I've recently returned to playing W@W.  I've repurchased the game through Steam and everything seems to be working fine except I can't remember or figure out how to get my rank and name to appear correctly in an online profile.  "Special" characters like the brackets [ ], star *  or a period . can't be entered but I see other BK members on our server whose name appears correctly.  Can anyone help me so I can get my name to display correctly on our server?  Thanks in advance.

Open WAW multiplayer options scroll down to clan. There you can add PFC and you are done. Hope this helps. Oh don't forget to add -bk- at the end of your name.

If you add your name and rank w/o saving your profile you will have to start over again from zero . If you haven't ranked up much yet it won't matter . I also suggest you
save you profile every so often in case you lose it. I can show  you how to do that if you like. The best and cheapest way to do that is on a flash drive . Let me or any
gatekeeper know and we'll be glad to render assistance. There's also a fast rank-up server we can show you to rank up faster .

Thanks Scatters.  Worked like a charm.

Thank You Cake.  All help would be appreciated at this point.  I know I'm way behind the curve and very much out of practice.  A fast rank-up server would be a good way to gain practice as well as rank.  Please post the information for me.

This server :
https://www.gametracker.com/server_info/192.187.100.194:28960/

To earn deaths,  just enter as the victim team and leave your machine for  a few hours

make sure your bk tags are  -BK- and not-bk-
in game that is

may your betty's stop the the knifings

One thing on the Archon Rank-up server . Be sure that you follow the rules or you can be banned or get to the point where you owe so many deaths that you can
never catch up ! 1)  never pick up or blow up the bomb (it is a S&D server)
                          2)  never shoot a German  (they are the aggressors, you are bullet bait)
                          3) let your deaths build up as high as possible (so you will be approved to get a good number of kills)
                          4) no running to avoid fire ( the idea is to get killed as much as possible (try to get in the front row where you'll be an inviting target )
 They are VERY stern on their rules  !

  Good luck !

Thanks for the great advice.  I'll give it a shot.
