I recently have come back to the game have made 2 new characters. They are both attractive and female (more attractive than the alt I am posting with). My first had 3 names, I wanted to test it and made it distinguished, it was a good name. I found conversations with people to be hesitant, if that's quantifiable. I was tested often, questions, rigorous API checks. Then I made a character with 1 name (traditionally a very good name) conversations were quick and almost respectful. I was barely tested and received no API checks at my various 'employers'.

So I'm asking, do you notice any variance in how you act with new people depending on their name?

e: I mean 1 name as in 'herpie' rather than 'herpie derp mhcderp'

Not names, just people. People are different, some are super paranoid (especially on EVE) and some are more relaxed.

Besides, I have one name and nobody trusts me Lol

I play EVE every day! Follow me at http://www.twitch.tv/matthershman

People apparently trust The Mittani as a third-party broker. So, you may be on to something.

Confirming that Tippia is trustworthy in any and all EVE-related ventures.


... Just not as trustworthy as Chribba Cool

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

Possibly a fluke, though, I mean...people are stupid.
