Having trouble logging into the official multiplayer server.

Post by TheGreatRings »

So its been about three years since I was around here, so I'm not sure if the setup has changed at all in that time. But when I try to log into the official multiplayer server, it tells me that I need a registered account on the forums. Well, I have that, obviously. I couldn't remember my password, but simply reset it and that worked fine. However, when I enter my user name on the forums, it tells me that it contains "invalid characters". I assume this means the spaces between words, so I removed those. It then tells me that that name is not registered on the server.

So I'm not sure how to log into the server. Any help appreciated.

Your username here on the forums needs to be updated to be either TheGreatRings or The_Great_Rings. You can't create an account anymore with space characters in it, but that restriction wasn't always in place.

Thank you. Like I said, its been a good three years at least since I posted here, and probably at least that long since I logged into multiplayer. Things have changed.

Also, apologies for posting this in multiplayer development. Meant to place it in technical support. I appreciate the quick reply.

Edit: It looks like I can't change my user name in my profile/account settings myself. If a moderator could be so kind as to fix it, I would be most obliged.

Thank you kindly! I look forward to trying out the current multiplayer (been resharpening my skills first by replaying Northern Rebirth).
