Suggestion:
I would argue that the characters name is of no less importance than the costume itself. Many a character begins its creation with the name, which is more of a title really, the costume then manifests around that. For others, their imagination goes wild, the character takes shape...and then the perfect name to finish...until you get notified that :
'That name is already being used by another character. Please Try again'.
Not a good look for someone who's never played before only to find the iconic name they needed to complete their character is unavailable. In the back of their subconscious, this slowly drains any interest for long term investment. Sad, but true.
THEREFORE, I propose that for communication, mail, ect. the individuals handle/account name should be used, thus allowing the use of any name for any character. The same way that StarTreck Online does it.
Perhaps I am wrong, but I believe that this can only be a good thing, as it promotes more creativity, unhindered by first come first serve. It will allow new and old players alike to get the perfect name for their character without worry.
Request:
Admittedly, this is a somewhat unrealistic request, as it would require someone to tutor me in the ways of code/asset design, among many other things.
I've only recently started playing COH compared to most. I believe COH and consequently the community is something truly special. Homecoming stands alone in what it has to offer people this day and age when buying something isn't owning, and corporate fat cats think they have more right to your life than you do, in that it promotes imagination, good times, and quality interactions.
What I'm getting at, is that most people my age, have no interest in quality. They are susceptible to peer pressure and value the opinions of the internet more than that of themselves or even their own family.
It's a shame really. They play the newest $120$ game, not because it's good, but because if they don't, then they are a 'loser'. If they play a game that is of a certain era, they are a 'loser'.
Personally, for me, a supercomputer couldn't even begin to compute the number of F@&#$ I do not give. I like what I like, and I hate what I hate.
Which is why I want to contribute to Homecomings wellbeing. Specifically, I want to create content, run maintenance, things like that.
Now I would be lying if I said I knew what I was asking. I don't really know what I would have to learn. What I am saying, is that I am willing to learn, if someone is willing to teach.
I'm not tech savvy. I'm a nature guy. Arborist, Park Service, State DNR; that sort of thing. I do posses an adaptable mind however.
I want Homecoming to be around for many, many, more years to come, and I'm willing to learn to make that happen.
