Just cancle your account and renew with new name of your choosing if its not taken. A good way but not perfect is go to score page and search score of your choosen name and if it shows its taken come up with new one.

Why in Gods name did you pick a handle like that in the 1st place? A little common sence would work..

Same goes for these guys who pick handles like 7423987 or 9384792  not sure exactly what they are thinking...

Dog out....

War, I think the numbers that are assigned are the accounts that are on 2 week trial.  Maybe they've changed it since you and I had the 2 week trial and don't let you select a name.

If I'm wrong then I have no idea why in the world someone would select these types of names!

They way I understand it: (HTC ?)

The "NewU###" names a generated by the server when the person logs in. (a new ## each time)

If you neglect to enter the the MA before your 2 weeks free trial is up, you have no "REAL" name.(Only when you enter the MA for the first time,does it ask for your desired name)

Believe it or not, some people did not understand the "free 2 weeks" and thought the H2H hosts were what it was, so they never entered the MA.
Sometimes they just neglect to try to play until 2 weeks after they have registered.

HTC BTW:
I have heard of a handful of cases where someone has registered (only 1 time, not a scammer) and was not able to get into the MA.
They SAY they always received the message "account expired", and could NEVER get into the MA. This was even if the password was sent to them the day before.
