PGI would need to set a restriction of only 1 space between names. Spaces at the end of the name does not register.
I will drop into the game a few times shortly to see how it is displaced during a drop.
Each character does generate an account name/code that is unique, PGI will need to tighten some things up on account create then run the names through a program to weed out duplicates and make alterations to those with more than one space between the names.
Johnny Z (of course is it really the real Johnny Z) though should chill a tad and also submit a bug report, pointing to this thread at least.
Now, to set my profile the same as Johnnys and make my signature the same. /kidding.
I can see how this can be abused to create a hostile environment.
Ticket/email sent.
Edited. In game and the profile folder, you can tell there is more than one space. The profile folder is showing 4 spaces.
PS Talk about raking in the cadet bonus and achievements on a new account. Glad there are more trial mechs, and halfway decent ones, than when I first started... approx 700k on the first drop
