Dwynn Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I was under the impression that city names were unique. I'm seeing that's not the case. Has that always been this way, is it a bug or is it a change? He's right, I'm such a stinker. Play my exceptional game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Fire Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I don't recall this ever being the case. Forcing people to all have different names for cities sounds like a nightmare anyway. _________________________________________________________________ <Jroc> I heard \ is an anagram of cocaine<\> I can't be rearranged into a line, I already am a line. --Foxburo Wiki-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgi Stomana Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Thank goodness, I'm sure someone would of already taken Stalingrad if they were unique.

Morgan Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 City names have never been unique. Anyone can name their city anything. There are towns in cities with the same names in the real world. There's no regulation forcing every town/city to have a different name. So thanks Sheepy for not forcing unique city names on Orbis, as it's unrealistic and does not reflect the real world.

I think it simply would have been upsetting to a lot of people, as there are a lot of common city names. Many players have cities like "Berlin", "Paris", "London", "New York", etc. and there's no sense in restricting them when you can't search by city or anything anyway. Is there a bug?

Outburst Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Cities can have non-unique names, since they are assigned unique ID numbers. Look in the URL when in a city's overview to see its ID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hansarius Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Cities can have the same name in Real-Life, so I see no reason why it should be different in-game “Be your friend’s true friend.
