"NA" at the end of my name?

Why is there suddenly an "NA" at the end of my name and how do I get rid of it? I had the name first. So why did it change?

Thanks dude!

Well, it might be temporary - if there's an active Euro player called Markus, then he'll be Markus_EU, then there'll be a problem with trying to sort out who has the "right" to the name, I think.

I would think it should be the player who had it first by date. I had it first (since beta)

It's temporary. Ocho has spoken.

The mods will supervise a knife fight to the death and the winner gets use of the name, and the loser chooses a new one.

Or there will be a civil discussion between all parties involved, but that's less fun.

One should be careful with the Knife Fighting, you could end up with a KTD!

No I have the right 'cause I had the name first. If someone else had it first then they should have it, but I surf the EU boards and when I used to search for "Markus" no name came up.

Also i am not American.

Heh, I'm in the same boat here. I also got NA behind my forum name.

But now that I'm thinking of it. I got a free EU account, with a month of play, a few years ago and probably registered on the EU forums with the same forum name that I've been using here on the US forums. I haven't logged in on the EU forums since then and unfortunately I can't remember my EU forum login and password. Hopefully this can still get sorted out.

Same thing here... although vice versa.
I'm an EU player. Alot of nice info that was given by the Devs was unable to me (links) so I registrated on the US via a trial account, under the same name.
Thus I have the _EU tag behind my name.
Hope as you do that the endtag will be removed soon.

That's not really true either. Other people can use the name, but they are the ones who should have to modify it as I had it first. I shouldn't be the one to modify it.

Obvious - since no proper American would be caught with a filthy letter "k" in Marcus.

Uhm..."Marcus" is Latin......dedicated to the Roman god Mars.....just FYI. Also Canadians invented Basketball. Apple pie was invented by a German woman, and the concept art of Superman was also invented by a Canadian.

I chose the K because I thought it was more appealing to look at, but both Markus and Marcus were used when the name originated.

But that was an awesome way to classically demonstrate American ignorance

Geez, does nobody read the CoH website, or the announcements? Or, search? How many NA/EU questions, and questions about "How do I change my forum handle?" (you can't), when these questions have been proactively addressed by the devs?


Q. Just wondering Posi, where are the new dance emotes we were told would come with GR?

Just razzing you.

I know about alternate spellings. There are four common alternates of my name. One of which include multiple letters not seen in the other three.

My EU counterpart did reg on these forums before I did though I have been playing this game since 04 and he/she joined the forum in 05. If they go by reg date I'd have no problem with it. Though they have 0.0 posts and if they haven't posted at all I doubt they ever will.

Well they have zero posts now, they may have had numerous posts that have been purged over the years.

Purged posts still count toward postcount.
