We had the ign wipe, so...

Why do I see so many bad igns. U don't know how much it physically pains me to see names that contain "Azn" or cringe-worthy faces like "x3" And then of course u have the names that are completely unoriginal attempts at being cute, or desperately adding suffixes like "ingly" and "icity" 2 real words. Nexon blessed us w/ that name wipe and free name changes, please take advantage of it!! Some of y'all rly NEED IT!!!!

some igns are sentimental to some people so they decide to keep it

Cringe worthy igns are the way to go for me. The crappier the name, the happier it is to game.

Let's be honest. It's worse when you get an ign like Special and someone uses SpeciaI.
I long for the day that nexon suddenly makes capital I's actually look like an I and it ruins thousands of igns.

Those are actually the more ok-er.. ones. The ones I'm most annoyed with seeing are the ones like naruto37463753753. Or like xcutesweetieaznblahblahherp or something. Like are you seriously content with seeing that kind of name everytime you log? Gives me eye cancer. @_@

Was reminded of this when I saw a character named x3AznBoi today.

They only gave out 1 free name change though....not everyone used it on their mains.

The type of names you mentioned are pretty awful though. I honestly can't believe some people still do the "Azn" thing.

most of them are gone and now they will forever rot in some dudes character screen
like seriously just give them away if you aren't going to use them

Because certain people sniped most of the good igns, and they're now in the possession of level 1 inactive mules.

the only people who'd defend igns with suffixes like -ingly are people who have those type of igns lel

I like seeing variations of igns, I personally don't like numbers but if it means something to you who cares. I actually disliked all the dumb words people named their characters during the purge.

I think old igns with "azn" or "x3" or some variation of that from back in the day hold meaning and nostalgia one way or another. I mean if you stuck with it that long, it holds value to the person. I just hate when people have a dumb worded ign tries to call someone else out who has an ign that don't like out on it when it's perfectly acceptable.

ie. BottledWater/ToiletSeat hates on x3Assassin/AznNinja for ign related issues.

Nice joke.

@modsaredumb: An ign that bad has become a classic ign that is so bad it's actually good.

My basil id ends with an -ingly. Don't think it's that bad though.
My bucc's name is Verdancy and my TB's name is Salties. Look @ my other igns too, I don't think they are that bad.
Don't judge someone's creativity based off of 1 ign.

@wall: Ok but people can still try 2 be creative/original rather than defaulting to "AznMochix3" as their latest move away from God
