What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
The title doesn't really explain it well, but basically, in addition to or potentially as part of the edit name function in either the character tab (or menu), let us pop up a little menu where we can just save/load character names to/from it. This is a small QoL request to facilitate ease of changing names for same-faction characters.Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
This is a soft re-opening of an idea that has been presented before in January, by Zen; In their suggestion about creating multiple characters in the same faction. This simply explores an alternative solution to a problem, as staff said:Firm disagree, but eh. If you won't do that, will you do this?
There is also an active suggestion from Archangel about changing an explicitly written rule to fit how the server operates in terms of naming conventions. While this does slightly intersect in that regard, everyone is still subject to naming convention rules regardless of whether they're able to just swap to them on hand or not.
Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
- Facilitating RP diversity/immersion by making it easier to retain and swap between character names on the same faction
- Token second positive that is definitely real please believe me
- Nerfs 073
Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
-
Honestly, I feel you on this one. Fuck doing any kind of UI implementation, especially on a heavily modded source game hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. If it's too much work for what is ultimately a minor inconvenience, then fine.

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
I know this is crazy to some people, but some people do actually treat their characters on different jobs as like, actual different characters in RP. Shocking. And this is, according to Ventz...? Like, the multiple characters in one faction, that's apparently a planned thing for Site-9 according to the teaser thread, even though it was dismissed as "not needed" for Site-65. So why can't we have it at least done this way instead for now?Potential Arguments Against Implementing This Suggestion & Rebuttals To Them:
-
You would still be subject to the name change cooldown. I'm not suggesting that this bypass that. That's not relevant to this.
-
Tuck it away a little, then. Idk.
