Hey,


I tried to Give titles to our members but the following ones didn't work said Not allowed.


Supreme Chancellor

Mayor

General

Major


ANY Military Rank.


But "Smelly Guy" does work to my surpise.


Is this a bug or just how it is?

It's been like this for who-knows-how-long.

Try abbreviating, for Lieutenant, use Lt., for Captain, use Capt.

The filter for naming ranks is most likely the same filter used to name your character. That's one reason why you can use those types of title or you'd see people running around with it in their names all the time.


I do think however, it should have its own filter since a lot of people use military ranks for their structures, especially since those titles are not displayed anywhere except on the guild terminal and to the person it's on. It's one of our requests and hopefully they'll be able to work on it some in the future.

what does supid mean?


and you cannot have military ranks because these are reserved for the major factions, of course - if you want a rank, do the time and get one in your chosen faction!

I agree they should get rid of the filters. And Jinka, there is no such thing as the rank of mayor or grand chancellor in the Empire obviously. Thus, you cant actually get it. Even if they did exist they arn't even displayable. So I think allowing people to add whatever guild ranks they wantis a good idea to distinguish people in the guild. Whenever I make ranks you can maybe abreviate or somthing for now.

Wich is why, back when I had a active PA..our titles were based on foreign speak army ranks heh.


Hauptmann

Feldwebel

Soldat

Pionieren

Schutze

Gefreiter

Oberlieutnant

Oberfeldwebel

Oberst


etc.


Why they were so cheap to have 1 "filter" for all names I don't know....

But IMHO PA names and PA ranks should have had their own filter far from the "character name" filter....
