meh

I have no idea what my 'EA Name' is, and I am rapidly losing interest with EA's pointless account bollocks.

Code: Select all

A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client (ctl00$content$VeteranForm1$bf2_n="<tls>fear").

Nice one EA

Tossers.

(asp.net 2 blocks all posts with tags unless you say otherwise - basic asp.net really)

Edit: They've also made it so I can see their source (meaning it is compiled in debug with symbols) and they have custom error messages so anyone can see the detailed stack / code trace. Complete retards.

Yep, another edit...

Code: Select all

c:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.....

Are they running NT? (or win2k) Not really cutting edge is it.....

I dunno, it worked fine for me, once I remembered what the EA login was (I had made one a while ago).

woo

Got my name reserved.
It wouldn't let me have [5punk] on the front of it though

Post by **Dr. kitteny berk** » August 24th, 2006, 5:51

hmm, it seems they may not allow underscores in your name in game. which is bad

Duke of Ted · Post by **Duke of Ted** » August 24th, 2006, 6:01

i think it lets you have spaces though, i entered "Duke of Ted" and it was accepted

Post by **Dr. kitteny berk** » August 24th, 2006, 6:12

probem is the *site* allows you to use spaces and underscores.

the game (currently) doesn't

Woo Elephant Yeah · Post by **Woo Elephant Yeah** » August 24th, 2006, 7:56

More annoying is the character length (14 max)

Because of this I cannot use the same name WooElephantYeah, and I've had to change it to Wellyphant, as WEY isn't allowed.

If it wasn;t for the unlocks, it would of been completely useless

Apparently my BF2 name is in use by another player.

ME!

Fecking EA...

[5punk]Lat ?

Lateralus · Post by **Lateralus** » August 24th, 2006, 8:23

Yes. The site just clearly doesn't want to work for me.

Post by **Dog Pants** » August 24th, 2006, 8:29

Worked for me, after about five attempts at remembering my EA username. DogPants is secured, position clear. Out.

spoodie · Post by **spoodie** » August 24th, 2006, 9:33

Well that was surprisingly easy for me. The legacy of spoodie continues into the future, maybe I should have picked "Son of spoodie"

Post by **FatherJack** » August 24th, 2006, 9:57

"suckmyballsEA" seems to be taken

Gunslinger42 · Post by **Gunslinger42** » August 24th, 2006, 13:59

I tried to steal Gunslinger but it was already taken, so once again I'm Gunslinger42. I'll add 5punk into the clan tags bit when I get the game.

Post by **TezzRexx** » August 24th, 2006, 14:02

TezzRexx is already taken... WHAT?!

Lee · Post by **Lee** » August 24th, 2006, 14:36

I think EA purposely dont let you have a name unless it has numbers in it, everything without seems to be taken.

Nickface · Post by **Nickface** » August 24th, 2006, 17:21

Even though I won't be playing this game, I have succesfully squatted my name to keep the heathens off of it.
