I hate how it says my name contains "invalid characters"... Stupid website, they should have allowed all the characters that BF2 allowed when you create your name...

Use MonkeySlayer and add evil as your prefix
You have to learn the rules of the game and then you have to play better than anyone else.

I bet once 2142 comes out, people who haven't used the veterans program can you [ and ] and be able to have longer names.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Electronic Arts. I’m sorry for the difficulty that you are having with The Battlefield 2142 game. We know that you are having a hard time to get the Veterans program working and we do apologize for the inconveniences it has caused you.

If you are not able to reserve a nickname or are getting errors such as 'The screen name you have entered already exists in our database' and/or 'Please correct the error and try again', there are a number of steps you can take to improve your chances of reserving a nickname.

■ Make sure your nickname does not exceed 14 characters as this is the limit for the length of nicknames in Battlefield 2142.  Do not include your clan tag in your reserved name (you can add this to your nickname once you are in the game) as this may push your nickname over the character limit.
■ You name must consist of alphanumeric characters.
■ The name you register cannot start with a number or symbol, it must be an alphabetic character.
■ You must have at least 4 characters.
■ Your name can only use underscores ( _ ) or dashes ( - ).
■ The name cannot start nor end with a space.
■ You cannot use doublespaces in the name.
■ If the web site is receiving high traffic, you may want to try again at a later time to ensure your request goes through.
■ If you have tried your nickname at different times without success, your nickname may have already been reserved by another character.  You can reserve a different nickname and you will still receive your Veteran Status even if you nickname does not match your Battlefield 2 nickname.

Should you require further assistance about this or any Electronic Arts games in the future please visit our website and review our extensive Self Help knowledgebase (http://support.ea.com)

Thanks!

So the whole point of the veteran program was to reserve your nickname so lamers couldn't squat it (or so EA said) and now they're saying that the reason you can't get your desired name is that someone else may have already reserved it. WTF.

It's bad enough having to shorten stuff to 14 characters, but when you can't carry on your name that just blows.

Anyhoo, managed to register DrFruitloop so there'll be many dogtags flying around with that on, and registered a second account of sum_coont for later shenanigans

They should have given this info before we registered! Shouldn't they?

Use MonkeySlayer and add evil as your prefix
"BF2 Soldier Name already used by another player".

Fuckers.

EDIT: Just tried my alternate name that I sometimes use. That's taken too. I call BS, that's a pretty rare name. I think their DB server is messed up. You know what it is Mackum, mentioned it to you when you were thinking up new names to use.
EDIT2: Well, signed up with EvilApeKiller, nowhere near as good as my original name though. Stupid EA.

hell knows I am going to play the beta with a different account and name than the one I have registered for the full game. beta accounts are going to be wiped once the game goes gold anyway, so who cares ?

less than 40 days remaining. As usual, EA is on a tight schedule
