I know that almost every forum has this thread, but W20 doesn't, so now it does.

Why did you pick your ingame nickname? What's it's significance?

When my friend (bigAlemos2 for those who remember him) introduced me to TW, he had been reading LotR, so he picked King Dain III, I picked Bullroarer Took (though obviously neither of us have those anymore) because it was a relatively obscure LotR name.

Discuss.

Mine was rather random. I had used it for a password (and no im not sharing passwords, or even hinting at it for that matter) in a few other places and other games. The name i first tried to use was The_Iceman, but that name was taken. I then tried to use asderf but that was taken as well. Then for some reason i added 200 to the end of the name and it went through.

Dwarveneree

When I came to play TW years back, I wanted a name similar to the theme TW was set at- hence the idea of a medieval dwarf.

The "eree" bit just sounded cooler and made it more dwarf like :p

Eksiljyden is Danish...Meaning that I'm Danish as well :icon_razz:

My nick is made up of two words:

Eksil:
Danish for exile.

jyden
A person who comes from Jutland. The part of Denmark that's connected to Germany.

So my nick Eksiljyden means a person who's in exile from Jutland. Which is very true since I don't live in Jutland anymore :icon_wink:

Hence the nick Eksiljyden.

I always assumed that it was just gibberish :icon_redface:

Yeah, how is it pronounced?

My name is from the anime The Guyver.

My dad used to rent it for me when i was younger, and it was violet so it explains my maniacal way of doing things. The video store he used to rent the tapes from went ou of business and changed its name like 2523523452 times. So, the very last time they went out of business he bought all of the tapes for me and we had a a barbeque that day :D I was 11, he died the next day after having aids for 17 years.

The name just sort of stuck with me, I use it for a few things.

You know there is another Hefty Smurf that hasn't been active in a year. :icon_wink:

My name came from a friend who suggested it. Wanted the medieval thing like Dwarven said so I went with "King". Ziggy came from the song "Ziggy Stardust" by David Bowie which he had been listening too since Guitar Hero had come out with it. "the 2" was chosen just out of pure randomness. :icon_biggrin:
