Duplicate Hero/Account Names

I have noticed that we now have a number of heroes belonging to different accounts, with the same hero names.  For example, we have something like 4 or 5 Graces, several Aryas and at least two FraggleRocks, Rileys and Cleos.   It's very confusing to keep people straight without going and looking at their hero screens, not to mention probably annoying for the players that claimed their names first.  It is almost like Teya has had an outbreak of identity theft, lol.

I propose that the game prevent the creation of duplicate hero names (telling the player that the name selected has already been chosen), at the very least (though I'd like to see duplicate account names prevented as well) so that people can't keep creating the same names over and over and stealing the identities of established heroes.  :-)

I would agree with this, even though i am 'guilty' and have two heros with the name of riley.  In my defense, i had planned on deleting the first riley and keeping the second, then decided to keep them both.  If this had been implemented before i created these two heros, i might not feel like such a tool now, having two heros with the same name lol.  But who's to say someone new doesn't come around and decide to use the name 'Arrividerci'?  No no no noooooooooo.....

That's the point of the naming system. There are crests and @numbers in cases when you need to differentiate two people explicitly. In other cases it prevents from good names being used up and everyone's name starts to look like

I get the point of the system and the crests, but with at least 1000 players now,  I don't exactly have the crests for each duplicate name memorized, lol.  And, some new players don't realize you have to actually open the hero page to see the Gen Tag before assuming the duplicates belong to the same gen tag.

Bers lol then make the cats stronger for us please.   How hard would it be to just have a box show up that says -Name already in Use?.      There are all kinds of names that can be used if people use their imaginations .   But if you think the only way is to take them out then you need to make our siege weapons stronger hahahahaha.

if the person is leaderism then yes, siege them to death! but lets face it, collectivism has too much protection lol just hope you can make them delete.

It was a hint that naming system won't be changed, not a call to action.

Oups, too late ! Cats and trebs already sent :)

ROFLMAO!

Making the hero names just a little longer would allow a WIDE variety of names w/o ending up w/ unintelligible random strings.
