Hytale is sending out emails which allow people to register and reserve usernames

Tip: The token they ask for to reserve usernames is actually the query parameter in the email link

I used to use a username, for like 10+ years, but had a "personality" use the same name and become popular. That was before Twitch blew up, so I can't imagine it is any less common now. I saw in the Hytale FAQ that they will claw back names that popular users use. I get it, but also it is strange. I guess that is the world today, everyone wants to be a brand.
yeah I've had my nickname that I turned into a username used by a vtuber so people kept thinking I was referencing her instead :/ no I've just grown up with the name, but now I can't even use it
I feel like famous people should have to just use their real names instead of having control over specific usernames.
Still a lil skeptical and waiting to see if they actually release it, but cool to see some progress regardless
It's releasing next month, so you won't have to wait much longer.
Wait shit actually? Didn't see that yet, that's cool
I know almost 0 about Hytale. I played a lot of Minecraft but never interacted with their stuff. I also never got into minigames outside of the old school Mob Arena plugin.
All that said, this looks really cool to me. I've wanted to see something build upon the foundation of Minecraft. Now even more so with MS murdering developers left and right at the alter of AI. I have looked at Vintage Story a few times at length, but each time I walk away thinking it looks way too hardcore for me.
Oh, it absolutely will be cool as shit if it is actually a realized thing, and I'll probably play the shit out of it, it's just been in development soooo long and had so many problems that at this point if they get it done great, just not holding out my hopes too much.
Vintage story is interesting, I do kinda like it, but imo terrafirmacraft, the Minecraft mod/overhaul the devs originally started on, is much more polished. It is different from VS, and there are things I like more about VS than TFC though.
It's reserved for 60 days and the reservation can only be locked in by buying a game.
*54 days
yikes. some folks really hate security.
Its probably more they just want to let streamers and people get their names instead of being impersonated. But yea, security usually falls by the wayside.
there are streamers that hate security‽
Managed to snag "Blister" which I'm happy about.
