Erasing Creature Name

Post by Arrias »

I recently received a creature that was named. I don't like naming my creatures, unless its for breeding pairs so I can make sure I don't inbreed, but I thought I could just rename it Unnamed and that would satisfy my OCD. But every time I try to name it Unnamed the site is saying it can't complete that request. In reality I probably should have rejected the trade til I could confirm that I could just rename it Unnamed but I didn't think it would be a problem. Is there any way to reset the name or name it Unnamed? Any special ways or maybe someone I could reach out to? I'd be happy to pay a fee if need be.

Huh, you should be able to name the creature Unnamed with a capital first letter. :orly:

What is the exact message you're getting when you try to do it?

Maybe the capitalization was what was tripping it up. It kept saying "Nope." (LOL XD) But I just tried doing it with a capital U and that seemed to work. I thought I'd done that before. *facepalm*

I think you're prevented from renaming it 'unnamed' (without the capitalization) to avoid people getting scammed, since renaming costs money, someone could think they're getting an unnamed pet only to find out it was named 'unnamed' and now they have to fork out X amount to rename it (which isn't as much of an issue when it's like a stream creature where the rename fee is 2k, but when you have old donis and the like where it's like, 100k then it's a problem).

This means, once a creature is named, it can never be truly unnamed again (unless one sends it to Master Belmos for good)?

(corrected the autocorrection O.o )
