Do you regret character names or campaigns ever?

Do you say I should have started in <insert campaign> or I should have chose <character name> instead? I was just curious.

Not for campaigns.

Definately for character names. I made all of mine when i was a 12 year old roleplaying >.<

Name, yes. Campaign, no. With few exceptions, campaign is irrelevant once you're at a port town, which comes quickly in 2/3 campaigns.

Name (and name change) has been discussed into the dirt a thousand times before, so expect lots of flames, particularly because within your first 4 posts you started a rather useless discussion thread.

Nah because my older character names give me that nostalgic feeling which is always welcome.

Plus who can beat a name like Acherulis Maximus? How about White Wirlver? Or even Natzviar Beritzsha?!

Names are pro.

Yes.

I noticed the typo like 1 month after character creation, which made me a sad panda.

I certainly wish I hadn't started a trend with mine.

I started off with Kedric Trolltwatter, a wammo who only discovered how apt his name was when he finally reached Droknar's Forge.

The name amused me, so I continued with Kedric Yetitwatter, Planttwatter, Dwarftwatter, Grawltwatter, Deathtwatter, Eletwatter, Messytwatter - it ended up being an annoying enough trend on its own, but when you consider the fact that most of those Kedrics are actually female characters...

I had much more fun with my mules - Stor Mai Stuf, I Am A Cupboard, I Hold Your Tackle and, my personal favourite, Genesis P Storage.

I can't say how much I regret putting "shadow" into my assassin name %) He's my main and it's kinda sad that you can't throw a dead cat on a rail and miss something similar. The only thing that comforts me is that it's not naruto-related at least %)

i do regret it too, made my monk with a reason to only farm with him so really didnt bother with name too much, but after i finnished NF to farm doa and some other missions in other campaigns i realized how cool monking actually is and continued playing him as my main. Only after some months i realized how lame "Dragon Healer" sounds

I don't regret any of my names or campaigns.

Arkantos The Mighty is a mighty name.

The only thing that irks me about character names is when I can't use one that's already taken and there's a good chance that person isn't playing anymore.

Ive had many names i made when i was about 12, most of which have now been deleted.

I'm pretty satisfied with my character names, and campaigns, as I choose campaign mostly for which one has the most appealing looking version of the profession I'm making. Now, whether I'm happy with the professions I've chosen to invest in is another question, and one I certainly am stuck with.

Yeah, I had a great name for my sin, but got hit by a-nets ban stick (which i didnt agree with.) I was so frustrated at the time i couldnt think of anything clever so I renamed her Flirtatious Sin (lame, I know) and shes Survivor R3 so i dont want to delete her. FAIL

Yeh i wish i could change toon names, when i first started aged 13 i couldnt think of a name so i gave my first toon my full name ¬_¬ which sounded horrible. But he got deleted when someone stole my account ¬_¬ Other than that im ok with my names, Maximus T Pain, I Enchanted Me I = Two main chars, Haung Sai wish i could change now, but don't mind, not terrible. Rest are pvp which i delete - recreate regually with names like Range Yo Real Good, Smonking Time lol.

Heh, nope, not at all. I made my names with the thought that they should be poetic and also not stupid. See my IGN on the left as an example.

I resent that. I left and came back a few times. But, I'll say this, when I first created my characters (in March '05), names like "White Dragon," "White Paladin," etc, were all gone. They started the beta in December as I recall, and it makes me wonder if the guys with those names are around anymore.

Oh yeah, as for campaign. I would definitely avoid started NF if I can help it. I much rather have leveled up heroes than to babysit them and level them up.

I give my characters actual names that are appropriate to the campaign I start them in (ie Factions characters have Asian names, Nightfall characters have African/Middle-Eastern names, Prophecies characters have European names), and I always spend a bit of time coming up with the name so I can make sure I come up with something I like.

Campaign, nope, because it's easy to go to a different one.

I choose my names and campains very carefully, so I don't regret anything.

The closest to regrets I have is a mispelling of my ele's name Fengh Huang, I didn't discover the error untill she had the tengu mask. The name doesn't seem bad but she was named after one of the Chinese holy animals, si-ling, feng huang is a phoenix, fengh huang is nothing.

Names

One in particular. My elementalist. I named him on a whim from what my old boss used to call one of my fellow employees at the time. All my other names came easy, but i could not find the inspiration for him. I stopped playing him for awhile due to ele's in tyria were/are very suspect. By the time i wanted to get back into playing an ele, he was already 2-3 years old and had 15k armor. Seemed like a big waste of money/time to redo him for a name.

Yeah, I've regretted several names. Mostly because I created the character as a mule, then eventually decided to play it because it was fun/would be useful and didn't want to remake because it was over a year old already. And I regret some hair styles.

Only name I regret that of my para: Click To Control Me. There are so much better names, probably that's the reason why I don't play him as much.
