Galen, have you been administrating a lot of servers? Have you perhaps put your heart and soul into create a server for others to play, working over hundreds and hundreds and hours to just creat the server that people have been missing?
If you have, part of what I'm saying would made sense too you, so I'm just assuming form your response that you have not. If you seriously can't understand where I'm coming from, then there is no other way for me to explain.
Your solution would not work, not even the slightest. My last forum name, korupt, I had for about 4 years. I've NEVER EVER been called anything but maka, people barely call me Makaveli. ME changing name would bring no good at all, that was the first thing I thought of. I have no pride in my staff/mortal name, I always try to be a good guy on all my mortal characters (or the worst ass that I can be if I have some issues with someone - MORTAL), but it is nothing that I need to get acknowledgment for. I would have dropped the name in 10 secs if I would of thought that it would have made any difference. When was the last time you saw someone call "Coldrake" "Coldrake"? Krystal Myth is nothing like coldrake yet everyone call him that, even people that doesn't know him as KM. People pick up what other people do.
I'm actually somewhat insulted that someone else besides me think that me name changing instead of him would be a good idea. I've worked for this server, not cause I think it's fun to work, but cause I wanted to create a place where YOU and ME could have a place to enjoy ourselves. For what ever weird reason, I think that I'm entitled to at least a slight bit of respect, even if not much.
And your idea about posting staffs mortals on a shard where 200 people play, and more are coming, is just brilliant. Lets ruin the game play of 15 staff members so that Lord Makaveli can keep his name, where on every other server he would not have.
Now, I'll stop typing cause I'm really afraid that the "finger arthritis" might be sneaking up on me, another reason might also be that I do not think that you understand where I'm coming from, nor will you. I understand Lord Makaveli, and I'm more than sorry to have to enforce a necessity, but I will.
I'm locking this post now, Lord Makaveli, please stop reopening it. There is nothing new to add to the discussion, but Ice Cube has a great point. It is you old name, and due to the circumstances of the merge, it's also bad to rename you. If there is any compensation to rebuild your new name I do not know buy I will discus it with Taran and Coldrake. When I know, you will know.
