I don't know if it's been mentioned before, probably has but, do you think that's something you will change in future? people being able to have the same names? It can be confusing at times, especially when it comes to "Guests" but i don't really see a benefit too it, and alot of time players will copy people's names and cause hassle in chat.

All though to be honest for me it's more to do with multiple guests, sometimes there can be 4 or 5 bordering and it isn't always simple to distinguish who is who by size of force.

It's not a huge deal, i just don't see why it' couldn't be changed in future maybe.

ADDED: As an example, the other evening i bordered 4 Guests, name spelt exactly the same, 2 were in top 10. 2 were not. I couldn't tell which was which from the top 2. Which In my honest opinion, gives them an advantage, be it a minor one at best.

If we forced names to be unique, people could steal your name before you join. I don't want the splash screen to have errors (raises barrier to entry) and I also don't like appending random numbers (non-aesthetic). Don't see a better solution here.

Also, Guest is wholesome in my view.

You'd see the difference if everyone used the same name, it would take away from the fun in the game. It will become a bigger problem in future.

Everything else aside, it gives an advantage. Like i might as well go use the #1 guy's name at the time, and the chances of me being attacked are reduced significantly.

Guest's are awesome, but not being able to distinguish between who is even writing in the chat because it could be any of the 5 guest's who border you..

I guess it's only problematic from a tactical player point of view.

Thanks for the reply anyway.
