Illegal character name - Guild Wars Forums

HigherMinion · May 24, 2009, 03:31 AM // 03:31

So someone in my alliance chat created a new character, right... Which actually defied the system of using "Caps On Each Word" It was all on lowercase.

I am absolutely baffled how this was even possible. Anyone care you explain?

I was about to ask for the name, but that's against rules. It wouldn't happen to be something along the lines of "lowercase larry" or something, would it? They're using the letter "I" as their first letter, which shows up similar to a lowercase "L".

I can't think of any other letters that act like that off the top of my head, but there could be more.

Haha, Ragnarok :]
Most people use the capital I's to make it look like a lowercase L, I'm pretty sure that I is the only capital that can look like a lowercase.

l = I is really the only way.
