    ^ Name

    Does anyone know why certain users have their names like " ^name "? Why is there an ^? Why won't it let us check things such as chat? Why has it reset everything such as score and usage?

    Someone said it was the server... but it seems oddly suspicious. Anyother idea?

    Nothing suspicious. It happens when the server loses connectivity with the Billing database. If you exit the zone or come into the zone after this happens, you will get a ^ by your name.

    Your points will also be reset until the connectivity resumes.

    Might take a few minutes or maybe a few hours. I have never seen this last for more than 2 hours.

    Don't be alarmed. Just go take a nap.

      The server also keeps 500 or so of the recent logins, that's why if you were on just before the biller disconnects you won't get a ^ before your name but chats/biller things will still be down for you.

        As said, it happens when billing server goes down.

        Your scores will not be saved, nor will anything else if you have that ^ name on. Also ?chat and ?find commands for example will _not_ work, except if a person without the ^ name is online and you try to ?find him.

        The sad thing on what this may cause, is people to impersonate people, like a person with name ^PriitK or ^DoCk> acting cool at ?go tourny heh.

        Also if you keep getting disconnected, some other person is trying to make the same name you currently have, but this only happens when the billing server is down.

        Sometimes it has lasted a day or two, but usually it passes in few hours atleast.

            okay, makes sense. It's because I logged off and didn't go on since now. ^-^
