How will unqiue nicks be handled? Must everyone have a unique nick? Will people who register a nick for the beta be allowed to carry over that beta to the full version?

AS a major announcement..

First come, first serve after release. No reservations during beta.

your outfit tag is listed seperately as it currently stands. you don't have to do this sort of thing:
name>>clanname<<

unless you want to.

That's cool the beta guys don't get preferential treatment, I mean they already got a chance to play the game.

/me prays he can get "Dio" before anybody else

Seriously guys...pray for me...please... :)

I never get too attached to a name, but I do use a few over again in different games. I still haven't decided if I'll use this one in the game, and there are a lot of words out there. Interesting dilemma for those that get in the beta. If you make a name for yourself, that name is going to be one of the first ones gone on all the servers.

[�io]

I hate having 5 different nicks, i want my online buddies to know if i'm Dio in Tribes2 you know i'm Dio in PlanetSide. Of course i probably won't get Dio so i'll have to find some other way to write Dio, hopefully they allow numbers and perhaps even special chars.

(I just wish i could write it �io :D)

[Sputty]

All mine are variations of Sputty. Like Sputtee or Sputti. I'm very unimaginative when it's non violent

[afex]

i call:

afex
afecks
afex2win
aphex
aphecks

[Zanzibar]

yeh but that means that a load of newbies/total losers are gonna surf the net see a name that they like and use that n if that person hass a good rep. then thats that shattered n theyve got to start again. i hope they let peeps use the same name, like in UO. lets face it there is always gna b sum1 out there just trying to ruin it for everyone else.

I cant wait to see how many fan site staffs names are running around...... I remember that from AO. Derisor was a big fanboi, and some schmuck took his name and then demanded money for it...

[Airlift]

I'm gonna be Hamma ;):D :eek:

[Hamma]

:mad:

[BLuE_ZeRO]

Hamma will end up having a name like H4mM4z0rz :lol:

[Airlift]

Hamma 2.5.1?

[DevilWhiskey]

Or maybe HammaTime?

DevilWhiskey

[Navaron]

Solution,

Join a clan. What the hell are the odds some schmuck will take your clan name, AND your name.

[Lexington_Steele]

I don't really like the idea of having the clan in my name if it doesn't need to be there. In a persistant game that is designed to have outfits, I think having the clan in your name will be redundant.

[Lexington_Steele]

Also if you ever decide to leave that clan or get kicked you have to create a whole new character.

[Airlift]

Can I be Lil' H? How about Mr. H's Horrible Hamma? My outfit can be the Letter People
