Creative Nicknames

[Supernqtural]

Idea: So, my idea is that a new feature be added to Creative. It is the addition of nick names. These nick names will be shown in chat and can be different colours. For example: MintWinchester: "Hello" Of course this is 100% unneccicary, but would be very interesting to have and give more character to the server. The way it would work is you would do the command /nick (name) Ex: /Nick &7Mint&5Winchester These names can not exceed 16 characters, and can not be bold. This would be a lot of fun to have! Also with the nicknames, a fun feature to add would be when you hover over the persons NickName in chat it will show you their Real IGN, Number Of Hours on the server, Rank, and If they belong to a club for example Me. MintWinchester *Hovers Over Name* IGN: MintTea_ Hours: 360 Rank: E+ Club: N/A. This would be fun to have, and help people know who everyone is. This once again in no way is needed, but would just be very fun and unique to have.

Cost: The cost could be either sperate, where you can buy them for around 5 dollars and you can infanitly change them, or they are obtained with the purchase of a rank. If they are purchased by buying a rank as a perk, only certain colours can be unlocked depending on the rank. So like VIP would get: Dark Gray, Black, White, Light Gray, Light Blue. VIP+: Cyan, Dark Blue, Blue, Dark Green, Green. Elite: Yellow, Red, Dark Red, Light Purple. Elite+: All Colours. Note: Only colours can be used in nick names, no underlines, etc. This would make is so the ranks get more perks, which they so badly need. If not with the ranks then: You could buy a Single Colours or all The colours? I think it should be all the Colours for $5.00USD in with the Nick Name Perk. Tell me though rather 1 colours per perchase or all at once. Also another idea, when you buy the nick name you get a random colour and you have to buy more from the shop individually. This also brings more money to the server, which it deserves!

Clarification: The nickname can be turned off and on with /nick off /nick on. The nick can be for roleplays, just hanging with friends, or just to express your individuality! Note: Your nick will not be seen in Role Play Chats, Party Chats, or Club Chats. Your rank would still be seen beside your nick just like your regular IGN. This is a Creative Only perk. This could also be expanded to the lobby and murder, but I feel that is a bit too much. Anyways! So there is still a lot that can be thought over about and fun ideas! Please give me feed back and ask as many questions as you like!

Pros:
- Easy commands and easy to implement!
- Brings the server more money!
- Makes the chat more pretty and unique!
- More perks for the devalued ranks!

Cons:
- Could flood chat with colour.
- Could be hard to implement, which I think it isn't.
- Confusion.
- Abuse of the commands making innapropriate names, and inpersinating staff members.
*The abuse of the commands can easily be dealt with, and honestly who is really going to abuse something they have to buy? I know it happens, but it would be easier to punish the few rude players than not release this due to not wanting players to abuse this..*

I hope you all loved my idea! Please feel free to ask me any questions and give advice!! Hope you all have a great day/night!

I honestly love the way you formatted this thread, it gives both pros and cons, but I feel as if the cons outweigh the pros. Inappropriate nicknames, staff impersonation, impersonation in general will be likely to happen. It also seems difficult to tell who is who.

Nicknames overall just seem unprofessional for a server to be completely honest. I don’t know how to elaborate on this, but I just don’t like the idea of nicknames.

I don't think nicknames would be the best idea. Like you and Aminuh pointed out, there would be so much confusion and impersonation is something we don't want. Confusion is probably the biggest reason why I'm against this. The colors would be hard on the eyes and evidence for offenses would be harder to collect, specifically, chat. Ranks also are something needed to be seen, which I am not sure are visible so it'd be nice if you could clarify whether or not ranks are seen before the nickname. I too enjoy that you clearly made a list of pros and cons while adding clarification. People should include that in suggestions more, to be honest. You did say we could just punish the rulebreakers. I'd like to say that us staff aren't always on and some players either can't or don't want to report the players breaking rules. A player could make their nickname inappropriate during one of these times and we wouldn't have a clue. -1

Going to agree with the above statements.
The cons outweigh the pros By a good bit, and could cause chaos if this were to be implemented.

Lovely format for the the thread, though.

How about it makes it so that you can highlight part of your ign in a colour like purple? This would be annoying for people who's name their friends call them isn't part of their name, though.

Uh, I'm staying neutral at the moment

Thank you for your feed back! Also you would be able to see the rank still next to the nick name

As stated above, there are more pros than cons in this situation. Nicknames are a cool concept, but wouldn't fit Party Zone very well, as we are a family friendly server and this would be an easy way for players to break rules (Bypass filters etc). In addition to this, players could easily impersonate other players and staff members. Even with the fact the we can punish players - this could cause more players to break the rules, giving staff more things to sort out whilst being online. Also there's the fact that players could repetitively change their nickname to something inappropriate, as they may feel that they can easily get away with it, when there aren't any staff members online. We also like having the clean chat (Colour free), so when a staff member needs to give an important message, or calm down a situation messages stand out more - I know that nicknames won't change this completely, but this wouldn't be very appealing either.

I'd agree with what Aminuh has said above. It makes PZ look really unprofessional. Also I don't really see why you'd want to change your nickname in the first place xd I understand for RPs but there's already a command for that.
