In every Delta Force game I have used the same name" ~Møü§E~ ".
There were at least 5 other mouse using different hexed names.
If you wanted to report a cheater, all you had to do was send a screen shot to nova showing the offenders name.
What is complicated about that ?
When the new naming policy came into effect I was lucky to get " MOUSE ".
The others had to change there names.
OK, having hexed characters is not essential but being able to use the normal keyboard characters to personalise your name is a fairly basic feature. e.g. *mouse* , ~mouse~ , @mouse@ ........
Anybody remember "WE WANT OUR NAMES BACK" on the nova forum ?
I finally got a response from nova.
All the reasons for changing the naming policy to catch cheaters could have been solved quite easily.
I got the impression that the main reason they changed names was because there new fancy forum system could not handle hexed names.
Most gaming companies have realised that the more a player can personalise there character, the more the player will play the game and purchase other add ons & games from the same company.
Time to munch a shroom and chill out.
