Any mention on naming your characters ingame ? I mean are we going to have 15 heroes named captain atom or will it be more like COH telling you that name is already in use ?

Naming your character
CoT will be using unique global names with non-unique character names, similar to the system in place on Champions Online.

This means there technically could be 15 "Captain Atom" characters running around, but they'd all be unique based on their player's global name (i.e. Captain Atom @ ABC, Captain Atom @ 123, Captain Atom @ JohnSmith, etc.). In chat you'll be able to choose to see only character names or you could see the entire local @ global names.
Sometimes people argue that this global name system is bad precisely because you could end up seeing a bunch of duplicate names. While that's statistically possible in practice it doesn't really happen. Case in point I played Champs Online for around 6 months and I never really saw any duplicately named characters online at the same time/place. I'm sure other people could tell you they occasionally ran into identical names - it's just not something that ever noticeably happened to me.
Basically the benefits of the global name scheme will far outweigh the potential problems.

Plus it might cost Allot Less to change your Character name, too. ;D
Heck I just be happy not having to see XXSuperdudeXX or WlLD side, basically anything someone did to make sure they have a variation of the name they want.

Personal rules of good roleplay
1.) Nothing goes as planned.
2.) If it goes as planned it's not good RP
I agree....that poor excuse for L337 speak used to irk me. Would much rather just see somebody get the name they want....even if it is Wraiven or Solarverse (My two main names I have used since the beginning of CoH). As long as my Global name is not shared, I honestly wouldn't care.

Thanks I guess that's a good way but with so many players on one server I figured they have it the same as COH it was nice having that name secured for yourself but that's cool with me its all in the fun of playing the game
I honestly would not mind either way. I wouldn't complain if I had my own name all to myself. I would only be butt hurt if somebody else got my names before I could, heh.

Well, this should cut down on xxxXXXWolffferineXXXxxx's, anyway.

The very existence of the taunting tank irritates, for it requires idiotic AI that obeys the taunt.
lol, a few years ago, all the Belf's in wow called Legolas, but in weird ways.

Indeed, for some reason, Legolas and Drizzt was sad, but naming your dwarf after Gimli was acceptable.
