If your screen goes blank every time you start it up, go into the file you downloaded it to, and click the setup button. Just in case it happens to anyone else.
I know a lot of people who have different names for a lot of different things. Maybe if we were talking about a MMORPG based on The Way, then it would be safe to assume that your name would be the same as The Way forums. And if this were the Maple Story forums, then it would be safe to assume your name was the same in game.
But it's neither of these things.
So, asking what your IGN was, was a very valid question.
As for channel 1 being the only channel you could join... You should be able to join up channel 14. I don't know the answer to this problem either, it might be a locational issue.
