Why PWI, Why?

Why can't I log into my old forum account and use the same username as my character like I did in the old forum? I cannot change my screen name in ARC to my character name thus I can't change my screen name to my character name in this forum. What a disgrace.

Because it's linked to our forum accounts now rather than every last character having it's own forum name. At least yours is pretty close.

And then there's people that have to deal with their embarrassing usernames they made when they were younglings.

Fortunately, you aren't one because with your sig and avatar the name totally fits... if we pretend that Horo just happens to be a veno and can be both a cat AND a fluffy wolf... and fox!

Haha, well... XD I should have picked an alt account too... but.. my other accounts' usernames aren't that much better.

Good thing I was posting on default even back when I wasn't a mod so I'm COMPLETELY unaffected either way.

Lucky Duck. I'm glad I'm a mod so I had to make a new one anyway. But a bit disappointed my cleric can't post anymore.

Quiet, you! Look at how I don't need to match your post count anymore!

Yea, pretty much same thing here. Although, toward the dying end of the old pwi forums I tried to switch to post on my main characters name, and it kept resulting in database errors. This name isn't that bad but I wish I could post as my main, orz.

Actually I registered a new account just for this name. My username includes my real first and last name which is something I don't want made public. I had no idea what I would name my character when I registered back in 2008 or 2009. This username just happens to be the same as the one I use for the star wars mmo I haven't messed with for a year. I suppose I shouldn't complain about it much.

I had already lost my Shulkie details a while back on the old forums when I tried to update her avatar and ended up with my account reverting back to it's default, so I had my rage then over lost titles etc
