hi guys just wanted to bring this to your attention.

It is important that your forum name and in game names are the same,
i know most of us have identical names in game and forum but it seems there are a few who have changed the names from the name they joined eGO with.
this is easly rectifyed by filling out a request username change form in the my account tab.
or click this link

This is important so you can be traced back to you for awards and promotions.
if a member needs to contact you and they search your in game name and its not the same then nothing comes up.

Here are some guides to help those people.

Make sure your in game name and forum name are the same. Capitalization doesn't matter. .
We do not allow any special characters in forum names or in-game names. We define a special character as one that cannot be typed on a USA keyboard without alt-codes. Standard non-alphanumeric characters ($ % & ! “ { * etc) are allowed but should be kept to a minimum.

The name must be eGO appropriate. We are more strict on the names of members than we are with our pubs: there are gray names we allow pubs to use that we would not allow members to use. If you feel a name is borderline... feel free to ask an Advisor or Division Leader about it.

No tags in names. No =(e)=, =(eG)=, =(eGO)= tags in forum names under any circumstances, other clan's tags are perfectly fine in-game names, as long as they come after our tag.

Keep in mind that the user name you choose could be contested by a current member. Current members can contest names by placing a message in the Drop Box. Recruiting Division Leaders will make the call on all contested names.

hope this info is helpfull
many thanks

I've noticed this in other divisions (mainly CS:S) too. Even small things like people adding spaces or removing something, I've always thought it should be identical.
