Nickname Donation

--- Quote from: Xeadin on May 06, 2012, 10:42:41 pm ---Using /whois on a player displays the Nickname first then the actual username.
For example, it currently displays the first line as:
"myskillzownu is myskillzownu"
With a nickname, it would read:
"Dave is myskillzownu"
However, not every single player will be using /whois all the time.
And I would agree with everyone else -- Nicknames would not only make things confusing, but it's also not actually necessary here. Every server is different. If we don't see a beneficial use for a certain feature, why use it?

How often do you truly need a persons real name?
And the ~ at the front would let you know they have a nickname set before you type in your command.
The point isn't that it's beneficial, it's just, in my opinion, nice.
I'll stop arguing though; the consensus is against it and I see no reason to carry on a lost cause.

Everytime.
We would need your real username to TP to you, etc.

As Xeadin said previously, you would have to use the /whois command to find out the real name, but adding on to this suggestion. Perhaps we could have a donation package to raise the 8 character limit of the /changetitle command. Granted it should not go up any higher than 15 characters, but still it'd be, in my opinion, a good package.

It will create more stress for the server in general. You could have people with the same nickname. Mods+ will have a harder time identifying players. Etc
