Hi folks. Just a little message for all to note that there are two worlds
with names that are very, very similar... En'Kara and Enkara... these are
two different worlds and two different world owners... One would have to
wonder why AW would allow this, but, I don't know anyone who can figure them
out anyway... But there is a problem in this naming..... Any thoughts? ..
This needs to be an open discussion..

Thanks,
Holistic

One of the owners can call AWI, pay a fixed fee, and have their world
name changed. I don't think AWI has any special code that determines if
two names are similar or not. If either of the world owners has a
trademark on their world name, then AWI can legally shut down the other
world with the similar name. If not, then the two owners will just have
to work it our or let it be.

Hi,


depends much on the idea and intention that the world owners had.

I do not think that it is really a problem, I had choosen a name
for my world too that had already been taken - Andras helped out
and found a matching _very_ similar name for it that matched the
idea (Labirint) and was still available.


As long as the world names are limited to only a few characters,
one sometimes has not so many choices. Same for citizen names
btw., several people are confused about Andras and me but I think
it is not really a problem, just funny sometimes *g


It would be a problem though if someone copies or tries to copy
the world contents, steals layout or models.


Maybe the owners of the worlds in question could even crosslink
their worlds and make them sister worlds :-)


Just my 2 cents ...

<laughing> come on Volker... you know as well as I do that that analogy
doesn't come into play in this instance....

Having spent time in both worlds looking around.. there are alot of similar
things about both.. However, any number of worlds have matching themes...

When I decided to get a world for selling my objects, the name I wanted
(Garnet) was already being used! (much to my dismay) so, after thinking
about it for a while, I just decided to name it Garnets. So sometimes you
see a world Garnet and a world Garnets. I haven't noticed too many people
who were confused by this, and even if they were .. the other world is just
a click away :) So... personally I'm glad they allow similar names otherwise
I would not have been able to use the name I wanted :)

[View Quote] Maybe someone could create a pig avatar with wings ...

I think there was a nice looking pig avatar at an event that OneSummer
helped to host in the past, but it didn't have wings. Maybe you could
use Wings3D to add some wings. :)
