Mine name was tied up when I came back to the game, or so it shows it is. I might ask the crew if they will unlock line so I can go back to Ciaphas instead of Stomplab.

In game names are limited to 8 characters is another reason.

People change their game IDs from time to time.  Mine matched ten years ago.

I was bored by all the "What does it mean? And how the hell do you pronounce it?" questions, so I changed my ingame name after 30 tours.

The server for Aces High (where AH handles are managed) is separate from and unconnected to this message board.

For someone to have the same handle here as in the game, they would need to pick the same handle here as in the game, and if they ever change one, need to go in an change it in the other place.
