'Invalid Nickname'?

Newbie Joined: Mar 27, 2008 Posts: 2

I want to join the JG53 squadron, and doing so requires that my username inculde the squadron tag, '4./KG53_'. Firstly, is there a way of doing this without creating a new account altogther? Second, when I tried creating a new account, it gave the error 'Invalid Nickname'. I tested various combinations of letters, and it doesn't like the '.', the '/', or the '_'. Is this some new revision of the system, because I have seen several people with these special characters in their nicknames.

Thanks

What language is your operating system?

I suspect you have a combination that amounts to be a command string in "C" and Jiri has it filtered.

Likely it's the 4./

Try something a bit different and see if it works.

You can create multiple accounts even with the same password.
It is allowed.

I have English Windows XP Pro...and "4./" is not an 'escape sequence' in C. Besides, I can see people in Hyperlobby that have that tag already, so if it worked for them, what is wrong with my setup?

Perhaps, just a guess on my part.
I assure you that Jiri does not screen combinations of characters for no reason.
