Invalid Gamername
Star Defence and creating a new Plus + account: When I enter my gamername it says invalid gamername. I haven't yet created an account yet so why is this happening?

Inappropriate?Hi Eric,
Thanks for contacting us. Potentially the name you are choosing is already taken.
I'd recommend trying another. Let me know how it goes.

Inappropriate?I am having a similar issue and have tried numerous usernames with varying combinations of my name, initials, and random digits. It gives me "invalid gamername" every time. I find it hard to believe that all of these names are legitimately taken unless you have a serious spam account problem.
I’m hopeful but sad.

I'm using Plus on StarDefense, latest version iPhone OS 3.0 -
Inappropriate?Try one without any spaces or hyphens. My "HonestAvery" worked fine!
-
Thanks for the suggestion but I haven't used any spaces, hyphens, underscores or other special symbols. I've tried only letter, only numbers, capitalization differences, adding random numbers, all to no avail. -
Inappropriate?Perhaps it has to be a certain length? I.e. 4- 16 characters or something like that. Try either a shorter name or a longer one and see if that helps!
-
Nope. everything I've tried combinations of short, medium, and long length and it has the same issue. -
Inappropriate?Maybe it's just a glitch with stardefense, I made my account on Rolando 2. Do you have Rolando 2? If so try making an account on it, then just login on star defense. Hope it helps!

Inappropriate?Is your iphone or ipod touch jailbroken? I've been having this issue all day and then tried signing up with a previously rejected as invalid gamername choice on my non jailbroken ipod touch and it worked.
Hoping to figure out how to work around this since i need the jailbreak to keep my phone unlocked. -
Inappropriate?Yup...my ipod touch is jailbroken, and I am not having any luck at all registering an account for Eliminate! or Touchpets, both which use Plus+ :( I've tried random letters, etc, but it all returns invalid gamername.
I’m frustrated
-
So if your iPod touch is jailbroken then I assume you got this game for free correct? Developers have ways to detect pirated apps and will disable whatever they can to protect their revenue.
Tough Shit Dude. -
Inappropriate?My iPhone is jailbroken but I don't pirate apps. Eliminate is free, in any case. But I cannot login - it says invalid gamername or password. WTF?
-
Inappropriate?make sure you don't have any apps installed on a jailbroken app that do things like privacy blocking, etc. the change the host files which prevents Plus+ from working
-
Inappropriate?Again this has nothing to do with pirated apps. people need to stop assuming that the only reason to jailbreak is cracked apps. I have over 3 pages of bought apps on my jailbroken iphone.
I’m annoyed
-
Inappropriate?Thanks for assuming that just because I jailbroke my phone for the themes and extra functionality, that I pirate appstore apps as well. I don't, and Eliminate/Touchpet are both free to play in the Canadian appstore.
I will try your suggestion, Luis, thanks, I do have some HOSTS file modifications to block ads on websites. -
Inappropriate?then that is your problem i uninstalled the host file mods and plus+ worked fine. good luck. might want to consider the new ifirewall app in the cydia store, havent used it but looks like it might provide a more precise way of only blocking things you dislike and not stuff like plus+ or openfeint

Inappropriate?happy i could help. I was going to write this up on my blog, but i didn't think that many people had my issue. clearly two more than i thought so I posted it up just in case. www.stitchrobot.com
-
Inappropriate?Yeah, I was surprised actually. Was thinking it wasn't purely a jailbreak issue, since this was about the only link I found regarding the issue, and not many people had it. Cool blog ;).
-
Inappropriate?i do not have a jail broken ipod and i have the issue. Now what is there for me to do?
