One of the first things you'll need to do in this game is choose a name, first a family name and then your first character's name.
There aren't many hard and fast rules. However, we can offer you a bundle of guidelines:
- Do not use offensive names. That is really more a rule than a guideline, and characters have been deleted for clearly offensive names.
- Both your family and character name should be proper names, not nicknames, handles or code signs.
- Use proper spelling, no 1337 5p34k or sy|\/|bols.
- In case of doubt, err on the side of common and conservative names.
- You cannot use any non-English characters. You may meet some players in-game with special characters in their name; these characters were created before this rule came into being.
- This is a low fantasy genre game, names consistant with the genre will make integration of your character/family to the game more seamless for yourself and others. Remember everyone loves a good name.
- Your family name should be a real family name
