Normal User Posts: 3,642	Aye. Patz is so very right, there. If multiples of names were allowed, the factor of a good name would be pretty much entirely negated, in determining the value of Creatu. If everyone could name their pets whatever they wanted, no matter whether or not someone else already had a Creatu with the same name, then there would be no reason to go out and buy pets, other than perhaps rarity and color. And the fact that a name can only belong to one Creatu makes every pet special. If there were multiples of names, no Creatu would ever feel as special as they do. It makes every one unique.

I mean 'realistically' a persons value doesn't decrease just because there are two Amy's in the room, makes them more common maybe, but thats why a person distinguishes themself from that Amy and that Amy through their actions. This game however is not as complex as life (realistically speaking) and kinda simple. Since it's simple, we have to use 'individual' names no one else has to add to the character of our creatu since thats one of the few only ways to do such things, the other being (not including deion), its rarity, its colour, and its stats.

So the name could be used so many times but only once per creature breed. It might elevate some of the frustation and I don't think it would lower the price on said creature horribly.

Normal User Posts: 3,642	Yeh. Methinks it would. ;l That's over thirty-five uses of a name. It really wouldn't seem like all that much, in comparison to the total number of users there are, now, but really, that would probably make quite a bit of difference... And having that many other people with the same name as your�own Creatu�would still make it feel.. not special, anymore. x3

Normal User Posts: 45	Mmm....perhaps limited it to five. Shrugs It's all a mater of chance really that someone going to want the same name. Really, I'm more for just recycling names of those released in the wild. I'm a Rancher. I would really like a Blonde Zenxitus (Think I spelt that right) I have four more Zen eggs to hatch. I'm not going to keep the naturals. I'm not going to be able to sell them so I been using numbers and letters and then releasing them. If we just recycled those names. I would be very happy to be able to reuse them.

Normal User Posts: 85	well you could still pay 1.2 milliion for a good name on a good creatu with better stats, and not get stuck with an ugly one. No one is limiting you, so what a few creatu have the same name. Buy the creatu that you like the most with that name. Really you guys make it seem like its the end of the world, it is if you get so stuck on 'It's only worth it if I'm the only one who gets to have it' kinda thing. So great now you have a natural creatu with a great name, what about other creatus that are just as great? � I felt so annoyed when the name Irkalla and Ereskigal were taken, one of which was used on a creatu it 1.) didn't match, since Ereskigal in real life is Queen of the Underworld, better fit for an Ebilia and 2.) the person who wrote the history on one of them got the mythology/history of it mixed up/wrong, and put male instead of female. �So when a good name gets used in a wrong way, that sickens me. And when people talk about how the system only works because everyone only gets to have one name that belongs to them only that also annoys me(and the only reason it wouldn't annoy me is if I said oh yes but of course Rescreatu is just another 'simple' site), because you guys are so stuck on 'this is the way it has been it won't work any other way' when there are plenty of sites that work just fine with that process, and the more players we get to play this game the more chances that we'll have to come up with bizarre names that may not even interest us...these aren't usernames these are pets, and we create multiple pets... So just because you have a name that someone else has...don't freak out. It's not the end of the world, the economy isn't ruined. Unless of course Rescreatu is just another simple minded game, so that a creatu's only worth is it's rarity, stats, and it's name. Wow... No wonder the forests are so full with creatu, the only main point of the game is to get 'rares' with a name no one else has. And if thats the main point of Rescreatu, then sure names shouldn't be held by more than one, that would ruin the whole point. "Do you know somewhere he can be free? River, deliver him there."

Normal User Posts: 93	Still... the name you choose for your creatu is your own; no one can take it. Can you imagine how much creatu named Aqua there would be? It sickens me to think that, if i ever get a really good name, i would be copied, and the name wouldnt be mine. Creatu would lose their value. Some people love the unique names, I do myself. Its a bad idea. Sorry.

Normal User Posts: 1,775	This is why names must be unique! If you take a look at wajas, their names are not unique. You can see that the economy of wajas goes up and down constantly. The wajas are only bought by their appearance. However, there is one downside... Inactive accounts are hogging up many names. There are less names nowadays due to the growing site. Look at neopets! All of the names are taken up! Names without numbers are practically non-existent! I (HATE)' YOU Feel the love man D:<

Normal User Posts: 85	I dont think 'we' should be able to 'own' a name. It's not like its 'patented' and you basically create the name and give it away, in some cases so unless that person is a friend or something they're not going to say where they got the name from or the shop of the owner who makes those great names. � We're just going to run out. I still feel a bit sore about my Ereskigal/Irkalla name, I spent days, literally days almost a full week thinking about what to name my Ebilia and discussing opinions with people outside Rescreatu, and putting pictures up to ask what colour the names felt like(long story). Once it hatched it came out a different colour which I wasn't expecting and I felt annoyed/angry! I was like how dare it hatch cream when I just spent several days officially trying to decide a name for a natural creatu. Well then I spent several more days trying to figure out which name fit my creatu more, only to find the perfect name be taken and by someone who didn't even know any accurate history behind it.� � I was so heated because there was no other name I thought was perfect for an Ebilia, at that point I was willing to say screw it, I don't have time for this. But well...� I was forced to come up with another name close to the name I wanted. I like it more but I believe in 'name theft after creation' just by looking at it. On the one hand beautiful names like that would be copied, on the other hand less people would be saved the conflict of what happens when a name they loved is used (or can't be found in the system) in a way that is wrong and living with the fact that since someone else screwed it up you gotta pay for their mistake by creating another name.... I don't remember neopets actually, first game I ever played, but its changed a lot since I last saw it in the past couple of years. But thats what I mean names will just 'take up', and the sort. I don't know really. It doesn't matter so much, to me its just a game it is the way it is. It would have it's pros and cons to have the same names, just like it has its pros and cons right now not having the same name. Guess it depends on how you look at it, and which pros/cons you can live with?� Both have their annoying drawbacks/settings. Right now a creatu's value is in their name and rarity, (and stats), and until we get something else set up in the area of 'value' to make creatu more valuable other than just those things which really can't be done I don't think since even in real life people generally value an animal based on how easy it can be trained, its value, and its rarity. Because it is a game it does have to be simple, it can't be complex. What makes games so enjoyable is that they're not as complex and you can learn them and if they are that takes more time and you have to learn a complete new system. Since it's just a simple smaller version to add more towards what would make a creatu more valuable is... Because rescreatu is a game I'm saying that pros/cons wise its simpler to just make it so everyone has a different name. To make it complex (more life based) more people could share more than one name. In the end I don't think I care so much really? Whatever the system is or will be thats the way it is you know. In this setting, being frustrated over names being taken after waiting and planning for the perfect creatu/hatching with the perfect name is...one of the cons of this system, but there are pros, just like the other system (sharing names)� has pros and cons.� Guess it depends on how you look at it. I don't think however that the name would go down, and that I do believe if we chose the other way we could find another way to make th evalue of creatu go up.� The problem with me (lol) is the more I discuss and work through a problem the less I care in most cases and the more I think of it as whatever (haha). But yeah, the less emotionally charged me is thinking what ev, both systems could work, its just what are you willing to sacrifice? "Your personal 'patent'/'ownership' of a name." vs. "Lack of frustration when you plan or use a name you've always loved or'like' only to find it taken." I mean heck there could be a minature number that says you were the first one to come up with this name its about who came up with it first as far as originality. You can't really own a name though. If people see your username or like it they put it in their own. Some crazy person once saw my name and obsessively used it in their emails... (I was mildly annoyed but there was no law saying they couldn't take it as their own). Growing up my personal name was very unique, only a handful of people int he world had it, the only thing unique about it now is it's rare spelling. It felt good to be unique, and I had this growing fear that it would become more 'common' like a common name, and as I've grown up it has become more common. But the way its spelled hasn't ^_^. So I don't know, the moment I create a name others got dibs on it. That's why all of the millions of names I created I don't post online for fear other people will use it to begin with unless I plan to do somethng that has a permanent date and the sort to proove I came up with them originally. Because once you put a name out there...it's liable to be taken. (sad truths) "Do you know somewhere he can be free? River, deliver him there."
