Personally, I don't think it should matter. A person's username is their own, and I think it should be left up to them.
For instance, I've always been called Angus, even before we started the RP site. Decoii's always been called Decoii, Ventia is Ventia, Orfeo is Orfeo, just like we've always called you Jewel. If someone starts talking in 3rd person outside of RP, I think it should be obvious that they're talking about their characters. Then, many of us have first characters that have the same name as the person. XD
Personally? I prefer that everyone has their username be the same as their first character- but this doesn't mean that it's the same as their real life name. After all, when they have a username the same as their first character, it makes tagging them easier. Like with Ariella and Cameron, do you really want usernames like that? Difficult to remember and hard to tag. Then, at this rate, no one can change their username. They can simply change their screen name, which doesn't change how things are tagged and just might cause confusion in the long run. lol

Good point Angus. And actually, I think I saw you call me Melissa a few times, even after I changed my wolf name to Ariella. Because Melissa is my real name but people only really know me as Ariella.
At least it's somewhat known. But anyway, I agree with Jewel/Mickey. It does get confusing. Especially since your character and your real name are the same.

But should we really have people change their usernames over it? In fact, I don't really think it's so much the username that's the issue, it's more of the character name being the same as the person's name. Which we literally cannot control that. People name their characters as they please. I don't think we should dictate that or their usernames. All that I ask is that people don't freaking have long ass usernames but instead, a simple name for it. We're a small site, no need for long usernames.

Which I apparently still didn't get when I joined NDP. I've tried seeing if I can change my username but I'd have to change the account completely to do that. Meaning delete it and such.

Which is exactly why I'm not liking the idea of changing usernames. As I stated above, you can change your screen name. I can change my name to say anything I want- but my username and the name that is used to tag me would still be admin. Simply because that's my username and it won't change.

Exactly. Now, there's something that's been confusing me. Under your status, it say s Pack Status. I don't understand that. Why don't we all have that?

It's a new information thing on your profiles. It's to record who's where based on your characters. I have characters that are in the New Dawn, Nightstar, and Rogue, as well as characters that don't fit under those categories- which is my exception 'temp,' Red.
