While attempting to register my MWO account for the first time, the registration script rejected the player callsign (Chimera) that I selected as being "already in use" without offering any other alternatives. This makes it rather difficult to choose a valid entry. To make matters worse, when I tried to enter another callsign/handle/alias, the registration script kept using the old nom-de-guerre as my email address and would only complete the operation if I used my real name as a pilot ID. Boring, and fraught with potential identity theft risks that I'm certainly not willing to accept under the general Terms and Conditions of this game.

Basically, I'd prefer to retain some measure of online anonymity while gaming and be able to assign my pilot's callsign after registration. Is this possible, or have I missed something crucial?
