Silkroad Online Forums

Or...omg they don't want anyone to know them, maybe they hate everyone here...don't say i blame them. Most of you take the bot thing too seriously, do you play for fun or do you feel to have fun everyone should do the right thing? Just play the game and forget what everyone else does...its not that hard

Your poll options are retarded.

This is a stupid thread. This will never happen.

BTW youll never guess what my ign is

THIS THREAD:

I like keeping my build a secret? =)

Topic answer is a big NO

*btw your options suck

I don't think we need to have our names in our sigs, but I do think that it is stupid to blur out your name in a ss. Blurring out your skills and stuff is fine because you might have a good skill setup or want your build to be a secret. There really is no reason to blur out names.

@Joey I know the options are retarded but rather than just say they perhaps you should offer up some other options instead.

They are retarded because I really do not understand at all why you would not want people to know who you are in game. The only valid point someone brought up was the hacking issue however if you used common sense you would not put any vital personal information in your profile for people to see.

I did not intend this thread to be a catalyst for change and suddenly an enforcement of this rule be in place. I would rather it be a catalyst for common sense.

Why make a thread showing a screenshot of yourself doing something and then not tell the server name or your char name or details or anything?

Why? I just do not understand it... you want to be inconspicuous? Then why make a thread about yourself?

pixie: I got to level 90!! woot!!
every1else: who are you? what server do you play?
pixie: I'm not telling.
every1else: ur a d1ck.

I played other games prior to sro and I also play cabal concurrently. But in all other forums for other mmo's I never see the ridiculous behaviour that is portrayed here.

Hiding ign/lvl/skill bars etc...

As I stated the only valid argument I can see to do it is to avoid instance of hacking.

Afraid someone will pm you in game lol give me a break..
somenoob: "Hi I saw you on srf, 10k pl0x pof pl0x"

I am LivithiuM on Redsea Server and I despise people who hide their char names in screenshots.

so what is it? u hate how ppl hide their ign on ss or u hate how ppl don't put their ign in their sigs?

Actually, I think its retarded to hide your name too.

But who cares really.

Im not telling my ign cause I need my privacies! *mean face*

*Points to sig*

@TOloseGT

For common decency apply char names to sig.

Common etiquette is to leave char names unaltered in screenshots.

Or at least this is my opinion.

No becuase i have had like 3 people say 'hi iam from srf i just moved to this server could you give me gold and some plvling to start me off'

Oldman is the only char i like people to know.

My character name is not in my sig, but anyone with half a brain can figure out at least one of them.

Yes, I have had people PM me once they recognize me in-game, and while it has not been that much of a problem, it could be for other people, thus their reluctance to put in a character name.

Here's another possibility: Some people might use the same name on a variety of forums and don't need stalkers. I am already exposing my IP address to the mods, I trust the mods to do their job. But I don't need someone else putting 2 + 2 together and finding my exact home location (easily doable with an IP and a first or last name).

Screenshots: Another issue entirely, I side with you on that one, but won't force it.

Thank you for your opinion, it is duly noted.

I see where your got the idea for this topic and in that case i completely agree, when people want to brag about their levels at least be man enough to show your nick.

Fhe first day i linked a char to my SRF account problems started, so no thanks but for every attention screaming poster out there should post their nick too. (talking especially about all those anonymous 1million sp farmers and the level 90 people)

I keep my ingame name in my screenshots but I wont list it on my sig, since the words in a signature are searchable by any search engine, words in a screenshot are not. besides, if that person is knowledgable but like banned you from his parties every once in a while, would you still take his words for what they mean or throw them out the window since you dont like that person in game?

you have been flamed,
and you phailed

Yeah ofc i wouldnt take my name out of screenshots.

I don't people to know my ingame name.

I have secrets.

What sort of secrets?

talk about fallacious poll options

with the information that rev6 now gives out, I dont think anyone has any gear secrets, except for jewels. there are only so many builds you can make, so no secret there. humm doesnt leave much to have secrets about in game, unless your a scammer or something, thats not listed on rev6 lol

lol, u must be kidding me.

common decency? common etiquette? showing ur ign doesn't do that one bit. it's what u post and how u post that applies those. showing ur ign is entirely a personal matter that doesn't effect neone else but urself, it means u either trust every1 to not bother u, or u want to show off ur character.

Then can you please explain to me the point of making dumb threads like "zomg i leveled to 90" yet you don't tell anyone your char name or even what server your on...

There is no point!

If your going to post screenshots about your achievements then why the hell would you not leave it unedited.

Seriously every thread I see like this i just want to post a reply with one word "retard".

secret....

"No, I like my privacy for some unknown reason". I used to do it, but some time ago I just realized it was not necessarily at all.

Your kidding me right?

I think this thread has just won the award for Most Rediculas Thread of the Year 2008.

+1337 Happened to me several times

Umm say no?
I would. I don't care where they are from. I'll be nice but I wont plvl anyone randomly just because they are from SRF.

We shouldnt have to say who we are anyways this is the internet, people act diffrently on here usually, so I dont wanna spam my characters name in every single one of my posts, thats my thing, if you wanna post it we arent stopping you, but to force us to list it is pretty dumb IMO.

it would have to be just our main chars. i have like 4 chars that i use alot.
