Character names

This article has not yet been officially approved. Don't pick a character name that will offend people. When in doubt, pick a different name.

Don't reuse an existing PC name or anything too similar to it. Use +dir to get a list of PC names in use, but be warned that +dir only shows one name of each PC at a time, so other names may also be unavailable (if in doubt, ask). This is simply to avoid confusion.

Pick at least one alias that is relatively easy to type. It's fine for your character to use the name "Lord High Knick-settler Q'hozzifozen" if you really want, but adding an abbreviation or nickname as an alias will make people much happier with you. (In fact, "Lord High Knick-settler Q'hozzifozen" is too long a name for the MUSH code to handle, anyway.)
