Planetside Game Names

[Whacko]

Sorry think I should of asked this in General discussion but how can we pre-register our desired game names ......??
does it go through station.com?...or can we expect to be able to only register our name when the open beta starts.?

TY

No

Jaged, be a little more pleasant.

Whacko, to tell you the truth, i'm not entirely sure...
I'm pretty sure that the registering will be similar to what Tribes 2 was. So, what i believe it to be is that you must actually have the game in your possession (be in the beta or version come March) in order for you to register your nick.

We can only hope and pray that it comes out in March. My guess, late April early May.

Which works for me so I can get more time and money for my uber computer, and get "The Select Few" in line, and in complete order.

Its very likely (in fact almost definately) to be the same as other MMOs...

Your station name is your log in for your account (gives you access to the server screen, bill payments etc).

You then choose your server from the list (US West, Britain etc).

Then you will choose the character you want to play or make a new one. THEN you will give him a name, or "nick". This name will be your characters name until you delete him, and will be the name used in-game (no you cant change it).

If you make a new character, then that characters name will be your name in-game, and anyone sending a message to your other character wont be able to cos your logged in with a different character.

So its a race

Well not much for me to say except what mikky said.

[TheGreatCarbini]

Ya I will usualy just make 4 characters to start to reserve the names when I start an MMORPG. I'll do the same with PS. Carbini, Myric, Feelda. All MINE! hissss!

[BUGGER]

No one take BUGGER...........cause I dont wana be plotting numbers after my name..........why did I put numbers after my name??

[Duilin]

I imagine you start a character, then name the character. If name is taken, it tells you and you give a new name.

[Fire_Monkey]

yes..that's how it is always done...was that sarcasm dude?

[VanuSovereignty]

Wha? Did someone say we'll have to use our Beta test name? >/ Crap on me, cause I signed up as BobbleHeadPat. >/!!! I can imagine...

"Hey! Private BobbleHeadPat! Get your arse over here!"

>/!!

[Confectrix]

All I know is that Confectrix will be on the battlefield. Let's be certain not to take it please.

Thank you all in advance.

I can imagine griefers all over the planet reading threads like this noting down all the characters to make...
