Your eq name

I respond to my first name, middle name, and my quake/doom alias (and derivatives of it). It's sort of strange -- on voice chat people call me by my first name but when I was at quakecon the same fellows referred to me with the alias. Archid sounds retarded in real life, especially when people pronounce it "Arch-id". Lame.

When we were in Vagary, I remember how weird it was that everyone referred to each other by their first names. Its almost harder to remember real names than eq names. So you were just Joel to me. =D

There are a few variants to my name, the correct one being Wah-c-done (kind of a spin off of my buddie's name Wasim). I'll usually respond to anything tho.

Joel/Brandon/John/Ray/Joe/Randi/r0z was everyone I think. :\ Honorable mention to Tony/Cathy

Archid/Modnar/Kapten/Lovista/Leothe/something/Cait. :p There was that bitch old lady druid, too, but I can't remember her name. What a worthless wench.

Funny thing is everyone resided in MI but you. :\

I dont even notice when people call me Sajan. Sajon or Sajan have always been my names in games so it doesnt seem strange to me at all.

Being that My eq name is part of my RL name i respsond to it quite alot since family only uses Keahi instead of my first name, or my full middle name.

A few people at work call me Pros, and yes I respond to that.

I've been referred to by my EQ name...and had to correct the pronunciation~

I don't mind it, but what I DO mind is when people call me Angela. Especially when people in the call center at my job transfer calls for a girl named Angela Harrelson to me. We have the same initials. That's IT! :yell

Thats IT or thats I.T. ?=P

I'm pretty easy going about people calling me by my real name, but it doesn't bother me if people call me Verileah. Although I made one friend in EQ who called me Leah...took me damn near forever to figure out who the hell she was talking to.

I don't know that I'll keep the name Verileah in the next game I play, but it's likely my new name will start with a V. I like V names for some reason :).

It's kind of interesting though...my husband, Fozzik the Beastlord, wasn't what I'd call "well known." He spent a long time unguilded, and liked to solo and keep to himself. He was surprised when he joined a new gaming community and lots of people recognized his name from EQ. So that's a reason to keep it I suppose...continuity is nice. Of course, I suppose that only really matters if you have a reputation you wish to preserve, and I don't know that I have one, good or bad.

As far as Verileah having greater meaning to me...hell, I just wanted something that sounded like a girl's name and fit with the character I created. Plus I like the word Verily :D. Alas, I was until my last day of playing addressed as "sir" "bro" or "buddy". This annoyed me, though I suppose a slight chip on my shoulder from my school days of being called William is not all that surprising or unexpected. (My real name is Billie, and I suppose I grew into it well enough. I finally forgave my mother, at least.)

Mae called me Piggy on the phone once and I blushed.

Its because I keep forgetting your name is JR. :teehee Piggy is so cute sounding! :hug

Oh and Vebran's original name was Assman, but when he corrected a GM's spelling, they changed it. :teehee

I respond to Jin and Consy, both shortenings of my various online aliases.

I've played Belial in various games, starting with pen-and-paper RPGs before there were any computer rpgs, and then continuing on into MMOGs. It's also been my 'net handle on various boards for many years, so yeah, I respond to it, although I seldom get called by that name, unless it is a RL introduction to someone I've only known online.

Not only do I answer to it, I've referred to my hubby by his online name (Rugster / Rugs) in conversation with other gamers, and identified myself by Steel when calling someone

"Hi, this is Mandy, who you know as Steel. The squid popped, get your ass otm". Vulash can attest to this, hehe.


The name was originally SteelDragon in another game, SoE didn't like that though =( the "aoa" is a tribute reference to a guild in that other game, and there are several other toons who also carry it, we came to EQ as a group.

If you keep it to "Steel", which I prefer, I will answer to it if you call me.

Steel is one of the kind of rare really cool names IMO.

Can really replace a name like Pigfoot either.

Most people know me by Mizen now, but I used to play Jarlaxyle.

I remember when we had a RL guild meeting in my old guild and everyone called me Jar.

That was quite disturbing.

I went to the seattle fan faire (veb ditched me :( ) but I met up with...crap, I forget his name now and...crap I forget how to spell the other guy's name but both were from Scarlet Horizon (guild we were in then). I met up with them the night before at this local pub (long story short) when I walked in, one of them said, 'YOU'RE Cait?! That was so weird lol. I can't remember if everyone called me Roz or Cait, but I'm sure I answered to both. That's where I met Vlantash who looks EXACTLY like his paladin dorf LOL.

I'm not recognized as my EQ name....well maybe a couple times on TeamSpeak, but thats it. Back when I played quake (I too went to a quakecon or two) my game names were Jester (when I very first started and was playing on the id satan servers), then changed to Echo (while on Mplayer) then I changed to Ripptide (yes I know the real spelling has 1 "p" in it.) Nobody recognized me by that name...so I shortened it up to Ripp, because that is what they did call me. I used that name for a looooong time, up until I quit shooters. My RL quake buddies all refered to me as Ripp, or Rippy, and I responded...never thought anything else about it. :grin:

I'm pretty sure my eq2 name will change. I might keep Rikr....if people will pronounce it as Ry-kur instead of Rick-uhr. I have another namein mind (well 2 actually that I might use...but I shant say, just in case someone else gets em first) :grin:
