Nickname Donation

<< < (2/3) > >>

Nick3306:
We decided we would not allow nicknames because it just makes more work for our moderators. So there is almost no chance this will happen, sorry.

clawstrider:
As well as what Nick said, what happens if there is two "Daves"? Then you either can't tell the difference, or can't let one have what they paid for.

Agreed... And what if someone gets "Dave" before you do, then makes a complete ass of themselves and gets banned, then you appear with the name "Dave".  Think that would go over well?  I'd hate to see the spam PM's you would get.

Myskillzownu:
My initial thought is names are given on a first come, first serve basis.

I also don't believe it would create too much work; I've seen it implemented on servers before and it worked nicely. (I do believe it was for Top-Donaters only though (which I was), and that was $50+. They did also received other perks, such as the ability to spawn items.)
And, assuming this server is running essentials, there is a command you can type to determine a players username in the event that it's needed. (Though if they griefed or something along that line their real name would be displayed, not their nick.)

Someone could beat you to a nickname the same as they could to a Minecraft name. The only difference being, there's a much smaller player-base on this server than the whole of Minecraft. With that said, you will have a much higher chance of getting your desired name.

Maybe they could be offered in a manner that's harder to achieve than donating, as to avoid a "large" number of nicks. All I know is I much prefer to have my nick displayed.
Oh well, when I'm not flat broke and can donate I may just go for the /tpa.

Xeadin:
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?
