# "name already in use"?
  • CheersCheers
    I'm trying to do some creating this morning. I always just use the # sign in the name box and create away. Tried this morning and it says that name is already in use? I've logged out and back in. Anyone else having this issue?

    That happened to me too a few times. I think it means someone else did the same # at the same time you did but pushed the create button first. Or its a glitch. Bet its having a hard time keeping up with every one pushing the create button like its going out of style.

    I just started putting a letter after # and no issues then.
  • CheersCheers
    Ok. Will try that

    If that didn't work, there were problems a little while ago with people using random numbers for a horse's name and it was the ID number of your create. Not sure if it's still possible but just in case :)
  • CheersCheers
    Always before it's just generated a nonsense number instead of the right ID number....but the letter worked!

    One time I was doing this with my horses, using the #, but for one of them it changed the name to #! No numbers, just the symbol. It may have happened to someone else which is why you can't use it.

    This person has to delete the name of this horse before it will work again. This happened once before...

    @Goobanni it was with me I believe....I left the name on the horse for about an hour so Ammit could see before changing I think.

    I just search for horses named # and the foal above came up....A few months ago this happened to another player and Ammit told the person to delete the name and it should resume as normal. :)
    Just a small glitch
