Names by Am-say

Okay, they can serve any number of purposes. Well, only one, really. To give people some thing to call you! (other than **** face, of course.) But they can mean anything. Like my own, Sam of Rhs. My name, Sam, and...Well, something to allow me to use my name. (There's already a Sam on Runescape, but no Sam of Rhs. Hence, I used Sam of Rhs.)
 * But there's also another type of meaning to names. Names such as 712g35daygilab ( I just made a name up, this is not an actual player) can be used by spammers or other ne'er do wells to increased the chance of you: a) Putting in the wrong name. b) Deciding not to bother with reporting them, or c) (not sure if this is actually possible) to make it where you can't report them!
 * Say you mess up repeatedly when trying to type in their name. If they're in a crowded place (i.e. GE or Lumbridge,) their name could be covered up by the onrush of other people talking. But there would be other people trying to report them, so... who knows.

Anyways, names can be funny (Doucher4000, for example), serious (I can't think of an example) , stupid (my own name, Sam of Rhs) or have another meaning (Bruxacosmica's is a good example.) As for NPC's names... well, I think you might understand most of those. (Bob, Ghost, ect.) And monsters... well those too. How hard can it be to understand Goblin or King Black Dragon?


 * Anyways, names are an important part of the RuneScape experience, and it's an important choice to decide what you're going to be called for the rest of your RuneScape life. It can (possibly) change many of the social aspects of the game, not to mention the part where you log on. (The longer it is, the more times you'll fail at spelling it.)


 * Now that I've finished my tirade, let's hope you aren't dead from the horribleness of this article.
