  4. This is how #Niantic's game #HarryPotterWizardsUnite currently enforces their poly-nymic #namingPolicy:

    Mind you, these name fields are *optional*, and (supposedly) aren't even stored on their servers, so it makes even less sense for them to enforce any rules for them, and not just use a single 'display name' field.

    #UX #nymwars

  5. Let's see if this #Feedback submitted through #Niantic's support bot for #HarryPotter #WizardsUnite will make their #MinistryID #namingPolicy more inclusive by allowing the use of a #mononym without workarounds such as including a period.

  6. @Bluedepth
    could also be #Niantic's first game, #Ingress. Though Ingress Agents tend to only look at their scanner app at the actual portals, as there's nothing to do in between locations.

    Btw @cj, you can choose a (public) username, as well as a (private) wizard name. Looks like Niantic hasn't learnt from the #Nymwars though, as your wizard name needs to consist of a first and last name. You can change it freely though, by the looks of it.
