Edited by: Serenity Steele on 15/12/2009 22:13:49 Simple as the title suggests, EVE Players should be able to reserve their player, corporation and alliance name in the Dust514 console game.
This is necessary to have congruence in all characters in the Eve-Online Universe being controlled by a single RL individual, regardless which interface players use to access New Eden.
This could be achieved in a number of ways, with varying levels of restriction for CCP Games/Immersion breaking for one universe: - Players manually choose to reserve names - All EVE-Online names are reserved for a fixed period of months from creation - EVE-Online names are permanently reserved in the Dust514 Game.
The Inverse of this Policy should also be applied: Names created in the New Eden universe on the Dust514 console should be reserved from usage in EVE-Online.
This policy should be further extended to all future games used to access the New Eden universe.

When they first announced it at the GDC Europe, I spoke to CCP and they hadn't gone so far in their thinking (yet) - so it isn't already the case. We have an opportunity to make it the case if the issue is raised via the CSM.

It would be nice to see this although i could see a few issues with the numbers of alts with silly names in eve ^^
Maybe have an opportunity to register your current name or something?

Yeah, I'm not sure what the exact policy here should be, but something is clearly necessary. I expect it'll probably happen on its own, but it's best to make sure.

Agreed.
All Dust players shall make use of the letter '4' in their names along with prefixes and suffixes of 'xxXx' and 'xXxx'.
Besides, I don't want anyone running around planet-side doing stupid stuff under the name of WheatGrass.

surely if both eve and dust players are expected to use New Eden (spacebook), CCP have thought of this...

Surely by definition a pod pilot isn't a DUST merc? So wouldn't reserving character names break immersion?
Reserved Corp/Alliance names is fine, although I suggest that only the names of corp/alliances with at least 1 subscribed member be reserved.

This is a good point. I'm a little torn on this issue. On one side I don't want to see a DUST character with the name I've used for all these years. On the other side, I can't see any pod pilot actually putting boots on the ground in a fight.

it should be reserved for a short amount of time i think.

Based on the back story, pod pilots have incredible amounts of power, so I don't think its a stretch to say that we could make it so no one else would have our name dirt side. ---- --- ---

The power to make children's parents change the names they were given? On thousands of worlds?
Google your own real name, odds are you're not the only one that has it. That's just on one little planet. In a galactic civilization there would likely be MANY name duplications.

I do not support this.
There is only one character, i.e. me, you, etc. He/she is a pod pilot, not a ground pounder that is at the same time flying a ship on the PC.
However, reserving corp and alliance names is a great idea. As there is only one Ishukone corp that can be everywhere they want to be. CCP will have to decide how much integration they want to give between the two platforms and make the call.

Picking a name in EVE can be hard already with the hundreds of thousands of taken names. To eliminate these names from availability to dust players will suck for them.
Instead of blocking all names CCP should make a feature in EVE where an EVE player can reserve his name against use in 514. Thus "famous" players in EVE can reserve their name but others who don't care wont.
I think this reservation should be available for free to all players through account management. This service should also be available to 514 players who create original names.
Not supported as OP proposes. CCRES is recruiting pilots who want to live in WSpace/Wormholes. Fill out an application here! |
