I think similar names are sort of a case-by-case issue. Take LostKnight as the original poster. I could see legitimate player names of LastKnight and LostNight that are not trying to copycat him. Very different from a player named "LK_owner" or "Lost knigh" walking around offering to sell the LostKnight account or say they are LostKnight's alt wondering if they could borrow gold or items.

Según me informó un GM, nadie puede tener un nombre muy parecido o muy similar al mío.

I have seen two "Huntress" characters: Boudica and Boudiica, the second chose a misspelling because Boudica was taken.

He says a player has similar name and is level 900. His account is much lower than this "copycat".
There were already el_manda accounts before his el_menda account.
He cant call them a scammer or copycat if it existed first.
If he is calling EL_Manda a copycat he is wrong for the reasons you state.
@ E.Menda
EL_Manda is a game Translator and NOT a copycat and someone that helped me 2 years ago when I first joined FT.

Tangled, he referenced a lvl 900 with a name similar to his. That isnt a copycat scammer. TBH i thought El_Menda was a copycat of dave mandas accounts. Look at his post above mine please. I agree scammers need punished, but just because a name is similar doesnt make it a scammer account.
Dave manda has an account El_Manda that has a good name and a much longer player than El_Menda.
And this isn't what I'm referring to at all. At any point. Please refer to my original reply with link included.

I already knew of his and others issues with a scammer copycat. But if you had read his post and my reply to his post. Yours was not related. He claimed a level 900 was taking his name. Not a new player. Technically el.menda took another players name.

Lk u were right, tangled is the one confused i guess. The El_Manda i was referring to is the same you know.
If wanted to be technical El.Menda copied/variated his name.

Well technically speaking El_Manda and El.Menda are not copies of each other. Resemble, maybe but not copycats either way.
The fake El_menda5 however was pretending to be El.Menda and El.Menda came out publicly stating it was NOT him just as I did in the original post here about me.
Who this 900 character is I have no idea.

Excuse me, my response is to the original post. The confusion is not mine, I'm afraid.
There was a scammer who has assumed several known player's identity as a deliberate act of malicious and smear. This is the bigger issue here. Not El_Menda's mistake over El_Manda.
Kindly steer back to the original topic, please. It is much more important.
