Title: our airline names
Post by: ban2 on February 17, 2009, 12:46:05 PM
just a thought.. i wonder is it worth while having a copyright dept here to register our own airline names or is it just the done thing/unwritten rule not to knowingly use another persons airline name.

have you ever had someone use your airline name, i know i unwittingly used someone elses in another game i did'nt realise it until i saw it being used in this game.

There will be a feature later on where you can reserve your airline name.

Other than that the names are not and cannot be reserved or otherwise marked to any player (apart from the restricted / realworld names).

After creating my airline "EurAir", I saw your signature. Lol. Well, the names are kinda different. Yours is all caps and only the E and A are capitalized in my airline's name.  ;)

Perhaps the ability to change your name on the first day could be implemented as a free service??

It appears i have a twin, Just created a new airline in game 2 and not only did we effectively choose the same name, only difference being mine is airways and the other is airlines... we chose the same port aswell  :-[


This will undoubtledly cause much confusion to the passengers
