OK after a lot of thinking I decided to play MGO and it will be the first Online game I play since I like playing SP games only. now I installed it and it asked me to make two different IDs seriously this is unnecessary one user ID is enough I know Konami is using their own server but I think they could have make it much easier.

Do you know why Konami made it this way?

This was intentional. The GAME ID is the one you are making for ...well... the GAME.

because it's the super-awesome-funtime way to do online.

what's fun about not spending a couple of hours making up random names and passwords that meet "alphanumeric" requirements and that aren't taken even though there is no way that goddenmonstermaster15454546545644 is?

Gah! Don't lie.

When the Konami ID site launched, Japanese gamers immediatly flooded the sites and tried to take every name possible to hinder any efforts of Americans trying to play MGO. :lol:

MGO is fun to play but it's a scam and a ripoff. That's the real reason it's setup the way it is.
