Can't be used for enforcing one char per player, players would just make forum alts.

It would probably prevent nick thefts, but it wouldn't help against using similiar nicks like T0mowolf Tomo.Wolf and TomowoIf similiar things at all... I think it would be too much work for such little outcome.

All what you said is correct, but if there were certain character slots reserved for each player(forum account), then the owner could show to others :"Here, these char names represent me and you shouldnt be dealing with other, similar names".
Also it might remove some degree of needless anonymity.

I'd like it just so people would get to know each other instead of hiding behind anonymous alts. For such a small community we barely know each other.

It's hard to get to know people in game.. I agree...

However the few dedicated people this game does have, I think it's fair to say we get our personalities across in this harsh forum.

But I agree, I feel like in this game where our reputation is EVERYTHING, we should be trying to make a fool-proof way to give ourselves identities without fearing someone is wearing a mask.

What do you mean by that?
It isn't obvious enough ?

Forum alts, as others have mentioned.

And?
Still your nickname with Michaelh139 will be only for that forum account, problem solved, before it started (Simple : If you got already forum account, it will ask you if you want same nickname in game or not.)

Or perhaps the only way to create a character would be through the forum... when you make an account you also make a character, then it gets put in the game. Make the stats hidden to other players if chosen.

As good of intentions it may be, there will be those who will abuse it.
It wouldn't be worth it.

How could less anonymity be more abusable?

In my opinion, the more of a hassle people have to go through to get their characters up and running, the better..

The MORE attached we can get people to their in game characters, the better.
