I am rather dissatisfied with the current limit with character naming, which is supposed to be 2 - 14 characters. Back in RO1, I was allowed, not only to have longer character names, but I was allowed functionality like spacing. I was wondering if that could be something expanded upon before the full release.

Hello!

We are trying to change this as soon as we can. I also had the same problem myself!

Sorry for the inconvenience and will let you know when this has been fixed.

Because of it, she's HelVerdan instead of HelVerdandi.

Not even being able to have numbers in our name is ridiculous in itself.

You can have numbers. You just can't start your name with a number. Which is weird.

No, that's a name that that would work fine here. But I'm not talking about the current bug, I'm talking about the actual set limit itself.

For example, I want two of my characters to be named "Swordsman Brextor" and "Swordsman Brextora", exactly as you see written. Back in RO1, this was very much doable. But on this one you're limited to only 14 characters tops, and no special characters like numbers and spacing.

It's a variable-naming convention, though probably not the intention here, but hey, new fact (or old if you've performed some level of programming).

One day we may get spaces, though probably not one anytime soon. At least an extension (or rather, a correction) to the limit is being worked on.

Excellent! I hope it will be long enough for me to use my intended names!
