I don't really like people changing names from time to time, just when i'm
getting used to their name. It doesn't really matter that much if it is
Brethel, Belemar or Admorac, it is just a name, all of them are great, but
it takes just too much trouble to go with changing the name. Once a name
has been chosen, it shouldn't be never changed, otherwise the one discards
its identify and has to build a new one and the others has to get used to
it. Now everyone knows you as Brethel, not as Belemar or Admorac and
that is not only the Majik team, all the people who look at the web pages,
people at linuxgames.com, everywhere. Everyone speaks of Brethel, no-one
of Belemar or Admorac. It is not that simple to just to change the name,
it is a huge effort to get everyone used to it and if one does that once
in a year or so.. Compare the benefits, if one choses to cling only to a
one name, it becomes more well-known and changing the name discards all
the popularity gained by the name just in order to get a "nicer" name,
when in reality it is just the same whatever name you use, it isn't really
worth the trouble.
