[Announcement] Driver Accounts

DRIVER ACCOUNTS

The Administration have decided to introduce driver accounts. We hope that this will make things easier when chatting OOC, knowing which admin to contact and also when it comes to FPP. Your driver account will become your main/master account, with all of your characters linked to it. Your character accounts will still be used for posting IC, the driver accounts are purely for OOC boards.

You do not have to have a driver account if you prefer not to, however we will no longer be allowing the switching of FPP main accounts from one character to another.

You may create your driver account, using the name/nickname that you like to go by, now, but we ask at this stage that you [cas]do not attempt to reset your FPP or try to claim posts during this transition period[/cas]. There will be a further update advising how to go about switching your FPP to your new main account.

There will also be a further update about moving across your badges.

Any questions and comments may be posted here!

SO AWESOME! *___*

The account name "Emily" is already taken?
curse my incredibly common name

Will I still be allowed to post OOC without a driver account?

(Sorry Cas for the panic)

Maybe do your last (or middle) initial as well as the username? Then you can change your display name. ^^

similar question -- is it allowed to create a driver account but set it as a child account to my current main?
so maintaining the current main but using the driver account for things like special events, betting on quidditch teams, or making sickle transfers?

(In the future) will we be allowed to transfer our shiny badges to our main that aren't character related?

Yes, but as I said in the announcement, we'll be doing a separate announcement about that later on =)

I wasn't quite done setting it up for you, Emily. Try now and tell me if it's still not working.

@Éilís Healey

No - if you create a driver account, that will need to be your main account.

still won't work ;;-;; says the username/display name has been taken
I don't need a driver account if it's too much trouble.
Thanks so much @Taed for setting me up though!
