what is up with people's obsession over IGN

never really understood it. Especially names like kinesis, nightmare, or ect. they show absolutely ZERO originality. It's like the community is a bunch of 10 year olds. i've played a lot of mmo's and this is the only one that obsessed over IGN's.

@ichii: what's sad is people pay 200-300 bucks for a one word name.

@lemasnatorme: A Kinesis with an IGN of Kinesis is like having a Pug named "Dog"... like the TC said, it's boring, unoriginal and pretty lame.

Some people want certain IGNs that mean something to them. I'd personally want Nightmare because I love Soul Calibur, and I wanted and got Garou because werewolves are radical
IGNs like "Sleds", "Sees" or even "Kinesis" are just attempts at showing off, which doesn't really work anymore since everyone has cool 1-word IGNs now.

@ichii: This is why as a henehoe, the lack of perma nx in Reboot makes me sad.

In a game where people care more about looks than actual gear, it's not hard to imagine that any opportunity to show off is going to be obsessed over.

cause its cool to have a 1 word ign cause they're rare?

"xxswagXDDD42069" isnt exactly a cool ign compared to "Kinesis"
