As you can see, my account name is "darkangelgcdarkangelgcxdarkangelgc" doesn't exist.. I realized this when I tried to send my alt a bunch of items and they never appeared in my inbox. Why is there a random "x" at the end of my username once I start playing?? Why is it possible to send items to a non-existent account with no way of getting them back?? I tried logging in as "darkangelgcx" and it wouldn't let me, which I guess isn't a surprise, since I never made that account.. I guess it's not that big of an issue now that I've figured out that I have a slightly different in-game username, but it still irks me because it doesn't seem like this is normal or intentional...

You shouldn't be telling people your login name.
Forum name is a 3rd value.
In fact, I thought the game prevent you from having login name and forum name to be the same for security reasons.
In anycase, just know that your @handle is darkangelgcx.
Did you ever play CO or STO?
I can take guesses about how you got the x.
Pretty sure the login name was new with perfect world but I can't remember.
And the handles predated perfect world.
So maybe you were forced to add the x back in co/sto cause someone else had darkangelgc and when you linked your account to your new PW one you got darkangelgc for PW because you got there before the person who had it in co/sto.
Maybe that person who had darkangelgc handle in co/sto was you and when you created the PW account you forgot about it or it got messed up so you didn't actually link and since it was already taken you were forced to change it and you added the x and forgot about it.
