Why are the numbered names gone?

what was the reason for their removal?
too hard to curse?
well jason 'recently' given young players a bigger character limit so,
saying "i curse Hope Slutky LXIX" wouldn't be that bad
one still would be able to curse by not specifying a name and just using "you"
too confusing?
if most people figure out the name of the person they want to curse, then they would see their number too
so, maybe not that either
something else maybe?

Answered your own question right there.

It was a big problem. It's not just the less characters that were the issue, but memory played a big factor too. If you quickly saw a person griefing that then proceeded to leave would you remember that they were called Hope Pie III and not Hope Pie II. Also it was not intuitive for newer players to have to add the numeral to curse too, which meant that the original Hope Pie was very likely to be cursed by accident, even when it was actually Hope Pie III that deserved that curse.

People were mistakenly cursed back in those days merely for having the same name as a griefer. Also having towns filled with people of the same name, made it annoying to communicate, because it was harder to call out to a specific person.

For the time being, I think we have enough content.

Re: Why are the numbered names gone?

that was actually very long ago

I was on complaining about and reported it

eve names were annoying cause people mistaked long lineages and locations, so it was misleading and ruined the expolaration too, you could been in same named same colour familyand you got nothing to do with their original camp

I didn't enjoy this bob cults either

the other problem was the log files where you could be "hope iv jones xviii" or 'hope iii pie' or hope pie ii' and the logs had no delimiters so the A B C D format was sometimes A B sometimes A C B sometimes A B D so it's also a mess with non unique names
