I was just messing around with the create a character thing and I put in the following name and got a message that said it contains an inappropriate characters

Crystal Gw

Any ideas other than GW? Or are we seriously not allowed an ambiguous acronym?

Nah, it's probably the GW part.

Agreed, it's most likely in place to prevent people from becoming victims of those posing as GM's and such.

Yeah, agreed with Tatile. Somebody with the name "Gw Admin" (although admin is ALSO a banned word) would abuse the system (give me your password or I ban you type stuff). Or, "Gw Officer" "Gw Pr Rep", etc etc

Same with some spaced out letters like G for G M.

There is a list of words/sylables reserved for the developers. "gw" is on that list. Move on.. no big deal.

Yep, I'm sure that's it. And now, before this turns into yet another thread about names, I'm closing.
