I agree with nanook.
But I find it annoying. I'm not sure why. I'm so used to just seeing the big bold "Collide" and not "Collide" with little letters underneath. It's just...too much?
what if names were switched? nickname could be (here) and chat name above? wouldnt that make a little more sense

it could even be a title? not just a nickname? example:

Shanzi
(The Hyena) <- title

or

Shanzi
(Twis) <- nickname
Not a bad idea

@Shanzi;
I meant it that way. I wasn't aware that the (text) was the original username.
Oops.

I love how the problems with this (a fun feature that isn't needed) can be fixed so quickly, but the problems that mess up the chat have been ongoing are still issues.


Nice.

Bug

I was the nick 'Cat'

Changed it to 'Asch' to prove I could have the same nick as someone in the room
notice: dragoncat has a new nickname: Asch

Tried to switch back to 'Cat' and it is unavailable.
notice: Sorry, the name 'Cat' is not available

I can be any other nick, but not Cat.

I honestly don't like this >:

I like my own name.

And if I catch someone using my name as a 'nickname' it will make me very upset.

<3 Rest in Peace Mommy. 9.26.17 I love you with all my heart <3

Idk if I like this or not... lmao
This is getting abused pretty badly already I guess

...I've been on chat for about an hour and i've already had about 7 nicknames
It's pretty fun I guess but pretty pointless at the same time too and I don't really like the whole thing about having two names
the closer i get
the worse it becomes

I think the only thing I'll actually use this for is to make myself identifiable to others under different account names. Nope, can't: [9:26am] Angharad: [9:26am] notice: Sorry, the name 'Silvereye' is not available.
That's it. I can see kids all naming themselves "single female" or something and going from room to room. Lmfao.

But really...Idk it all seems pointless to me, and its given idiots another tool with which to prove their immaturity to us all.


Edit: Okay so I found something useful about it. People who are lower than standard can basically use it as an away message.
