  • Usernames, numbers first?

    I'm suggesting to allow people register usernames in-game with numbers first like 1amyzingman or 1python64? Allow this would really help I think!

    Correct me if im wrong but i think that this has a reason that you cant reg with a number 1st so the server can detect bots automatically.

      I'm pretty sure this is impossible as numbers (1,2,3 etc.) are needed for the player id which is assigned when a player joins. Commands can be used on players using their ID or Name, e.g. /pm 1 or /pm Nick123
      So names with numbers at the start would conflict with the player IDs.

      Say if there is a player: (Id:1) Name, this would conflict with someone called perhaps (Id:2)'1NameHere2'.
      If a command is used on that id 1, e.g. /pm 1, the result would be (Id:1), as it looks up player id as a number, and also the player '1NameHere2' as a string.

      Basically numbers can't in the beginning of nicks, as numbers are reserved for the player ID when they join.

        How about 305?

            Yep guessing he did have a tag since numeric first characters aren't allowed in nicks..

            Anyways numbers are reserved for the player IDs, that is why nicks are not allowed a number as the first character. I don't know if its possible to allow this (or worth the time coding it). We'll see what management decides

              As already mentioned by Nate numbers are not allowed as first character due to the way most commands work where you can type an ID or part of a name.

              So if numbers were allowed then there would be no way to distinguish between:

              1MyName (ID:2)
              MyName (ID:1)

              /ban 1 would not know which player to ban.

              So for now we won't allow numbers for first character of the name.
