I have never been on PSO (online mode) i was just wondering what happens to your characters name? becuase if i just called character 'john' (example) surely somone in the world is also got a char called john, do you choose a new char name when going online with a character created in offline mode? :S thanks~Stephen (CrImSoNwOlF)
Unlike other MMORPG's, PSO does not give anyone the exclusive right to a specific username. So it is possible to see many different characters with the same name. Since PSO's messaging system is all done through exchanging guild cards, there is no confusion when you PM somebody even if other people have the same username. It's kinda dissappointing to see people with the same name, but since the game saves aren't stored in the online server, there is no way to really prevent it.
kk thanks alot
I've been successful with most of my names not having been used.
The name is registered to a Guild Card, and sicne you cant have the same Guild card, it doesnt matter what the name of your character is.
