I dislike having to create a separate account to play this game. Using twitter still requires a separate password and account to create. In firefox the game loops when clicking create character.

Hmm, not seeing the looping issue you are referring to in Firefox. The game is an MMO, so we need some way to keep track of your player and sync with everyone else.

With Oauth you should be able to use a twitter account as your account without having to sign up.

supply a user with a random handle, "player1912381271", later allowing that user to switch to a personalized handle from within their UI.

the actual player identification for gameplay determined via a token of some sort, generated upon first interaction.
