• Screen names and gang names must be unique, so a new one must not be the same or very closely similar to one already in the game.
• Choose your screen name carefully, since it cannot be changed later.
• Gang names can rarely be changed, so choose them carefully.

Most importantly:
Player-defined names used in the game may not: be racially or ethnically or sexually derogatory; contain profanity; suggest an affiliation with a real-life hate group or figurehead. They may not impersonate a member of Darkwind team. Alternative spellings will be viewed with the same scrutiny as traditional spellings.

Violation of these rules may result in a mandatory name change or ban at the discretion of the Darkwind team.
