Has anyone ever had to deal with someone impersonating you or your guild? :srsly?:
It seems to be a common thing now with people using others names to scam and today
this happened to my guild:

Not only does the i look like an l but the color is almost the same as well :worry:
I personally have taken any names on my server that resemble mine and I wonder if this is something that other people have considered doing to avoid problems.

Cross-server impersonation is possible too, since the same IGN can exist on different servers...
I should go take those now...

And no haven't had any impersonators b/c I'm unknown to the general public.

Wow, I've never seen guild impersonation before. o_o;;
There's an Adelynn on Ruairi, I know that. QQ There's a Zid, too. Neither of them is us so it feels really weird.
I run into people with similar names to mine a few times, but not trying to look exactly like mine.

Apparently there's a Majikaru running around Mari server.
And the 30 minutes I played NA mabinogi, I had to be Karumaji because of that :|

Ouch. ELegant was totally asking for it too...
I wonder how many other _L____ guilds there are that could fall prey to this?

It doesn't bother me whenever I see other people named Pika, but there was this one time when I was on my Human and this random newbie girl ran up to me and started yelling at me :
Girl : "OMG YOU NOOB YOU STOLE THE NAME I WANTED!!"
Me : "Er, I started in Closed Beta, so you were just too late to claim it.
Girl : "SCREW YOU I HATE YOU!!"
Me : "Okay."
Of course, my Human's name is Pikablu.
