"If you can't take a little bloody nose, maybe you ought to go back home and crawl under your bed. It's not safe out here. It's wondrous, with treasures to satiate desires both subtle and gross. But it's not for the timid." - Q
I was lucky enough to just have to add a 0 in the middle....still don't like that I am forced to merge my old cryptic to a new pwe account...you'd think they would have found a way to port over our account info :mad:
But I guess I'll get used to it
I'm going to take a guess here that it was easier for them to transfer selective information into the PWE database than it would have been to actually merge the databases.
Sort of like why all the old posts got renamed as "Archived Post", which, if you look at it in the right twisted frame of mind, makes reading certain old posts highly entertaining.
Basically, they made it as easy on themselves as possible. Which I sort of get, since they're a game development company and not a web design company. They didn't generate any direct revenue doing this.
I lucked out. I gave my new ZEN account the new name (not tellin what it was) and kept my display name the same as before. Logging in is a bit of a pain, but once I'm in I'm still me.

Though it wanders away from the genesis of my account name (it's related to my college email) I just added a second 2. Where I was rtk142, I am now rtk1422. Must say though, I really don't see what was wrong with the old system. C'est la vie.
Let us upgrade the Seleya Ceremonial Lirpa and Kri'stak Blade
I was formally known as Alecto (one of the Furies from Greek mythology, who much like Apollo (in TOS) came to be in the Star Trek IP (via STO but in male form).
My favoured username however was unavailable, variants of the name were unavailable and so after about two hours of trying various username's I decided upon kalecto because I have a Klingon alt in game called Kalec, so I figured adding the K to the begging of the name adds that little touch of Klingon.
If I could use capitalization and apostrophes, I would have probably typed it up as K'Alecto, but alas I/we can not.
I very much despise the changes that have been made here; the entire time thinking of this scene from Star Wars...
My name was the same that it was just with a 1 in front.
Though this is my 3 year old PW account that I have not touched in about 2 1/2 years since back when I tried out some of PW games and found they sucked to high heaven.
WTF second time I've posted this morning and it reverted to the quick reply text grrr
2nd attempt:
Had to add 'the' to the front of my name but never been a huge poster so no big deal, I am liking some of the message to pwe names appearing. Wonder if the mods will do anything about them
Correct forum join and LTS subscriber from date : 27/01/2010

It's somewhat atypical... It's the result of trying to buy a "look closely at the screen BAM-BIG-ANACONDA-ATTACKING" domain and a liter of Vodka on a tuesday at 10 am... ^^
Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...
My new (to these forums at least) name is very different to the old but I think I've landed on my feet a bit here, I'm quite fond of this alter-ego and while I'm sure some of you have a good idea who I was, I'm not telling

Glad you got to keep your name Anazonda.
I'm guessing Captain Zero!!!
*Sorry had to get that off my chest*
On mine, I'm going to keep the first bit in the square (as that was my avatar and name originally) and change the second bit when I want or need to.
And likewise of your ginormous lobes Nagus!

I am sad my join date didn't carry over, I was one of the first joiners on the old STO forums.
also my career officer title is missing...
STO forum member since August 2008! :cool:
I've just been swapped with an indistinguishable duplicate from another quantum reality.
I miss my Tholian avatar.
