When you create an adventure in the foundry where does it get the authors name from? Is it the accounts forum name, the account login name or is it something else entirely?

    It will be your Cryptic/PWE Account Name/@Handle (not login name)

    So in my case it would be Ambisinisterr while Zebular's would be Captain_Zebular.

    Just to note, my @handle has a space, not an underscore. It's a legacy @handle from the early days when STO was in testing still.

    It is:
    @Captain Zebular

    Yeah, Foundry Projects are linked to your @handle

    To find out what you chose as your @handle, in case you have forgotten:

    Since NWO is still in Testing, their Account Page isn't set up yet. However, you can double-check your selected @handle by doing the following (I know it's wierd but it works!):

    Go to http://sto.perfectworld.com and log in there. Then click on My Account way up top on the top menu bar. This will take you to STO's specific account page. On the bottom right, click on "Create/Manage Subscriptions" and you may be asked to log in again as well as prompted for an Account Guard One-Time Code. After all that, you will be taken to a Subscription Selection page for Star Trek Online. If you look on the top left, it will say "Hello, <name>" - <name> is your Cryptic @handle, just place @ in front of it and there ya go!

    E.G. That page for me says, "Hello, Captain Zebular" which means my @handle is
    @Captain Zebular

    Once you're able to be in game though (or you can check in CO or STO), you'll be able to visually see your @handle easily so its not easily forgotten once you're actually in game.

    Speaking of Captain Zebular, from what I saw in the MMORPG stream, it would seem that the Cap has been busy in the Foundry.
