Servers Not Allowing Certain Profile Names

Recommended Posts

ok, this is weird.

I click on a few KOTH servers on the server browser and a popup comes up and says: You were kicked off the game. (BattlEye: Admin Kick (BEC: Your player name cannot contain any of the chars:{}/\^'"|)).

what is the deal with this??? my profile name happens to have a ' in it and now im restricted to just a few servers?

I tried making another profile of the same name but without the ' in it, and joining the same server in a different profile makes you start at level 1. i'm currently like level 20 in KOTH (in the one server that lets me in) at the moment. I don't want to have to start again.

can someone please explain this unfairness?

this is done to make it easier for server admins and moderators ingame. its a major hasle to have to type a name that has special chras in it (because some keyboards don't even have them) and to make sure the servers are nicly moderated this was done
