Mitch (IFRIT) Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 Hello all, I have made a change to the player name system for the server. Moving forward there are going to be some limits to the characters that can be used in your name. This is being done to prevent issues on the back end of things. Below is a list of characters that will be allowed. ' !"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~ Thank you, Mitch Bag Of Funyuns, Marlowe, Flax and 4 others like this Link to comment
Ron Johnson Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 (edited) TL;DR so far for everyone: Database issues have caused a need for restrictive names at this time. - Such issues cause inaccessibility to needed player based data due to special characters being used in one's name. In the future, we may see an increase in the inclusion of Special ASCII Characters again if development sees a solution to the issue Although everyone seems upset about this change, it is for the betterment of the server/community. Give the development team time to test out with this issue and we will see increased availability of special characters once again. VIET-CONG now are being held accountable for their player actions... legit their whole names were ASCII -- they were probably like ninjas on the database, toxic ninjas that is.

Sliick Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 (edited) I know why it has to be done but its so fucking retarded. Rangefinders? and now this.

Steve Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 Christ this is getting so out of hand over whether or not you can use cool looking gang tags. Maybe it causes performance issues too. I've played on servers that don't allow these characters because when they did it would cause the server to crash. Glass of Water likes this Link to comment
