Emoticons visible in Profile Names.
I reckon Valve would get a lot more card trading and booster pack interest if players could show off their emoticons in their profile names. What say you?:d2tidehunter:

good idea :froggy:

Great idea, but I think there should be a limit... I wouldn't want to see people's names being a string of 30 random icons.

Yes but like Cid said there should be a limit

Yup, a limit would definitely make sense.

good idea though, why put all the effort into badges if you can't show off a little

Pretty much this.

Although I admit not warning people what the limit is and seeing someone change their name to a bunch of emotes, followed by a bunch of broken-emotes would be funny as hell.

And give all of us saner people an easy way to tell who to filter off our friendlist :cgrazz:

I Think it would be a great Idea to add in some personality and show off you icons for trading reasons. :sword: Carolyn:sword:

What about games who pick up your Steam name in multiplayer ? Devs would need to implement emoticons display in their games, lest you'd have a name akin to :emoticon1:BEST:emoticon2:POTATO:emoticon3:, which would get quite ugly
(there exists color codes in several games for Steam names, ^<number> if I remember correctly, and since Steam does not support such a feature, it renders the nick quite hard to read).

So, no, I'd disagree.

EDIT : oops, just saw this was necroed.

Coool idea but it wouldn't work since inside the game it would appear something like:
Joker: wcube : and no one would understand what's there

This sure would be awesome. Right now all my emoticons are just sitting in my inventory, or I use them in chats or discussions when they fit.:melon:
As much as I'd like to change my name to ":box: Dumb x1 (list)", I agree with Fox.
