Well, as the title implies, I found a special name simply because it's my go to name for female characters.


Now the reason I started this thread is because I'm not really sure how to handle this.


For example I don't know wether or not I should (or am allowed to) share it with others or if I'm even allowed to use it myself.


I'd like to hear you guys opinion on it but until I know exactly what the situation is I will keep the name to myself.

You can find special names quite easily so I would say go ahead. Saying that, I'm not sure if there is an official or an unwritten rule about it.

You are discouraged from sharing special names, but nobody's going to stop you from using it yourself if you want to.

I guess naming my characters the same thing every time has had the opposite effect for me

I was disappointed that naming your character "Fenoxo" or "Savin" wouldn't trigger anything. I was hoping for at least a "ಠ_ಠ" to show up when I tried.

Sadly not, in fact one of the names is impossible to use since it uses the ^ accent and the game won't accept certain characters

As long one can read code it not need to quess names. SO some are jsut lucky to find names they been always using to be actual names that some backer back in a days picked as special name.

Noone would suspect you for some underhand things. Well as long you not gonna run around forum telling all those special names you *found*


Seen already at least one other person that also happened to play always with name that turned out to be special one like your case. SO I wonder how long till new lurker come to forum saying his/her chara name is special too ^^

Knowing furries, these are exactly the kind of names you want to look for.


If I had a dime for every Shadowmoon Nightsteel or variant thereof...

I thought they were all coded? In any case most of them are single first names (with "sort of" exceptions), as your last name will always be Steele.

I noticed that during testing, and this should be fixed for the the next release, hopefully.
