I hate this one... now when someone is killing me constantly, I can write his name to Colorizer and recognize him next time, which is corresponding with real life too: you remember the bitches forever... with this feature all PKers become nameless and unrecognizeable, which is bad, I think... it will cause more paranoic thinking through-out the wasteland in the way "better shoot, than been shot"
The second reason is, that I am trader, and people can recognize by my name... with this feature I will be nameless wastelander for everyone....
and as already mentioned, many players are using voice chats or irc, so this feature will be useful only for hardcore RPers, but still its imho pretty shitty one...
Janusz2238:
The character (Bob from Klamath) is emulated in the mind of the player(Jean from France, who play fonline). So player know names of strangers, but character who is emulated in his mind, dont know stranger name.
Everyone has a characteristic appearance. Unfortunately, in fonline everyone looks identical. The name of character is like md5, or sha-one. The name is information for player, no for character(Bob from Klamath) who is played by the actor(Jean from France).

Yes, in real life we have name colorizer, that is why people never make mistakes when picking people out of a line up. Anyway part of the problem, and I suppose it is a valid one, is you cannot decipher if someone is an enemy (because you cannot know the name). My response to that is you will die/get attacked regardless if you know this guy is a PKer or not, and if you know for a fact that he isn't it is most likely that you have met him before and introduced each other. Also being constantly killed is a separate issue in it of itself.

This is already a common occurrence in the game, or the alternative is to run away.

What exactly does IRC and voice chat have to do with this? As a means of recognition? I don't understand.

In the beginning, yes, but as I said in my OP, you can introduce yourself. I think this is rather realistic as a trader to gain reputation of the wastelanders.

Yes, this is why it is a unique string, and over time it changes (I mean you don't remember all facial features if a man ran by you, and over time you forget). I suppose the mechanics (such as how often a string changes and under what conditions) need to be further polished, but I am just bringing out the general idea and not the specifics ( I see no point of doing this, if it cannot be implemented or the Devs are against this idea).
In addition, this mechanic rewards players who play one character as they would be better familiar with the wastelanders, and behind each name will be some sort of story. Where as someone who keeps creating alts will not be able to tell who is who, or at least would need to be constantly reintroduced to the same people.

it would make roleplaying in towns a lot more fun, I was actually thinking about this same idea last night lol if only we could make it work
