Question about Character creation
Sat, 2009-07-18 22:03
Sorry if this was asked before, I tried searching but I wasn't able to find anything related to it.
I saw that many people got to make their characters using 2 words, one first name and a surname, I tried doing that for a new character minutes ago and I keep getting that the name is invalid...
Is there any trick to get the [space] between the two words? space bar doesn't seem to work. If anyone know, I appreciate the help, thank you :)

Hmm I tried underscore and still invalid name character. As for the Title, no , they were using Raider Hero, and their name was Raider Hero Jin Devil

Try ALT + 0160?

My guess would be a symbol that doesn't register in game, leaving the space, but still shows as a valid character.

yes, that is what I thought Gothrog, so far I tried some symbols but they all said invalid name.
:P I thought it would be easier to ask here in the forum in case anyone knew anything about it. Someone said in another post that they made the name using space bar, and it worked...
So I guess it was a bug that got fixed or something like that =/

Think it is something like 11 or 12 for length of characters in name string and no numbers, not sure about ',-, etc. ....but you should be able to have a space in the name string as long as you don't exceed max length.....My main on Israpehl (sp?) is "meta phrax"....no problems creating it....

One of my characters has a space in the name... however, all I used was the space bar. I did this during the beta before last though, so maybe they changed it to not allow spaces this time around?

So first of all, in regard to length the character names are 10 letters including any spaces. Second of all, I have a character with a space in the name so I can guarantee that it is possible (if you doubt me add Galon Miar as a friend 
).
As far as how to do it I can tell you that I've noticed a few things.
1) Sometimes when creating a name it tells me it's invalid at which point I just backspace the name and retype it exactly the same and it works.
2) Make sure you aren't hitting spacebar at the end of the name... it doesn't seem to like those.
3) Little off topic but it might help; it didn't let me use a dash but other symbols such as apostrophes seem to be fine. You gotta experiment to figure what works.
4) It once told me my char name was invalid and kept saying that for every possible thing I typed. I eventually had to quit the creation screen and start again for it to work.
Hope some of this helps.

I tried playing, but I couldn't figure it out. They didn't do something like use an underscore that wasn't very noticeable maybe? Or maybe they had a tittle that looked like a first name?
The first time I played in beta I saw a bunch of people running around with Tree hugger and I thought they all created the name as a joke. Took me awhile to learn about tittles. Your post reminded me. I felt real dumb after figuring it out.
