"Name can only contain letters?"

by IvoryOwl92 » Tue Mar 01, 2016 10:11 am

I would like to know if its possible to add accents to our character's names.
I want to play a troll and some of their names have single apostrophes ( ' ) so I was wondering if its at all possible... I've done a little research and apparently its kind of possible to do in retail using ALT codes or copy-pasting said symbols unto the name but... so far I've had no luck. Am I doing something wrong or its just not possible at all?

You cannot have apostrophes but you can have things like è, à, î, etc.

And nobody will invite you to groups if you use those.

Because the special characters make it so much more difficult to right click the name and click "invite".

You only need to invite people that are infront of you?


Player 1: Anyone know a tank?
Player 2: Yeah, I can't type his name though.

Apostrophes and spaces are commonly used by english-speaking people, yet you're not allowed to use either of them when naming a character. How come its ok to use accented words but not these? The english vocabulary doesn't even use accents! It should have been the other way around IMO. :S

People who name their chars with special characters outside of the standard A-Z is a cancer.
