QUESTION for HBS - The Issue on Callsigns

[NeonKnight]

First, MODs' please do not merge this thread with the countless others, as this is a direct question, but I also want others to see it.

QUESTION:

Is this issue a lot of us are encountering when trying to set up our accounts for multiplayer and getting the message "CALLSIGN ALREADY IN USE" possibly a holdover from when there was the BACKER BETA/CLOSED BETA/SUPER SECRET BETA from last year?



Based on a lot of the threads I am seeing, it is hard to believe that so many people are having issues with Callsigns, especially for some of the more unique callsigns I have seen. As it stands this early with the release of the game, it would probably be my #1 guess.

Anyway, I am staying positive and thank you for a wonderful game so far

It could just be the server is slammed and the callsign is logged, but confirmation and activation is delayed. For example I had this same problem creating my account on a forum once. It solved itself with time and the error notice was a false positive. We will have to see what they find though.

If this is the problem, I hope those of us that made new callsigns and used our backer code on them can get that transferred to our old ones somehow.

It could be, but that would suck for a lot of us who were forced into callsigns we did not truly want.

HBS set the standard for Game Support during the Beta, every single Support Request I had was handled in a timely, efficient and effective manner.

I hope Paradox upholds this same benchmark of excellence and works to assist in Account adjustment.

I dont pretend to have any informed clue myself ATM as to the cause of any idiosyncracies.
Other than its pretty busy...

I think HBS is trying to handle server load. Because I can picture this:

Mitch: "The servers are melting, get everyone back in the office so we can get our game launched."

Someone: "What do you mean everyone?"
