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.
- Think twice before using special characters. While BattleMaster allows you to use language-specific umlauts or accented letters, many players will not know how to read or pronounce them and might feel irritated or confused.
