I don't play often but, when I do log in I notice that no one else uses bold or italics in their screen names.

Did everyone forget how or is it no longer considered the 'cool' thing to do?

It stopped being cool when I stopped doing it, which was like 9 years ago.

choke on a dick, grim. i want my stolen mwc 2009 trophy back. That way I can have a ring on all 5 fingers.

The way the login system works may have confused players as to what their options are in regard to formatting their logins. In previous servers the screen name and login were separate. That may have made them used to the idea of changing their screen names to characters that look like letters when put together the way Milk Man does currently.

With the way this server does things, options are different. Some players don't know they can still use bold and italics without changing their logins. The server strips out the formatting to know the login. So this will allow the server to treat you logging on as "|bSamsWrath", "|iSams|bWrath", and any other variation the same as "SamsWrath".

Or people could have simply lost interest in formatting names and don't care about little details like that anymore.
