Might be that the acc is made in brasilian version

[Cor7y 13,862]

 

 

It's not a glitch - it's just that the the system would check the nickname availability from the INT and Chinese servers(I think BR servers too but not too sure on that). The system will search for the nickname you attempt to register with from these servers and if there is a match found, you wont be able to use the nickname. :excl: Bear in mind that I'm referring to the registration panel as the "system".

 

Since other servers haven't introduced the nickname update yet, they have inactive accounts holding up nicknames pointlessly. The nickname "America" must have been taken in other servers/versions of the game which is why you can't use it in INT servers.

 

I also checked with customer service about it - they said that nickname availability must be checked through the registration panel instead of friends list

 

This is from the BR version of TO:

 

 

 

 

Look, the user America does not exist in the BR version either. Also note that I am using my main's name (Mr.Sarcastic) as the username.

 

 

 

 

I couldn't register an account in 3dtank (Chinese version of TO) because I don't know what it says, but look, the username "Mr.Sarcastic" is available to use.

 

 

 

 

But look, I can't register an account with the name "America" in the Chinese version either.

 

 

 

 

 

So this is not true:

Is TO music copyrighted? And if it is, what if I recreated the melody of the songs with different instruments? Would it be illegal for me to put that into a game that is non-profit?

 

It says here that the name "America" is already used.

Then this nickname must be blocked... perhaps someone with this nickname attempted hacks or cheats.

 

It's either that or it's a glitch. Have you tried contacting tech support? What was their explanation?

[Guest Maserati]

So........ tech support guys weren't helpful this time much, will using VPN to connect to some country in europe then connecting to Tanki servers' get my account(s) blocked??

Yes, if multiple IPs are registered on your account which are different, will lead to your account being banned for sharing, as another person could also be using the same IP. I hope I made this clear, if not you can contact me in PM.

question about gold drop's

 

ok are they random drops or are they placed where you wanted them to go..?

 

the reason I'm asking is cause i bought them last night for the first time and was dropping them but it never asked me where I wanted them to go

.. also i only had one drop where i last was .. in other words i was at one of the normal drop locations and i hit #6 button , then i looked down and saw the gold spot beside me..for all my others when i hit it the locations they  were all over the place .. is this normal or what .. only cause when you read about it in the v-log / forum its suppose to drop where you want them to go .. so not sure ??

Gold boxes drop randomly among a variety of drop positions, you can't choose a certain place for them. Maybe you were just lucky to have it dropped beside you.

What's the meaning of PNAU?

VPNs are allowed. There is no rule banning them. However, I would advise caution, because there are associated risks, due to the switching of IPs and other factors.

Hello!

 

According to the Home page and the announcment when I logged in, there is a sale on microupgrades. I know that I might have missed yesterday as i was not on, but i know that the day before yesterday I was and no discounts were present, this narrows it down to a bug. 

 

Provided is a link to a screenshot of my garage as it sits. I won't spam with screenshots of every tank and turrent, so I will show my garage area of m0's (currently only m2 i can get is freeze)

 

while I can't afford any right now, others may have this issue. And If I did, I wouldn't get the discount as advertised. 

 

http://screenshot.sh/m8ZIWZtm96MVw

 

it shows a 10% discount that I got by upgrading to a m1 the other day plus occassional discounts it gives me randomly, when spending crystals. 

 

The sale will be over soon and highly doubt it will be resolved but want to let it be known I was not included. 

 

Thanks

If you do it anonymously, then they don't know who dropped therefore you can enjoy the rush of a gold box drop and "try" to get it, if you succeed you succeed! 

 

To me it don't seem sabatoge or anything, a gold box is a gold box. Yes it is Nice to let someone else have it, but if they aren't putting the effort in then why bother letting them? 

 

Now if you announce it, don't take it or on a special occasion like christmas, drop one let someone else have it.

Thanks I was quite confused lol 

[SHOAIB.ZAFAR 402]

It says here that the name "America" is already used.

 

 

 

Yet, when I try to send a friend request to "America", it shows that the user "America" does not exist.

 

 

There are many more nicknames that we can't register with, for example "CTF", "TDM", "NCS" etc.

And we can't have a nickname which has the word "hacker" in it.

 

Why is this?

 

Username is not in use but its unavailable.

[Cor7y 13,862]

I tried it in the BR and Chinese versions, doesn't work.

Read my post carefully ok

You can get it if you ask to change your nickname to it

[ihasapopsicle 6]

I used paygarden to buy crystals and used two gamestop gift cards. In the paygarden feature, does it take off credits from the store gift card (in my case GameStop) or does it leave the credits in the gift card and trade it with crystals. Note- there is a message before buying the crystals to never use the gift card after purchasing crystals. I just want to check if anyone has used this payment feature and knows if the credits have to get taken out or not.

What paint is this? I remember it from somewhere, and I don't think it's made up.

[Darren4Turbo 4,913]

It's an Easter Holiday paint for Brazilian community. It was available for purchase during the celebrations, however it doesn't have any protective attributes.

Is there an age restriction for moderators?

[beaku 2,656]

Is there an age restriction for moderators?

Nothing which is specified except for battle mods and chat mods (18+). For the rest, age limit is subject to many other factors like attitude, maturity, etc but generally, 15-16 would be the limit.
