Ok I have been thinking about this for a while now

For those ppl that would rather not display their full avatar name in-game I have a potential solution

Certain members would rather not display their full avatar name for various reasons maybe it's too long or maybe not the name they intended which can happen when you first start playing the game or maybe it is just a bad or offensive name that was done for a bit of a laugh so I recommend this approach, instead of displaying the full name in-game just display it in the forum. after all we all want every member of the soc to sign up to the forum as it is the best way to pass on information.

Now I know that you are saying well how can I do that consistently well here is a way

As you may have noticed for the past few weeks my full avatar name has been displayed just below my Forum Display name like this



And I did it this way

Select your profile info and go to the Forum Profile Information section



In there just below all the MSN, Yahoo, contact info etc and just above the Signature section there is a field called Custom Title



Enter your full avatar name in there and it will be displayed just below your forum display name,  aha as pointed out by Melein (thanks Melly ) some of you may not have a custom title field in which case I would suggest using the Personal Text field just above all your MSN, Yahoo etc contact information in which case your Full Avatar Name will appear just below your Avatar pic if you have one so that would be here



and the result would be this



So please let me know what you think

I like this solution to the FULL avatar name thing.....maybe we can find something else to chat about in soc chat in game now

I wanted to have Cool_Fire as my name to signify "cool under fire" since this seemed to be more of a PVP game when I was reading about it before opening an account....Having played the game HALO online some bit before this game....being cool under fire is the key to survival. But MA does not allow the use of the underscore in the name selection text

I do handyman work and that led to the Harmless Handyman name, however it is not clear how your name will be displayed while you are making the name so I wound up with 'Harmless Cool Fire Handyman'. I do not care for that name so I go by Cool Fire in game and now it looks like I might not get booted from this wonderful society just because I don't like using my full name

Thanks JJ
