Edited by: Tevoda on 16/09/2010 11:15:58 Why is it if I choose a name for a corp which is not registered when checking in People and Places, I will get a error "corp is taken" when I try to register it.
This always happen for names with two words in it, such as "ABC DEF" which is an example.
The names I have tried are not registered as a corp or alliance. Checking with Dotlan, there have never been any registrations with the names I tried.
The Names are not vulgar or profane in any way.

Also the corp ticker could be the cause...
You can always try add like a "." at the end to see if it's registered. But my bet is that there are more tickers taken than the names themselves.

Edited by: Tevoda on 16/09/2010 11:36:27 Actually the ticker isn't the issue. Have to check the char names as soon as server is up again.
Driving me insane.
Testing means soiling my employment history, rather annoying :/

Test on SiSi? I'd say that the difference isn't that big as to active/closed corporations.

Chribba :) since you know more or less more then the average player.
The check done by Corp creation tab, does it 100% for a fact check all chars/corps and alliances?

It has now been a while since I created a corp, but as I recall it, the checks done is:
Is the corp name taken by another corp or alliance.
Is the corp ticker taken by another corporation.
I am not sure if it does checks against character names, but that one would fit in the corp/alliance check if so.

I can definitely confirm that the Character, Corporation and Alliance Names all share the same information. So if there is an alliance or character with the name you want to call your corp it will not work. |

You know, you could come up with something really original, then you won't have this much trouble, like your favorite books title + best trilogy you ever read, which also make for a nice ticker .?

Darn The error message displayed should be improved then. In a game where scamming and cheating other players are allowed, Not allowing a corp name to be the same as a char name is just weird.

Seems pretty sensible to me. Such a scam would screw those of us who play the Eve Radio lottery for example.

Well, using similiar names to scam is however not allowed which is pretty weird too.
