No, in baseq3 the first character of your name may not be black. An example of what works: ^7*^0Coolblackname . If you want to put a white ^ in front of your nick you can just type: ^^0Blacknamehere
Btw, don't use ^8 for black but ^0 instead. The official range of colour codes is 0-7. 8 shows up as yellow in OSP, for instance.

You can't in baseq3. Only in mods like OSP/CPMA/RA3. In baseq3 that first character doesn't have to be white btw. It can be any colour, except black. :icon32:
