Name Length


Clave Dark 5

Recommended Posts

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!

Ignore those farming chores, skip your market homework, play any power sets that you want, and ignore anyone who says otherwise.
This game isn't hard work, it's easy!

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.

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!

You are also allowed 1 question mark, period, or dash.
