Question

My nephew is a low level player. He was helped in-game by a player whose name was simply a picture/image of a Skull. He was IMPRESSED. My question: How can a player do that? Beginning of the game? Level up? Thank you for any info on it.

Didn't know that this was possible and never seen it myself so sounds to me like a namebox exploit, you could maybe try something using the unicode of a skull? I'm not sure but I'm pretty sure that even if you manage to do it that you'll get a forced name change neverthelesss

Thanks for the info. Player that had it appeared to either be extremely high level or using cheats. Had arrival and leaving visual effects as well.

does your nephew use any addons? if yes, the addonauthors can do some addon-programming-wizardry to make some titles/names look different to all people who use that addon. if he doesnt use any addons and still only had a skull as name, he was cheating. and in a way i have never heard of in 4 years playing the game

Is your nephew playing on PC, xBox, or Playstation?

Which part? Level himself up w/o help now or how a partner can help him level? And what platform?

Glad to offer more whichever you need or both.

No he means the skull in the name.

Thanks for the offer! I really just want to know how it's possible/how do you use a skull for a name.
