Choosing your character's name
I don't think I have had a more crippling gaming disability than the inability to come up with a satisfactory name for any character I plan to spend a decent amount of time on.
The other day a friend of mine was making a character and hit the random button once and said "Yeah... That looks fine." and created their character. I really envy that mindset. It has taken me upwards of about a week to come up with a name at times. I wish my brain functioned properly. | ||

In 1999 it was a multiday process. Flippin through all my fantasy novels and DND materials.
Nowdays it's as easy as a few clicks on the fantasy name generator and you get a racially appropriate name. Granted back then if u petitioned enough a GM would eventually give a name change | ||

Someway to maybe donate for a one time name change and having the name posted in a stickied "Recent Name Changes" thread where they stay there for a predetermined amount of time would be such a nice QoL change for someone like myself.
I know it sounds bad, but I don't think it would get abused as much as you would think and it would help to raise money for the server operation costs. | ||

Also takes me ages to find an appropriate name.
Sometimes I click the ingame name generator and change the suggested name around a bit. Some of the generated ones aren't too bad actually. They usually fit the chosen race well. I also have a list of names I have used in other or previous games. Many of those are taken already on P1999 tho. It is a really important choice for me, too. The name determines what people think of you when they first read it. I cannot understand how some people give their characters really stupid names that don't even fit a fantasy world. | ||

I pick a name from a show or movie I like and then alter it until it’s unrecognizable.
