Automatic character creation - Name change

Post by Caorun »

I am unable to utilize the automatic character creation features because I assign a unique name to each new character for immersion purposes.
It would be nice if there was a step by step feature that is related to the last creation and not the name.

Interesting idea, added it to the client code:
After you just died and are thrown back to the character list screen, press 'N' to create a new character, and prefix the new name with a "+" sign.
Eg if you just died on "Gandalf", press "N" and enter "+Saruman", then it will reincarnate your previous character Gandalf but with the new name "Saruman".

To use it, you have 3 possibilities:
1) compile latest github code yourself
2) download the Windows test client (button of the downloads page)
3) wait for 4.9.4 release
