Greetings, my friends!

Whenever you create a new account to play a game, the first step is to create a username. Sometimes, a name can be just simply a name. Sometimes, some folks have a deeper and stronger meaning behind why they choose to best respresemt themselves as a certain name.

On Alora, I see a variety of different names in the game, in the forums, and in the Discord. So I ask, what is the meaning behind your username?


For me, it all started in community college when I was taking an introductory philosophy course as a computer science major. I was learning about John Locke and René Descartes, and a concept was brought up about “moral truth.” This really opened my mind and changed my perspective on life. This got me thinking about a lot of things. Is there a true way of morality? Are morals subjective? Is there a way we’re supposed to go through in life that best affects the people around us in a positive way? Several more questions besides these came to mind, and then it hit me to use “Moral Truth” as my username. I wanted to have a name that has meaning and can be resonated with myself and others. Seeing that phrase as my name is a daily reminder for me to walk the path of goodness and positivity. Later on, I finally changed my major to philosophy, graduated from community college, and I’m currently pursuing philosophy as my major in university. I love learning about life’s different concepts/ideas from different perspectives, as well as learning how to construct/analyze arguments properly. Philosophy does require to have an open mind, and that’s what I’ve learned to do. :)

I was forced to change my name because it was too similar to ragragrag46’s name and apparently that’s against the rules?

Anyways, I picked this at random because I like raccoons and thought it was a funny sounding name

When i first created an account here i just had a longass flight from amsterdam - washington - los angeles. Me and a mate were staying at some shady ass motel bored out of our minds waiting for my gf to arrive in LA from phoenix.

First thing i saw in the room was the chromecast next to the television... hence the name.

My name was a 4 letter name that was available on RS (back around 2008), at the time just 'XazR' At one point I joined a clan on another server nK, and just kind of stuck with that as I've had old friends recognize the tag before.

Moved this thread to the proper section seeing as the overall goal/point of the thread doesn't directly have to do with Alora.

 

OT: I used to go by 'Xuf' Which I pronounce as 'Zuf' (not 'Egg-Zuf' as Lowkey believes), and I got that name when I was making an OSRS account and wanted to have a 3-letter name.

Other that that, Dante is my first name. I've been around for a while so I figured I'd be here on a first-name basis.

I think some people might wonder why my name is Spanks, but there is actually a reason behind why it is my username.

 

I played the MMO Final Fantasy XIV for 3 years and my username was "Spankie Butt" and everyone just called me Spanks... Not much behind it but as it has been what people have called on that, I didn't really know what to call myself when I started Alora.
