I think it's too late for this...

Elephant is a good enough description, so why call it anything else. I never understood why any clothes had to be described either.
As to how people know the names... it's the same way they've potentially learned everything in the Wiki by the time they're 20.
It's a pity their knowledge of geography failed recently.

I like dinamic nameing because lets face it, I've seen dessert tortises in the mountains and plains and hills and well just about anywhere but a dessert. In a role playing context, I've seen them called turtles, crawling rocks, etc. b/c they don't make since to call dessert tortises anywhere but in the dessert, and for that matter why not call a boar a pig or a gorilla a monkey (until you see how much they hurt and start calling them King-Kongs :lol:

) This would also give the game the feel of having more animal species than it really does. In one reagon you may find an dog, and another character in another region you'd find a wolf, same animal in code, differnet in RP. It would save the programmers time in the long run trying to keep up with player's requests for new animals.

It'd be great.... i mean, you'd go to another location, and shoot at a fluffball, and say "wow, i got me a fluffball!" others'd say "ah, here we call that'un a flossmaker!" and you'd go "wow! i'm going to collect all the names i can!"

No.. fno.. it's bad enough that vehicles and buildings will be "unnamed object"s... I do not care to have 500 names floating around for one animal... If you want to wonder or give names to animals then rp it. No need to make it technical.

Now buildings and vehicles is going too far, i agree...

Animals are too trivial to bother with like that... I still think it should be left to rp...

Come on... you can't RP it unless you can point to it...

Man in twenties says: "Oooh look at the snarg monster *points at the wolf*"

That is just stoopit!

If you punch an animal at 0% power, you will "poke" it. Close enough to pointing for most purposes.

No no no no no.

I already RP it just fine. I can either poke at it or emote *points at the elephant* and then everyone knows what animal my character is referring to. The awe, wonder, and confusion comes in the text that I post.

Poking Animals? Bestiality? Not Good...

wtf ever... I've seen newspawns rping, "Hey, what's that weird grey animal? I've never seen one of those before. *points to an elephant of no insignificant size*" You don't need a button to rp it. There's not a 'bend over and shake bare butt' button for people who want to moon other characters. Methinks if one has to have a 'point' button to rp something like 'what's that animal?' then one is not very imaginative. And don't get me wrong, I don't think every little thing should be emoted either. It's nice having some buttons to help out.. but let's not overload on them either.

*mutters darkly with loads of sarcasm dripping from each word* Let's just take all the emotive rp out and make it all technical, why don't we? Every minute thing can just be made into a button! Whoo! Long live the buttons! Because that's the only way for any rp to be substantiated, of course.

That's the spirit! Soon we'll have every single response expressable with a button!
