Hi!
Wouldnt it be kewl if you limited the handles to 4 characters and enabled the option for using numbers (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Talk about flashback hehe.
// -nr-1-

I think we outdid your suggestion. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) IDs can be between 2 and 8 characters. You can use any combination of numbers and upper and lower case letters in the ID.

I will announce now that people with names such as qX6bLw2P will NOT be getting 6 calls from me.
I die too often as it is trying to find six lowercase letters.
Preference however will be given to people with names consisting simply of a string of 6's.

hehe, I use to run into that problem too, glars, so I usually just shorten their name, and hope they get it.... if not, well at least I tried. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
ex: rj was short for ramjet, m was short for monkey, and people would use n8 when calling my 6, which was quite often. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Yes natedog that does work but you just make sure the routes into AH are good so I don't get a "G 666" after I'm back in the tower like I do in The Other Game (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Ahem. . .I would like to officially reserve my handle. Where (and when (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)) does one do that?

note how sneaky I was putting the 'when' question in there. . . ssshhhhh. Don't let Pyro, or HT in on it.

My handle is the same in every online game I play, unless it is an RPG, then it gets changed to Ghuns GiGi. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

There's a whole bunch of "eagle" variants out there, but I've only seen ONE other "eagl" out there, the guy who was using "eag[one]". I dueled for the ident and won, so I'd like to stick with it (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Well one of the things I'm looking foward to in AH is the oppertunity to finaly get Sharky as my callsign. I've been Sharky to my squad since I joined VMF-214 (about 3 years now)and would really like to have it as my ID in the game. (I'm a CPO in the Navy so you can see how the squad came up with Sharky (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) Besides noone can ever figure what "ftgc" stand for (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Sharky Out

Can I reserve my ID if I send you a picture of my license plate? Actually "WICKED" was already taken so I had to settle for "VVICKED" which I think looks just as good. I have only seen one other person with a similar handle(-wkd--?), but I have grown quite attached to it as you can tell. Of course, now that numbers are enabled I could go back to my original handle of "UB86".

Is there any way to protect IDs formerly held in WarBirds? I mean, if someone accidentally got another's handle it would be sort of a drag.
Anyway, I doubt if anyone would care to shoulder the burden of my reputation from WarBirds, so I don't expect to have any problem being "swat" in AH.
I must suggest tho, that handles must be easy to type, prefereable with the left hand, and easy to recognize on voice comms.

I think the ideal callsign would be one that could be typed only with the left hand, so that someone could keep one hand on the stick and give you a six call at the same time (assuming the guy is right handed, a safe bet most of the time). If I had it to do all over again, I'd try:
ever
wart
trax
frag
greg (hey! that's my real name!)
bart
care
drag
dert
tare
seve
ware
draw
-
I hereby register "Thrmcstr".......not that anybody would think of stealing that handle....
I had another one on half-life that got stolen so when I tried to get on MSGZ for outlaws some guy had pilfered that one.
It was just as if not more obscure....go figure.

I don't know if it is possible to "reserve" the handle for the future?
If it is, I'd like to have the same handle I have in "the other Sim".

Is this handle taken? Since I'm the FNG I would like to know. I don't want to take someones established handle.
-
This is a gas.
I'm taking notes. I plan on setting up 30 or so beta accounts at the buzzer. This way, I can guarantee each and every one of you the handle you want. For this largely philanthropic service, I will be charging a modest fee.
The same goes for squads. Since the AH crowd will be composed of communities from many different sims, many of the established squads might be in fear of having to compete with a homonymous organization. Well fear no more! I'm currently studying the problem and, at beta, will "set aside" the potentially problematic squads. For a discrete one-time registration fee, used mostly to defray expenses incurred, I will cede the official squad title to your group.
Included in both packages is a "laser printer quality" Certificate of Authenticity that establishes your handle as the only official one, FROM THE VERY BEGINNING OF BETA, and denigrates all others as cheap imposters.
This service will be reasonably priced. The base price for a handle will be little more than what you would spend on a romantic dinner and Broadway show. Squad names will cost little more than the average annual squad meet bar bill (after damages).
