All character names used? - Soger_Hayha - 02-18-2013
I've been trying to create a new character for the last 2 hours, reinstalled the game 3 times and still it tells me that "character name is in use already".
The name I'm trying to use is my forum name, Soger_Hahya. I've tried just Soger, I've tried just Hayha, I've tried random common names and still no luck.
Looking around apparently it's to do with the newcharacter.ini file, which is why I reinstalled 3 times...no idea what to do now
RE: All character names used? - Sand_Spider - 02-18-2013
Have you tried Soger.Hahya? Or perhaps Soger.Hahja; ? Try adding a period, comma, colon or semi-colon to seperate the two names and/or at the end of the name. That ought to work for you.

Perhaps it had to do with the major conectivity issues that happened today. Try again, but now that you made a thread some troll might get the name just to, well, troll you. Good luck tho!

Can you create characters with other names? -- obviously not while the server is down.
The server will show that message if somebody has reserved a tag that your name conflicts with.
RE: All character names used? - Soger_Hayha - 02-18-2013
Nope, tried all sorts of names, simple things like BobMcCanty (highly doubt anyone took this name), and tried Soger.Hayha, as well as other combinations...
No idea what to do

Possibly your mpnewcharacter.fl file is corrupt. Reinstall and see if that helps.
RE: All character names used? - Soger_Hayha - 02-18-2013
I reinstalled 4 times already
gonna search around some more...EDIT: Interestingly enough, I just created a character on the Hamburg Server running vanilla...no problems at all. Any ideas?
RE: All character names used? - Soger_Hayha - 02-18-2013
SOLVED - reinstalled Disco and launched it, created character without any problems this time!
Thanks for your help, I'll see you in the game!
