There are two changes with this sync involving new player signup and respawning after death/dropping.

 

Changes to new player signup: Name Approval Step Removed

New players are now assigned a random temporary name when signing up, so they can immediately start doing the tutorial without having to go through a name approval wait.

In order to finish (or skip) the tutorial, new players are required to have set an approved character name.

There are other changes to how name approval works, you can now submit multiple handles for approval.

Characters with temporary name will show up with a "(Temporary Name)" suffix in some places in the UI, and factions are notified with a faction event when a member applies a permanent name to their character.

This change is aimed at reducing idle waiting after signing up.

 

Changes to respawning characters: Immediate respawn with restrictions

Characters that drop or die can immediately create a new character without having to wait for the respawn period to elapse.

The respawn period of 21 days still exists, during this time a respawned character cannot:

- Leave the tutorial system.
- Join a faction, send or receive credits to other players, receive or be assigned assets.

These respawn character game restrictions are covered in the life and death rules.

 

Thank you all and we apologize for any confusion.

Please note: the tutorial system is meant for new and returning players, any changes you make to your character in order to play there will not be undone if its implementation changes.
