I have this theory that people in FPS multiplayer games name themselves much more...casually than multipalyer RPG players. For instance you might see a guy named after an ice-cream bar in xbox live, but, like, in World of Warcraft you might see a guy named, like, PrinceofDeath or sumthing. This is obviously a generalization.

What do you think?

I'll be on my own side.

most people use the same name if it doesnt have references to the genre of game they prefer. if someones name is IPwnU(the most unoriginal FPS name i could come up with) then they most likely prefer FPS. but, me, and a lot of others,have a "neutral" name, if you will. Nedus, Organon1 and Kroenen do not have references to RPG stuff like princes and stuff like that, or violent stuff like killer, assassin, or anything like that. thats why some use the same name with all types of games.

look around the forums. you cant find one thread without someone with "Spartan", "Elite", or "Master Chief" in their name. you wont really find many RPG names around here, as this forum is based around a shooter.

Actually uh...Kroenen is like...a ninja/zombie/robot/assassin type...but it's not htat obvious I guess :P

it is? well, thats most likely not common knowledge. ok then, take Nedus for example. does that have any kind of reference to anything?

i will admit, i did get the name from Final Fantasy X. ill bet you wouldnt have known that had i not said anything

i usualy use the names Jugernaut or Gladius followed by a number in online games and forums(jugernaut is secondary if Gladius is taken already) but i do see your point i thingk its because most shooter fans dont devote alot of time and energy into the game(other than geting realy good) s it realy doeent matter to them.
