Hrmm, phrmpf.
Has battle.net recently changed their character naming policy?? Arrgh.
I just tried to create an account for .Barnaby[WM] and was told that "Your user name contained one or more illegal characters" - I created a dummy char to do some testing and it seems that the problem is with the leading ".".
The first battle.net character I created - in '96 - was .Rena; I thought it was clever to combine their "battle" with my "rena" to create a battle arena (or battle 'rena). Consequently, every D1 char since has had a leading dot, as recently as within the last two years.
I read through the ToS for account creation, and visited www.battle.net, but no references to what characters are invalid. Ugh.
Back to DCC for me, I guess.
