Dumb name thing!
« on: September 20, 2004, 12:25:33 am »
I put my character name as Coheed on the making your guy page, then I went through quick creation, then I made the guy\'s looks and I tried to do that name thing, but it keeps saying the name is already used, what the hell?! i know the names i\'m typign in haven\'t been used. What is this thing anyways and how do I do  it, and if you coual, give me a name for me.

Names cannot contain spaces or numbers or special characters. This includes apostrophies and dashes. If you choose a name that isn\'t accepted the first time round, you\'ll have to exit and load up the client again to try another name. This is a bug which is fixed in the upcoming new version Crystal Blue.

Don\'t spend longer than a few minutes in character creation. No skills or statistics mean anything in this Tech Demo version. The only things that matter are your name and your appearance. Spending too long in char creation can also cause you to become Linkdead.
