Clave Dark 5 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Simple question: how many characters can we have in a name? I used to know this off the top of my head, but the last couple of times I pushed it, turns out I was wrong. I could check by logging in, sure, if I was at home right now. Thanks!

Roderick Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) 20, any number of spaces, one apostrophe, unlimited alphanumeric characters (within the max length), no other characters, not even accented letters. SG names are longer, and allow more non-alphanumeric characters, but I don't remember the limits. Edited February 7, 2020 by Roderick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clave Dark 5 Posted February 7, 2020 Author Share Posted February 7, 2020 Twenty, really? I could have sworn I had one get cut off at eighteen or maybe sixteen. But this is good news as the next one I wish to use is eighteen - thanks!

Roderick Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Definitely 20. I have a bad habit of coming up with names that are 21 characters long. It's been a long standing frustration. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roderick Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Right. I rarely use those in names, so I'd forgotten those were available too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clave Dark 5 Posted February 7, 2020 Author Share Posted February 7, 2020 Having double checked the name for one of my masterminds, Capt Sam's Space Zoo , yeah, it has to be twenty, Tim "Black Scorpion" Sweeney: Matt (Posi) used to say that players would find the shortest path to the rewards even if it was a completely terrible play experience that would push them away from the game... ╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ Clave's Sure-Fire Secrets to Enjoying City Of Heroes Ignore those farming chores, skip your market homework, play any power sets that you want, and ignore anyone who says otherwise.
