On my server (and others with different server mods), there are nickname commands, where players can set a nickname that appears in chat in place of their username. However, on my server this cancels out the LotR titles, so they dont work out. Also, when players can make their own nickname, you get players with nicks like "IAmGod" or "Poophead" (Ive seen these :P), so they dont work out, unless admins set them for players.

My suggestion: have a tab in menu like titles, that has a scroll bar with all the different factions, similar to the alignment page in menu. Each faction will have a list of their NPC names, for players to choose from. When players get +100 with a faction, they unlock that factions names. It would only use the NPC names, and there would be a config to disable names.

Nicknames would replace a player's username in chat, but nowhere else. To still see which player is using a nickname, you would just hover over the nickname in chat, like an achievement. And like an achievement, a box would pop up over the nickname that says the player's username.

This way, instead of [Easterling] JimMoriartyX>, it could be like this: [Easterling] Khamul>, and when you hover over where it says "Khamul", it would say "(JimMoriartyX)".

(There could even be a thing where you can only select a nickname of the faction whose title you are using, so that you cant have a player with a harad title and Rhudel name.) Suggestion. Admins can add names to this list for players to choose from. With /NAME ADD FACTION [Name]. so if i wanted to add a name "Sam" to the dunledings i would do /name add Dunland Sam. you could also do /name remove. This idea is to just use the faction name lists that are already in the mod for NPCs to use. Your idea would make it so there needs to be a separate list for players only. @Lego: Like i said, these would ONLY be the NPC names already in the mod. -_- well then it should have cannon lotr names as well not just npc names. but then the problems with players trying to be major lore characters would occur, with everyone choosing names like Aragorn, Legolas, etc.

This would just be a way to get faction roleplay names without being a major character. Major character names could still be given with server side mods such as FE, if the players on said server absolutley must be major lore characters.
