Can you please force people to have unique names. Having 77 Black Beards isnt helpful. I appreciate its harder for people to get a good unique name, but it just gets people being more creative.
Funny I actually assumed it was unique...Imagine 2 of me. Seriously though its pertinent there can be only one.
Its not that hard, other games do server merges, where there are name conflicts, the first person to have that name keeps it, the next one becomes PlayerName1, PlayerName2 etc etc. Then give everyone a free rename and your done.
