Making a Name (new player)

[Rrelmiw]

i have spent the last 40 minutes designing my character
i had the name all planned out, but they surprised me with this last name and nick name business.

what happens if i don't enter a nick name? i want my guy to go by the first name.

also it's getting late. if i exit the game without figuring this out, will i have to start designing the character all over again?

dunno if u can leave the nickname (or any other) out. and no sadly we dont have the choice of the display name anymore..full name is always showing

We used to be able to choose, but now all avatars go by their full name

EDIT:

You can't leave any box blank.

Your name appears as so :

Firstname Nickname Lastname.

All your names show when you go in game too .. so don't pick something you're going to hate tomorrow.

I am Danielle "Your Mom" Deathbringer!!

are we normally called by our first name or by our nick name?

maybe i will just make the name i want the nick name, if that is the case

All three names will appear in the format of Firstname Nickname Lastname.

My first name is Midori.
My second name Fairlona.
My nickname is Beretrena.

I am shown in in-game chat and all other displays as "Midori Beretrena Fairlona".

How you are called will depend on what you ask people to call you and how easy it is to type each name (many people will just call you by the shortest of your three names). Most of my friends call me Midori, but they can see my full name all the time.

Depend on who talk with you. I use nickname, when talk with someone, and i like when other peoples use my nickname, when talk with me.
But many peoples use first or last name. So better choose something, what sound fine for you in any way.

I get called by both, then there are those that call me by something else

I usually call people by their nickname, but all they have to do is say they want called by another name.
