Yes, its this thread again.

So, basic question, where did you get your in-game name from?

This thread is open to HT goers, but sure, "out of server" strangers are welcome too!

I'll start, the name Knownase came from 3 simple words, Known As "E". As for what the letter E stands for, no idea, just sounded cool, like having an undercover name. b:cool


K, your turn now.

    duckingtiger was made cause i first wanted to have just ducky,but that was taken. So i figured I would still use duck in a more creative way and paid homage to a great kung fu movie.

    Aesthor is just a name I made up for one of my side characters (in RP, not in PW o_o). The character itself was actually male, so now I have a hard time re-adjusting to Aesthor = male mentality, especially since he didn't exist for as long as Aesthor the PW archer existed before he was created. PW!Aesthor and RP!Aesthor are both archers, but look nothing alike. And RP!Aesthor is on the verge of disappearing because it's just hard for him not to get affected by my in-game antics.

    Jhalil, It's my actual name. I lack originality and really, I'm not worried about online predators :p (PM me for my address, come have a cup of tea at my place :D).

    As for my archer Doodlesmoosh, I asked my baby brother he said "Doodle". That was taking and I was watching a video on youtube by the smoshbrothers, so I made it Doodlesmoosh, since Doodlesmosh looked weird, I added an extra "o" :D

    LifeHunting:

    Life part came because i wanted to incorperate what I plan to do at endgame, which is PK.
    Hunting came when every other term was taken and I thought "Why not just please Hunting after it since I'll be PK'ing end-game it makes sense!"

    and that is how I made this name.

    I created this name after the mythical creature (obviously); mythical creatures have always fascinated me. You can read more about Griffins: HERE

    I originally had this name ("Gryphyyn") in a previous MMORPG, and decided to use it for PWI, as well. In addition to my character being an archer, he has claws as well as a bow - so this name seemed appropriate considering the hybrid nature of the character.

    Anne is a name i have been in love with since i read a certain diary when i was very young. it was my second character's name on the server after i got sick of my archer (back when pwi first came out and it was just toooo expensive to keep up with arrows, pots, etc.) Her name is spelled incorrectly due to already being taken, but i love it just the same.

    Hiya "E" b:pleased

    Carnica.. well I wanted to be a Veno, and every name I kept coming up with was taken and I was stumped. So, I thought about Foxes. Red fur, tail, carnivorous, and stuff like that.

    Carnica! And it wasn't taken, so that worked.

    All my characters were named with stories behind them or means to thier names. I used to RP ALOT and wrote books of history and life story for every character i created b:surrender

    Celestyna - i made her to be the lawfully good (at the time i didnt know about demon/sage) cleric who just helped all those in need. her name is a variant of celestial. when i found ecatomb i knew i wanted to have the silvermane and seraphim wings as well as the wingspan in white to complete the whole look, which is what she has

    Tellervo the one who always has people asking me if i am Finnish b:chuckle she is my veno, named after the Finnish goddess of animals, all her pets are named after various Finnish deities as well. I <3 mythology, and at the time was head over heels for bands like Nightwish, HIM and 69 eyes

    Vitalien is a name of a warden in wheel of time, he is married to my bf's veno which he named Cadsuane, of Aes Sedai fame. Even though Vitalien was not her warden, it was the closest i could get that was not taken and that i liked. for the record in the books he is the warden to Sarene Nemdahl

    Olletha is a psy, her name means water maiden in elvish
    Nulana my noob bm her name means Hope's daughter in elvish
    Xulbryn her name means crimson assasin in elvish guess what class she is? my archer was originally named this as well, i made her to be a drow but deleted her when the tideborns come out so i could use this name on a sin
    DiamondStar my nickname is Star, and all my old characters from a previous game had gemstone names so sorta a cross between the two.. my fail mage aka cat shop

    well innocentdemon was to long and satanic_architect was also to long, satanic_light was also to long. So i went with my 4th choice of evil_angel. all these names i have played on many other games. I like to be on top so i put a underscore in front. And yes i didnt google for these names to start with. But found out evil angel is a song, and also is a studio company that ummmm, produces ummmm, Adult movies.

    Was orginally Daggar in Vanguard as a bard. A server merge came and that name was taken and so was Talon which had now by far become my main over a caster. Taleon was the closest thing that was not taken, and has more or less stuck ever since thru a number of other games.
