Wow, thanks for checking Player Lookup, John! Also, thanks for trying my name at the login screen even though you couldn't proceed; it's a relief to know I'm not doing something crazy on my end. I actually checked both that and, as I said, the account info on the secure portal. And I'm going to try logging in using computer braille which is uncontracted, rather than litterary braille which can be contracted. It just seems strange that the contraction for "the" messed things up on the login screen, but not when I tried to create a new character. It recognized the character name at that point. And appropriately said "can't do that". And yes, if all else fails, I will create a new character with a name that has no contractions in it whatsoever. Nexus just never reacted to contractions at this stage before so ... shrug. Thanks for the alert not to use capital letters when creating character names. I'll let you guys know what happens either way.
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.

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
