Alright, why in the hell are people making servers with the same name?
Does anyone ever think before they make a server?
I mean, I know it doesn't take a genius to make one, I've seen 12 year olds make servers.
But atleast they picked a unique name, even if it was something related to their country.

What...the...hell!?
Honestly, so many servers are appearing overnight it's not even funny, but this... honestly i've played on a server that accidentally copied another server's name, but this, 3+ servers with the same name, is redicolous!
Even though the word "RetRO" sounds like it could pop up into anybody's mind at anytime

Same server names aren't anything new, RetRO is good name. I'm more surprised by the fact that, none of them seemed to bother to evne google or check on RMS before making a server >_>;

I mean it should be common sense "Hmmm...I think RetRO is a good server name, maybe I should look around to see if someone thought of that already" rather than "RetRO is a good name, so I should go ahead and make my server now"

If you've checked RMS server listing, you can see that there are 500+ Servers, so it shouldn't be rare for one admin to actually choose one of those names, heck, people name their servers usually as something impressive like, GoldRO, DarkRO, CelestialRO, AwsomeRO, so yeah, it would be pretty common for 2 people to make a server called AwsomeRO each time, even though, RMS could add a feature that does not allow for 2 servers to have the same name listed, even though it can lead to abuse

I agree with Aozora and others and others who stated that a simple research is in order before starting your server, see if your name is taken or not, it takes 5 minutes at most. As for rms I don't think they would prevent servers with the same name, they're not the ro server police as they've said a lot before.

The current case of all those retro doesnt seem to be plagiarism like littlechan simply thought, rather just lack of research and originality.

To go along with what LiteX said...HAS anyone told them they all have the same name? o__O; I wonder if they know, or simply don't care.

Or maybe they're a franchise!  :o

Bulletro

lmfao yes, but I am the first creator of the original retRO.. mine was made first P: http://whois.domaintools.com/ret-ro.org
I saw these servers pop up somewhere and lmfao.

Blazermax

Well if someone had a server with the name that I really wanted and I could use the same name, then I would do that too.

PureJ

But thats lame, that means that your Idea was not Original enough!! D:

Taxidermy

Wow, it isn't that hard to come up with a server name...  :-\

Descent

Eh, there's so many servers out there nowadays that duplicate names are becoming more and more common.

Not to this grand of a scale, though. :X

Mortiik

And why do people keep sticking with wordplay usually containing RO? Be more creative.

maybe its just a coincidence...... many private servers now..... so many possers

                                     ill gun you down...
                                     if you get in my way..

Astonica

Yeah, but sometimes 'coincidental' names can lead into confusion.
For example, EternityRO. I know there were some complains about it, and I thought it was the server I was playing in. But when I checked, they only have the same name but completely different servers. =/
