Do you use your real name or a new name?

[Soot Sprite]

I always use my real name, or I guess the name I go by since it’s my middle name. I actually really like my name, so I don’t mind using it for characters!

[mayortiffany]

Real name, it makes me feel more connected to the game. I find it more fun that way, to be playing as myself rather than a character.

 

[Croconaw]

I use a made-up name. I normally name my character Croconaw. I don’t think I’ve ever used my real name on a video game.
