Any way we will be sure that we keep our handles when the beta goes open?

I know most of us will be from WB, but would hate to get someone grabbing someone elses name.

hmmm......very good point...however..as much as HT loves all of us and everything..and he's got to know hes got a massive customer base waiting in the wings...something tells me as much as he wishes it was otherwise..it will probably be first come first server.

My only question is:

Is Killla gonna be banned from the start, or does he get to play for a week and piss everybody off first?

 

Yak (or maybe the name was Toshi-.  hmm)

Corvet don't forget there could also be AW and FA Corvets sniffing around in here so it will pay not to hang around when the ribbon is cut on the hangar door.

However one would hope that HT & Co. would give their previous wage payers as much secret advance warning as possible

maybe this could be the first 'player-initiated' (potential-player-initiated!) project.

A register of "want to keep" player handles.
Simply the handle, e-mail and date "registered".
When the company are ready to open up subscriptions (or start beta) they simply get the list from the name-registrar, and advise them all that to keep their preferred handle they must join up asap!

It also gives them the start of an 'interested start-up customer' database too!
