We've made a couple changes to how gangs and nicknames work on Era.

Nicknames are now more reliable. When you use setnick (which you can use without waiting 10 seconds now!) to set your nick, the nick will remain even if you reconnect, or if your nick is changed in an event, or whatever.

In addition to that, gang tags are now permanently on for all gang members except in events and spars. We hope this will help make gangs more competitive and visible.

To avoid long names with stuff like "*Accomplice*" in them, we've also removed ranks from gang tags. Ranks are still displayed in a players' profile. This means that you no longer have to deal with setting your nick, then /gangtag, etc. after events. It should be a lot easier since your nick is always set automatically.

To change your nick, you can still just use "setnick".

Staff and business members: to take off your tag, just use "setnick" with no name. We'll probably add a more intuitive way to remove it in the future.

If you've got any questions, I'll be happy to answer them. We're going to see how well this works for a day or two, and then get feedback from the server to see if we should keep it, adjust it, or revert back.

Please hold your whining for at least a day and give this a chance. If the server doesn't like it, it won't be permanent.
