Hmm, ok, so no names with spaces, but what about underscores?

And if underscores don\'t work, may I make the suggestion that in some future update, you include a feature that turns underscores in user names into spaces?  As Planeshift grows in popularity, new players will start having more and more difficulty thinking up creative one word names.  Just a thought.

I\'m not sure about underscores in MB but I don\'t think they can be included, besides I havn\'t seen anyone yet with an underscore in there name (then again I don\'t play MB much).

What I understand of the CB name system is that you will create an account which you would login to using your username and password.  This account would then be allowed a maximum of four characters.  Each character would then have two names, a first name and a surname.  I suspect that only the surname has to be unique although I\'m not sure about that.

So in short you could have underscores in your usernames in CB just not in your character name.  In MB I don\'t think you can have underscores at all though I may be wrong.
