Class Titles - Should they be shortened?

[Kainzo]

The chat box/system in Minecraft sucks - the titles may appear too large for some. This isnt a debate whether we should HAVE titles (they're here to stay) It's a polling to see if we want to shorten them or not.

Example:

[o] [Dragoon] Kainzo: Hello guys, I hate you all!

vs

[o] [DRG] Kainzo: Hello guys, I hate you all!

I'm not too fond of titles either way. That is, I don't care for them. I do think that some of the chat output is rather windy though: Heroes: [Dragoon]Applelove(*) killed X with Y
If the "Heroes: " part is axed, it will probably be fine, or atleast bearable. Maybe titles should stick to 6-8 characters, rather than 3 or the full title: "D.Knight" instead of "DreadKnight"

All that being said, I'd very much like a '/title prefix REMOVE' feature. There wasn't one listed in title help.

Ambivalent, but it would be nice for all prefix titles to be the same length.

I think thats a fair bet - we'll try to restrict and make sure it doesnt impede on the automatic messages like SKill use etc.

I'm thinking more beginner friendly and to do that puting the full would be better.

I'm stating No, because I would like to let Heroes 3.0 run for a bit and then start looking for suggestions. Perhaps after awhile, shortening them will be nice. I'm with Dazereus if you decide to shorten. Make sure that all titles are conforming in length just for cosmetics' sake.

[DRG] Kainzo: Hello guys, I hate you all!

As a Starcraft 2 nerd I immediately think of DRG as MVPDongRaeGu

Anyways, I think it is fine as it is, I haven't had any problems so far.
