In light of recent events some of our ascenders have run into a bit of a problem, we are being victimized by a bug that is forcing us to change main realm names in order to complete our ascensions. please investigate

God: Tekki
Main Realm Worshipper: Norbert

God: Jedi~Tank
Main Realm Worshipper: Valume


has also been posted in ascended bugs

Not a bug... When they take our names they take our massings also!

maybe koruption didn't explained well
they take sgw main name copying in ascend and because of that u can't ascend in sgw main only if u change your name
figure if u don't have name left how u can ascend?
is a bug and admin needs to solve this asap

Tekki has ascended several times while Norbert has her name...

You can acquire name changes (market), but to support your point, it does cost way to much simply to be able to ascend. AND many people don't wish to change their identities on Main, simply to be able to continue ascending.

The real problem is not people taking main players names and preventing them from ascending. The REAL problem is that main is NOT linked to ascended. Yet ascended to main.

What you need to request, is for Jason to add a lookup table for the game, where mainID and ascednedID are linked. Eg:
Main Ascended
19024512 5849
46819 1548
That way, it allows the game to instead of looking up the main name on ascended, to see if it is there, but instead look for the ID, and simply update the ascended based on ID, instead of name

Tekki changed her main name to do so.

This is indeed exploiting a bug.

Those that are doing it should be aware that this is a bug and the moment they are pointed towards this thread they will know 100% that they are exploiting a bug. They have no excuse if they don't change their names.

Can I ask one question tho..... those that have a different name on ascended, what happens when you ascend if no-one on ascended has your Main name? I assume it ascends ok, but the ascended name doesn't revert back to what the Main name is?

Ascended name stays the same.

Thanks, just wanted as much detail as i can for when I speak to Jason about the bug.

btw
is a bug abuse

Ok my bad, I thought the admin fixed the bug issue and this was being brought up again....

Valume and Norbert know that its a bug if they changed there names to Tekki and JT...

flash please get the facts correct not that fua use facts much. This is not a ttf thing but a taf thing we found out about this when a few of our members tried to ascend and found someone had taken there name so we decided to have some fun with it and its not all of us that have done it but about half a dozen. As for someone crying bug exploiter get over it, everyone exploits a bug when they find one but only mention it when it doesnt help them. This is war but its also a fun game irrespective of a few players that love to talk smack, so lighten up and get massing

Nice to see someone admitting a bug exploit.
