Why did I get a forced name change yesterday?

[Fizzol512]

So, my understanding is that the new name change policy is still a couple weeks away, but when I looged in one of characters yesterday I was greeted with a forced name change popup, with no option but to change my name. Who do I ask to find out what happened and why, presumably, someone else was given my characters name?

 

Also, my name wasn't anything copyrighted (that I know of), unusual, or offensive in any way.

More context may be required.

Contact a GM is all I would suggest, its fairly easy on discord

let us be the judge of that, what was the name?

Just remember kids ... CLUES ARE NOT FOR EVERYONE ...

 

And some of us have more than our fair share ...

A Gravity/Storm Controller named 'Heavy Rain'. I like the name a lot, and it works with the character concept. It's completely inoffensive as far as I can tell. Maybe it duplicates something the GMs have planned or someone more connected than me liked the name and got it taken away. Either way, or if there's some other reason, I'd like to know.

Well... it's an existing video game... so maybe that?

Best to hit up a GM in game or in the discord channel.

 

You're not going to get the answers you seek here.

Or a support ticket.

Oh, could be. I've never heard of it.

[Fizzol512]

 

Or a support ticket.

 

Thanks, ticket submitted.

[Sailboat]

I have to admit I'd be surprised if that happened to me.  Name does appear inoffensive.

like some one else said it is the name of a game, but I can't see that having impact here, did you transfer to another server? If not put in a support ticket

The game is rather disturbing from what I've heard.  However, it is a fairly common term aside from that.

[Roughtrade]

I was talking to a friend in game earlier who said a toon he had tried out had vanished this morning.  He assumed the name change policy had already begun, but I have my doubts. 

 

Perhaps while they were setting it up a few names got yoinked?

 

He got it back right away.  Did you try to make a new toon up with that name?

[Frakk]

or just try to rename it back.  The rename button is up near the delete character button on the character select screen.

What name change policy are you guys going on about?  Certainly not anything to do with copyrighted names I hope seeing as this is a private server an all...lol

The policy posted in Announcements.

I doubt it's the game being an issue, but yes, the game is quite...out there. I suggest playing it in the dark with some glass bottles. :p

How do you code the size of images in replies?

[_NOPE_]

How do you code the size of images in replies?

I don't think you can. When I want to, I just download the image, resize it and re-upload it to IMGUR.

[Impish Kat]

you can resize images manually by adding a height or width parameter within the image tags....

 

so it would look something like ...

 

[img width=600]image url[/img]

 

To see the image tags and other formatting, click on the icon with the red brackets and blue arrow in the text editor.

[Fizzol512]

or just try to rename it back.  The rename button is up near the delete character button on the character select screen.

 

Thanks, I thought that would fix it, but it says the name is already in use by another character.
