[Blackice]

No, but driving home and having to deal with Blackice does.

[Toralyn]

No, but driving home and having to deal with Blackice does.

oooooooh. Fair enough.

[Mysterio]

Riceboi - I like eating rice and I'm a guy so yeah, Riceboi. The real definition of "Riceboi" is an asian who likes to soup up their import cars.

and you live in Richmond, BC?

lol original name indeed!

you must be the asian riceboy whos not wearing a hat, lol


not really griping you, was just amusing I am sure you would agree lol.



Recent census showed that only 50% of households have english as their first language in that city.

Although to the common suburbanite that % is closer to 10% in Richmond, as opposed to 50 lol.

[Indalecia]

Indalecia was a character that I had been using for a decade in D&D before FFXI. I came up with it myself so was kinda surprised when wiki had stuff on it. Still, its nice to never see a name remotely resembling it. :D

Edit: spelling

[miokomioko]

it was easy to remember :)

I used to know Jason Acuna... :/ He was a hometown hero working at a local skate shop. He used to hook me up with free shit from Sonic (the skateboard company, not fast food), then he went all Jackass rockstar status and moved to Long Beach.

[bercus]

Bercus.
Picked that name arround 2000 my first time cause of Phantasy Star Online.
I was bored with one of my best RL friends Berin so we rushed into the city and bought that fucking game.
We used to play all Final Fantasy games or other great games (Secret of Mana on PSX 2 players ectect ) together…
We put the CD into the Dreamcast and created a Hucast… then we came to Name… NAME… hmm…
We had no idea, and since we wanted to play the game together (he didnt like the game anymore after 3 days >.<)
we thought about just Combining our names. Berin and Markus. Marin did sound gay… Berkus did sound ok,
but looked gay…So I changed the "k" into a "c" and Bercus is since then my name in PSO,PSO2,PSO3,PSU and FF XI
And of course in all Forums since then and Email adress, MSN, ICQ ectect.
FF XI I started to get me nicknames like "Beer" cause of that >.<

50%? that's a lot less than I expected.
I guessed around 80-90% when I visit my mom's acquintance there

[blud]

orignally out4blud, stole it from this really good age of empires: rise of rome player back in the days of microsoft zone.
just shortened it, and have used it every game ive played online since.

[BIGSTIC]

Actually got this nickname from a pickup i used to drive. IT was lifted 16" and was a manual transmission. DOT wouldn't let me ad the "k" to the end of it for my License Plate. Been my I-net name since '96.

[ahjir_shiva]

ahjir... my friends used to call me jir (jesse >> jirsey >> jir) ... and in Taiwan nicknames are usually started with "ah" or "xiao"... therefore they started calling me ahjir ... i use it for everything... warcraft, guildwar, ff, aim, msn...etc. o and i think jir means penis in cantonese lol...

[Setats]

Setats is States backwards.

[Miltani]

o and i think jir means penis in cantonese lol...

sad to tell you it's true, but the spelling is not that just sound similar to it

[Kaiseran]

Kaiseran
Ka-eye-sir-aun (This is how I pronounce it. I know everyone else wants to say Kaiser like the roll....Eghck...)

Kaiser, I've been using it ever since Breath of Fire. It was a type of dragon you can transform into. One of the more powerful ones. In BoFIII is was THE form.
I been playing since day 1 (Was in beta), and I Kaiser was taken on Cactaur and Siren. Never found out who took it on Cactaur, but on Siren, some JP Galka mule has the name. I just threw the -an on it. No special reason. But Kaiser holds so much power.

Manau
Mana-U

My taru mule/crafter. Was my alt when I started and I was thinking LOLELVAANBLMNOTHANKS. Nothing fancy. Basically Mana U. The U stands for utilizer.

[Rentwokay]

Rentwokay

Actually, it's "Ren Two Kay," but seeing as the character creator doesn't let you put extra capitals or spaces in your name, they had to fuse it all together.

Ren Two Kay is actually Ren 2K, which is short for Renaissance 2K. I went through a period where I was mixing music, and that was the name I used. It was inspired by a particular incarnation of a comic book character I developed when I was much younger. Seeing as the Renaissance was the rebirth of the arts and sciences in the Middle Ages, I found it appropriate for someone who makes music.

I've used Renaissance 2K, Ren, or R2K as my alias for everything since.

The problem with FFXI is that the "no spaces" policy makes everyone see Ren Two Kay as Rent Wo Kay. In the near three years I've played this game, I can count on one hand the number of people who called me Ren from the very start. Even my mother looked over my shoulder and called it Rent at one point.

Of course, this led to people eventually calling me Rent A Wookiee. Say my name wrong, and I'll rip your arms off.
