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. :)

[Chromecast]

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.

[Nk xazr]

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.

[Dante]

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.

[Dr Dee Are E]

Im a big fan of rap, and I first made this name as a gamertag on xbox. 

 

I also love seeing people reactions when they dont notice what my name means right away :')

[Spanks]

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.
