I always assumed it was just an Alice in Wonderland reference.


do people in CCP HQ call each other buy their CCP names when seeing each other in the corridors and lunch hall etc?

Mikael Izra'il is the villain from a novel I was writing (please don't relate my writing skills on the forum with that, when I write I do so in my native language).

Because of my studies I don't have time to keep writing for now, but I wanted the character to live on somewhere.

Thread moved from GD to OOPE - ISD Type40. Big smile

And on topic I ♥ Dr Who, and for those who don't know, Type40 is the model number of the TARDIS (time travelling spaceship) that The Doctor travels in.

We mostly call each other by our real names, except in the rare circumstances we know someone's dev name but can't remember their real name. Or I suppose when we need to differentiate between two people with similar names (such as CCP Dolan and I, which is really annoying since we sit right next to each other).

But the red colored hair looked bad, so I went blue.
I think the name Ginger Barbarella sounds better. Also, you could make your hair a sandy blonde maybe, since that's the actual color of ginger (the spice).

My name is based on the initial idea (before I had played EVE) that I was going to be a miner. I initially tried to fit The Reaver of Darkness (my usual internet name) but it didn't fit, so I pulled one of my WoW character names in for a last name. I picked Glitterstim cause it was a minerly thing to do (for those of you who catch the reference).

Yes, I played WoW and I'm not ashamed because I quit when Cataclysm came out. So :P

I spend hrs in the creation screen of games. I do not see my characters as an extension of myself. Each one is created with their own personality and I am more or less a...spiritual advisor that is along for the ride. I let them tell me their story.

I come up with a word or phrase that describes their personality. I then use the traslator to come up with the actual name.

Jesuis was to be built around a stealth type of character. For him, I choose the French translation to...

I am hide and seek.

It does happen to be awesome, shouting your real life name and watching you both turn around like "wat?"

Lol

I chose Xenuria because Lord Xenu was already taken.

I am afraid if I say any more than that my post will get redacted and I will get in trouble.
