Overview
As new characters begin their journey on TDN, they will come across numerous characters. Fellow players will initially appear with a generic identifier for their name, and this identifier will be what is shown in the Player List as well. The identifier by default is "Stranger." Players can assign a name to Player characters that will be visible only to them (details below). This system is intended to provide the playerbase with a more immersive and sensible solution when first interacting with other characters, along with a simplistic option to ensure the player knows whether or not their character is aware of the individual's name IC. In addition, this system is intended to discourage metagaming in general.
Example of first meeting an unknown individual:
Customizing Your Identifier
Command: !personas
Identifiers are managed through the Personas Manager. This command will allow you to select two different identifiers for your default persona (as well as any other personas you may have). Select your default persona, and then select [Choose Identifiers]. This will allow you to choose Identifiers from a list:
Example of meeting an unknown individual who has updated their Default Name:
Naming Someone
Command: !name newnamehere
This command will trigger a mouse cursor as if you were casting a spell. Select the target individual to attach the name to. The individual will not be aware of how you are identifying them, and this name assignment will persist through resets.
Example of the Red-haired Stranger telling me their name is "Valen".
