something negative but as I’m dedicated to supporting this company no mater what they do I’m compelled to dismiss its importance, insult the person highlighting it as an issue and make excuses or justifications for it” Syndrome.

I agree.

I hate it when you meet someone with underscore etc etc in their name. It's a damn Character!!! Not a database!

Hated: EQII
Tried: EQI/II, EVE, DAoC, WoW, Shadowbane, DDO, CoX, Tabula Rasa

I agree with the OP. An MMO is not the place for names with characters other than letters. I don't know how to describe it, but it just makes the game feel cheap.

Hah I wish I had that kind of humor and creativity, :P. I found it on a random website, working in IT I like to look for comics like that, heh. Thought it was suiting.

There is nothing wrong with a game appealing to this demographic. Lord knows they've been screaming for a game to fit their playstyle for a very long time. Not everything has to be "sanitized" for mass consumption. This is coming from a person who will not be playing darkfall because it is not the type of game I would play.

Doesn't mean I can't support the existance of a game like this.

That should end this thread, but some will come up with some weird argument anyway. And weird name neon nametags didnt stop anyone in WoW. So thats another reason why this thread is pointless . )

So what if there's no nametags?  Try sending a whisper/tell to a name like that a few times.
