It should work fine. As far as i know, it goes 3 nicks per serial, but anyone can use the nick as long as they have the password.
|
Thats good to know, now, can anyone explain why I was listed about 8 nicks I am allowed to use? Did I register before securities were put in place?
|
Yeah, I have the same impression: the security has just been instored and the ones who have more, took them before the security was put into place  .
I'm pretty sure it would be good to reconsider these 3 nicks per serial though :-S. For exemple: one nick for my clan's snipe renegade clan, one for my AOW Renegade clan and one to run a server. What if I want to run more than one server? What if I forget the password of one of my nicks? Also i like to reserve my nickname Goztow with 0's in place, to avoid copycats (yes, popularity problems  ).
It might be a good thing to do at the start as Xwis prolly noticed many people registering all kinds of nicks that will never be used. But wouldn't it be more helpful to let people register the nicks they want and free the nicks after 3 months of non-use? Would also help the a00000 - nicks come clear when someone owns lots of them.
just a thought .

I registered mine and my 4 buddies accounts (1 right after another) so they didn't get grabbed last week and it didn't give me any problems.
In the event that it is the case (as I suspect) that you can register as many as you want this brings up a serious problem that is already effecting some servers like Jelly. I will get into that in a more private forum as to not give any ideas.

I've read through the replies and not sure why people view this as a bad thing. What I would like to see is a kick to the head for all cheaters. If you are caught cheating you get your serial banned, no questions asked. Or having a reporting system where a server operator does a !cheater nickname and when you get to 5 you get a boot to the head: never to be let onto WOL/XWIS again.

*Quickly registers 5 nicks and uses the !cheater command to ban all Renegade players.*

that is a good idea... NOT
Example: I have a server named "bla" you joined it, i don't like you, I type !cheater "you" and now you are baned from XWIS for me not liking you.
Example 2(happened to me): I was playing on a server a n00b joins and starts bi*ching that i have all the guns, server is modded and it's not hard to get all the guns. I explained to him how i got the guns, the mods 2 in-game tell him it's server mod not a cheat, he bi*ches some more and then leaves. Next day I join a server he was in and the owner was hes friend and i was baned for cheating on the other severe he saw me on. And I'm baned cause he was a n00b and didn't trust the 2 mods telling him it's not a cheat.
I'm against cheating and just as much against banning of players from XWIS entirely. I don't think a server owner can be trusted to XWIS ban anyone for any reason, SS and logs can be faked.

Correct. How many times out of ten is !forcerg used on an actual cheater, not just because a few n00bs can't handle getting owned? It'd be the same case.

HUGE PROBELM NOW!
Ok, so I logged on to my trooprm02 account, everything worked fine,(I got a list of servers etc), BUT then I let my bro go on his trooprmJR account, and it said "serial has been marked invalid!"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So I switch back, and I'm unable to login on my trooprm02 account!
|
^READ CAREFULLY
First off, my bro just started playing renegade yesterday (online anyway), and I was there and he didn't cheat! The other thing, My account worked (NOTE: WE HAVE THE SAME SERIAL!), so it is oviusly not a cheating probelm 
I really need Blazers or Crimsons help because I'm sure many people have talked to them about a similiar problem. Oh and its not cheating because the guy said some regulars, that means he knows them and they don't cheat! So other people are having the problem, the only question is how to fix it!
