Sounds like Age of Chivalry owns. And if so, that's completely true.

I'm surprised there was no mention of "Ninja" "Shadow" "Dragon" or "Killer" in your OP.

Although to be honest I don't have much room to mock the gamertags of others... Flanlord may be nice for originality in that it has yet to ever be taken in any game I've played, but it doesn't really get much for creativity... or making sense.

I wanted to swap to Fractalligator after a few Day[9] dailies, but there are just too many websites and games to change my tag on now. I am stuck.

I always liked the WoW names where it would be very spec/build specific, and a couple weeks after making that character they weren't playing that spec/build. (Shadow priest named Bubblznthings, the Holy paladin named Retforlife etc.)

I think xXShadowXNinjaXx was pretty up there though... I was more shocked to actually see it outside of a joke about gamers than anything... looking back I wonder if it was a joke.



There were some really cool WoW nick names though, such as Benafflock, Oprahwindfury, Harrrydotter or a tauren called Hasselhoof.

What is so special about 420?

MyLittlePwny

This is actually kinda funny when you see it for the first time.


How about pointing out some really tryhard or bad progamer names?
As a german I am kinda ashamed to have out players named DarKFoRcE or NarutO. I can understand this kinda thing if you are korean, but as an english speaker? Really?

almost always at the end of usernames. Dumb lines basically because their names don't look cool enough.

I see "take notes" sometimes too, its just sad lol.

Names I remember from WoW (some even were my RL friends):

GagsTheMan
JonnyTwoHats
MageHunter (was a rogue in vanilla I pvp'ed with)
OldGreg
ManKiller
InFlame
Arthas ... dayamn... most tryhard name in WoW, I guess
((one kindda funny though, was my troll friend going into blizz's rules where it clearly says, you cannot call yourself stuff like Neo2000 ... Then he names his character Neototusind (Neo2000 spelled out in danish... Every time he needed a name he went into the threat about banned named. Also made PovlPimp, Nuclearatron and simular names))

I never really loved those names, where you just smack words (or even sentences) together to form a name... And yeah, Killer, Shadow, Dark, Satan, Ninja and random xXx shouldn't even be allowed to have in your nick...

As mentioned earlier in the thread...

IMMVP and TheBestfOu are pretty damn tryhards

DragonSlayer99 is a classic
I shall be telling this with a sigh somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.
