Problem for first timer

from GalCiv2 Forums
I am a new GCII gamer and have enjoyed whipping up on the computer. I want to play metaverse games but I am unable to make a charachter? I keep getting a message that I am using incorrect charachters in my name ... but I have tried everything. I want to play under the name Genghis_Blak ... but at this point I'd play with any name. Does anyone out there have an idea what is wrong? I have tried more than one computer to establish a charachter. If anyone has an idea email me at [email protected]
Thanks, Jethro

You should just be able to use spaces between words - that has worked for me. What has not worked for me is using Firefox with the Metaverse. If you aren't using IE, go back and try again in IE. That is the only way I have been able to make it work. Good luck!

Seriously? You need to use IE? Who designed such a system?

I use FF and haven't had any problems.

I haven't tried using FF with the Metaverse part of the forums in months. I'm sure that whatever difficulties there were have been ironed out. Still, sometimes it's the user's system causing browser problems, and it doesn't hurt to try with another browser. I actually prefer Opera, but it just doesn't work correctly with some sites.
