Optional Anonymity

This screenshot was taken on the original Multiplayer Platformworld.

I miss being anonymous, but can no longer do it without being a guest. I believe that there should be an option in-game to turn off your screename in the map. In chat it was still appear there, but in the map it would look like you are a guest with the extra smileys, bricks, etc.

Does this sound like a good idea?

Re: Optional Anonymity

no. It doesn't. What if someone like linus21 felt like trolling a world, so he would just turn off his name. He would get the code and troll.

Not if his name would still be in the chat bar.

Re: Optional Anonymity

Everybody's name will be in the chat bar. You still won't be able to tell who it is unless you rounded everyone up and split them each into small boxes, looking at them and seeing who is a guest and who is anonymous. Sorry if that sounds confusing, I seem to be really good at giving explanations that make little sense.

Panic that made sense, and that is probably the only effective way of doing it too.
