I can't play anymore due to changes

When I tried to sign up for PaX the signup page says this: Username Max 10 characters

So I fill in the form and enter the username I've had since r2, the same as my forum name, my irc nick and my ruler name half of the rounds. Same name as I have on ICQ and use as rulername in several other online games, even a MUD char I've had since -95 bears that name.

Your username either contains illegal characters or is too long or too short (5-10).

So it seems Chax can no longer play planetarion.

I don't see why there has to be a 5 character minimum for username and I certainly don't see why the minimum isn't listed on the signup page when the maximum is. Yes I did bring this issue up in the beta, twice even, since boards got deleted each reset.

Same goes for Xanadu btw

The new Xanadu forums don't allow 4 character usernames either. So I can't be bothered being a Xanadu member in the games they play now.

The question is, am I petty for letting such a detail deter me from being in a gaming community or playing an online game, or is the gaming community and the online game petty for not letting people use the names they want.

It's all relative.

Personally, I think it's a bit petty...but you obviously don't see it that way, and there's nothing at all wrong with that.

actually with the amount of 3 and 4 letter nicks it's kinda ridiculous... but easily solved if spinner would want too... such small things have no real use anyways ... 5 letters minimum.. heh

Sorry to say this Chax but it is a little petty on the PA Front. While the Xanadu forums will be an issue because your username is your display name the username for PA isnt used in the as your ID.

ofc the 5 charachter rule could be applicable on your planet name too in which case you have a point

Erm, username same as Ruler name - why make it easy for anyone who wants to try to hack you?
Next you'll want to set your password to the same as your ruler name.

OFC you know you can still have Chax as ruler name and (in-game) alliance nick.

Some people care a lot about their nicks and ruler names and planet names. Yes, it's mostly vanity and foolishness; but they still care about them.

How much effort does it take for customers to pad/shorten names and/or remove some special characters? Not very much. On the other hand, how much effort does it take for the programmers to allow shorter/longer names and to allow a few special characters? Again, not very much.

The question then is, on whose shoulders should this small amount of effort fall--the programmers or the customers?

It sure looks like a no-brainer to me.

Ah, but is it more effort for everyone with a 4 letter name to be name1 than for PA to change the minimum to 1 char?

Do you set your alarm for 4am to wake up for an attack? Do your mates have your mobile number so they can ring you in the middle of the night and shout for defence?

I'm guessing with you being ex-Xanadu thats probably the case, so surely adding a 1 to your username cant be that much effort if you are willing to get up at ridiculous hours for the game.

Spinner probably has more important things to worry about right now, like making sure everything is coded properly for the start of the round, so i doubt this will get changed.

Hehe. So in other words, PA is already so inconvenient that adding a few more petty inconveniences shouldn't really be a problem? I guess PA has so many customers that they have to beat them off with sticks!

Probably. But Chax did say he brought it up during the beta--twice. I know others mentioned a similar issue with respect to ruler names.

Hmm I think you didn't read the thread correctly. Chax is talking about his USERname, e.g. the name wich you use to login. You are talking about RULERname, e.g. the name used ingame, wich is something totally different. (you should know that after about 10 rounds )

Who cares about the username? Seriously, no-one except yourself should ever use it, so it doesn't affect anything at all.

Annoying perhaps, enough to stop you playing the game? LMFAO

I'm quite aware of the difference between user names and ruler/planet names, and I'm quite aware of which one Chax is talking about. Everything I posted was concerning usernames except my last sentence, and I only mentioned ruler names there because a similar issue came up with them during the beta as well.

i first typed in Aryn (i know i know.. bad aryn :\)
and it said i couldn't use it
so i thought 'oh ok' and typed in something else that was longer.

no problem.

for rulername again i was gonna use Aryn but changed my mind.. so perhaps this could be an issue for some people..

for alliance name i typed in Aryn and it worked.


now then i don't see the problem with being upset about your username (if i read correctly and this login name is what the problem is about)
ideally your username should be something no one can guess, or something 'not so obvious'
if you get caught cheating and try to say 'gee i didn't think anyone would guess it' and it's the same as your irc nick.. well.. i'm sure the multihunters would have a bit of a hard time believing you.

It's her rank rather than an avatar and so shows up for you even though you have avatars turned off.

I couldn't use the "-" in both my rulername and my username..as I have been using since round3.. annoyed me quite a bit. But I just dropped the "-".. But it still annoys me somewhat..

But please do play Chax

Portal

It's funny though, the portal allows 4 letter usernames. Maybe one will become automatically logged into the game if logged into the portal once the passport thing is finished. In that case the problem is solved.

One can't help wondering though, how come the game doesn't allow the same names as the portal does.

Because PA wouldn't be the same without these little inconsequences that we all love to hate... and even though they are changing everything, some things needs to ,and actually will, stay the same
