In-Game Name

[Cpt-Praxius]

Just wondering, and I haven't heard it talked about yet..... with the new unlock & progression system, how will player's names be handled in RO2?

I know that in RO1 and the Mod, you can choose whatever name you wish, but will RO2 revolve around your Steam Name, or do you make a profile within RO2 to setup a name/account for progression?

I ask because on Steam I'm "Praxius" not "Cpt-Praxius" and wondered if when I start up the game, would I be shown as just "Praxius"

I hope it's a profile system that way I can smurf a bit and try different stuff while not using my "good" name and losing some ratio or what ever.

Hopefully you can define your in-game nick separately from your Steam friends handle, like in ROOST. It's a pain in the *** having to change your Steam name just to change your in-game nick.

Errrr...

Isn't it easier? Why would you want a dozen different display names instead of one that everyone could recognize? Besides, changing through Steam is quite quick, as opposed to hitting escape and going through a few menus...

Dunno about RO:HOS but in RO:OST all you had to do was hit ESC in-game and there it was...
Or change it in the options, ofc.

I hope it will not use steam names, I don't like these unreadable ^1C^2O^3D ^4n^5a^6m^7e^8s (really, CoD should stop using old color codes and store them in game, not in steam name).

I'll be playing as RO2Player (or whatever default name is).

I haven't seen too many Crap of Duty colour name arrow things in quite a while, but I guess MW6439 is coming out soon... :/

Some people have multiple clans or other (in)valid reasons to change it often. If people on a CoD server know you by another name then people on the RO server, you would want to keep both names in those games separately.

Not that I care a lot, but soem people have their reasons

I played Homefront on Steam and the CoD color code thing was all over the place. It was so common that some server admins started booting players who used it just out of sheer annoyance.
