We decided to switch to real names for the professionalism of our live stream. If we didn't have a live stream, we could care less, but saying "And there goes BallSucker117motox into the lead" is pretty bad when we have 100 people (not all MXS players) watching our live broadcasts! During races we don't live stream, you may run whatever name you want.

As for security, having your first and last name displayed doesn't really hurt anything, as there are tons of people with the same first/last name combo. Nothing about your location is published, so who can distinguish between you and someone in China with the same name?


Naming Convention:
First Name<space>Last Name<space>|<space>Team
i.e.
Michael Wheeler | Race Factory

if you don't have a team, leave it off.
i.e.
Michael Wheeler

If you log in to racefactory and go to the signups page, if you are signed up, it will display what your name should look like(teams may be a little off right now, dont worry about that part).

thx

i figured it had to do with professionalism, and not wanting ppl to use names like ballsucker. but hearing a name like shack sounds cooler to me then a normal name like Brown. plus the confusion of knowing players by there "game" name, rather then there real name. i feel lost watchin the races now.

and about security, i was just wondering seeing as xbl is pretty big about not using your real name in your gt. so i figured that there has to be some reason for them to not allow it, and go as far as allowing you to change it for free if it does have a part of your name in it.

Hey bob, you dont like the use your real name thing? Then dont use your real name. Simple. Quit bitching.

Sorry if I missed this...but since I have no team, I'd just be: Austin Mulhern
Correct? Or can I run: Austin Mulhern | BrutalMX so people know who I issss?

I hate this track so much, riding it isn't even fun its more like a chore.
