Cause someone stole my username on the paradox forum ages ago...
So I couldn't sign up to this game when I got a beta key last year :P

It's a good thing because giving up the name Nzrock would probably force me into a very deep depression

Whilst I do agree it's a pretty funny obsession with having ones "original" nickname there are many people who take it highly serious. It's actually the most common Salem complaint I get via our support channels.

Is that a challenge? :lol:

Seriously, though, people can feel free to search on me. I've been using this handle since the mid 90s. (And if you search hard enough, you might find a few posts in rec.games.magic.) I don't think "highly annoyed" would describe my state of mind if I got "name jacked".

the last time someone used my name (fairly common now depending on the game) i activated an account specifically for the game he was playing, infiltrated his guild, stole his guildbank and disbanded said guild.
