Are you certain your notetaker isn't translating a perkins keystroke into something else (like an exclamation mark if you're using the "the" contraction)? Maybe try spelling it out fully, and remember to avoid any capital letters.

Your character definitely exists:

Player 'coralthewolf', last login Sat Dec  9 22:40:00 2023

and entering the name gave me a password prompt.

You can also try creating another character if you like: there are no limits on the number you can create, and most people actually have more than one to try out different combinations of the classes.

I redownloaded Nexus and changed the port back to 3010. But still got the same "invalid name, try another" response when I tried Coralthewolf. And yes, that is the correct spelling. So it looks like my stay on Alter was a brief, but enjoyable, one. Thanks for all your help Jude and John. I know I could sideload Tintin+ but I just don't feel comfortable fiddling with files that I don't understand; I'm not a coder.

   I will change the port, but I can't use MushZ because I'm playing on
   an Android notetaker. I prefer its perkins keyboard to any qwerty one.

       The mixed-up characters you're talking about are ascii art.
       Change your client to point to port 3010 and they will go away.

       If possible, using mush-z is your best option for playing Alter
       Aeon.

       Thanks, Jude, I'll try that. Nexus hasn't been updated since
       September of 2023 and all it said under what's new is
       cominterface fixes" whatever that means. I'll try the re-install
       and see what happens. If it works, fine. If not, Alter was fun
       while it lasted for me. The rest of the machine and all other
       apps work beautifully. On Jun 18, 2024 10:04 AM, Jude DaShiell

               I haven't played Alter in about 6 months. When I tried
               to log on with my character name, I got the message
               "invalid name, trx another". So I tried logging into
               their secure login portal on their site. This worked
               splendidly and my account info looked just fine. So I
               went back to my client and tried to re-create
               Coralthewolf. I got the message "name is already in use"
               which of course, it is. So the game itself clearly
               recognizes the character. But after closing the app
               completely for several hours I got the same "invalid
               name" message, even though I know I'm typing it
               correctly. The only thing I can see that might be
               strange is that at the very bottom of the screen, within
               the client, are quite a few lines of code: numbers,
               letters, quotes, question minks, and the plus sign, in
               several configurations. I have no idea what, if
               anything, it means. The only understandable lines say
               Alter Aeon v2.25 or something like that. Has this
               happened to anyone else? Any ideas what's going on?
               Should I try to create a new character and if that one
               logs in successfully, try to log it out and log Coral
io? Thanks for any responses. Heather
