    The combinations are: system base ^ number of digits, so it's 36^3 or 36*36*36.

    Really? So people will have the same names... that is kind of lame. But kind of cool. I don't know. Makers user names loose some of their uniqueness.

    You mean like Findlemeyer612 being unique from Findlemeyer? Or xXDarkOneXx?

    You still get to make unique names :/

    I want to be darth vader...


    ...and I want everyone who ever friends someone to have that much harder of a time just so i can be darth vader. Because thats what BNET 0.2 needs, MORE barriers to communicating and connecting with other people

    I don't think it'll be that bad
    so my game won't be full of

    XXxDARKSHINOBIxXX
    _DARK_SHINOBI_
    DARKSHINOBI666
    Dark-Shinobi

    So instead, it'll look like

    DarkShinobi(1)
    DarkShinobi(2)
    DarkShinobi(3)

    Anyways, are you guys seriously going to use those over used names, etc?
    I mean not even on WoW do people have the same names...occasionally you get the guy with a name from a certain comic/anime/game/etc...but other than that...

    Yes, they do have the same names. There are hundreds of WoW servers, and if you did a name match with them, you'd find plenty of duplicates.

    Remember: SC2 will only have 3 regions. Imagine the names of 1/3rd of all WoW servers all crammed down to one server.
