So, I'm not sure what happened between then and now but the capitalization in my First and Last name has seemed to have disappeared. It's not a big deal in the forum but, as I was filling out the questionaire for beta, I noticed that the "pilot name" I had reserved seemed to be missing it as well. Is this correctable? I'm kinda a stickler when it comes down to my nom de guerre (real names, no numbers, ect) so I want to be sure that the name is going to be displayed properly once we go live.

Thanks for the time!

PS- Yes I did capitalize it when I initially made the reservation AND when I filled out the forum info. That is not a mistake I would have made being that I am, as aforementioned, pretty neurotic about the format of my names.

Yeah. I couldn't find it either. Maybe I'm not hitting the keywords right or something. It's weird. I did sign up like, right away. Wonder if they transferred the info from one database to another and it wiped the format or something.

I don't know. All I know is that I'm pretty firm on my formatting. I even use the ' to signify that I'm shortening a word; for example: 'cause when implying "because". I seriously doubt it's something I did. No biggie. Just hope I'm not stuck with it.

Well, this actually has come up a couple times. It's in the "Off Topic" -> "Web Support" but the thread was both pinned and deleted. I guess I'll link this thread to that. Glad to know I'm not the only one.

Semicolons and colons used correctly? Apostrophies and ending punctuation outside of the quote? This guy is serious about his grammar!

;p What are you talking about? Semicolon devises a break, followed by a related sentence/statement. Quotation marks are used correctly. I mean, if I were writing a sentence, punctuation wou... wait a second! You're trolling me!

I remember a while back, on the canon names issue as it related to units, player based merc units with canon names recieved intial news that their unit names would be all lower case with no non letter characters. So ====_cLaN_=_wOlF++++ would be clanwolf as opposed to Clan Wolf which would be the npc faction which could not be player controlled. Perhaps some of that code is still worming its way thru the works every time Paul kicks a server?

I started another thread asking why the original capitalization correction thread was deleted here:

http://mwomercs.com/...ization-thread/

There were quite a few of us who filled in the requested information to get our capitalisations fixed as requested:

Kyle Polulak said:

There was a small glitch effecting a portion of users who signed up during a certain time-frame. Your pilot names were lowercased along with your email address when it should have been just your email address. The issue has been resolved, however some of you would like your capitalization back. This topic is where you can request a change.

Here is the process:

• Post only the correct capitalization of your pilot name. Posting anything other than just the correct capitalization of your name will be deleted. Your name cannot change from 'name' to 'Please change my name to Name.' No other characters other than your name must be in the post.
  
• Absolutely no name changes will be permitted.
  
• Once the process is complete your post will be deleted to keep the topic clean for other users. Once your post is deleted, the process is instant. Refresh your profile to see the change.
  
• Any posts that do not follow this process will be deleted.

Just to reiterate, only capitalization will fixed in your name. Adding removing characters/spaces is not part of this process.

But now its gone, and I dont know if any pilot names actually got changed ?

Maybe you all could show some support in my thread ?
