Title: a question about names
Post by: steuben on December 26, 2004, 09:53:21 pm

sorry if this has been answered in the faqs or else where on the fourms. or even if it is pretty self evident in the character setup. i\'ve been at work since the release, and haven\'t had a chance to install and run cb.

as i assemble the bits and pieces of my character, how have the rules about naming changed from mb. i know a first and last name are required. but what else?

There are no rules for the name. But you schould make it a fantasie name, not something like \"the funny man\"

Your character name MUST contain a furst name nad a surname. Try to add some more medival\\fantasy climate to the game by chooseing a \"NORMAL\" name. Don\'t write \"kick me\"  or  \"abc xyz\" because that\'s just stupid.

i meant aside from the obvious. first name last name, fits in context etc.

i was refering to stuff along the line of punctuation, spaces etc.

I think you cant use ponctuation, nor those AE and other wierd letters, havent seen anyone with them so far...

No underscores, dashes, and ironically, no more than 2 capital letters. :P

I feel sorry for \"Tom Dern-Halfle\" - if he existed his name would be invalid. :D
