Just wondering, since I thought it would be nice if we could =D

On the other hand, I didn't want to try it and be banned for it either =x

By Foreign Language Symbols, I mean Eastern Language Characters, lol.

I think back on the guru you could.

Yes, you could on Guru, but you can't here.

You just got to ask though. But chances are, being that it's such a chore to type Eastern Asian characters on a QWERTY keyboard, the staff won't let you do it unless we go through and make sure that it's acceptable to give you a name with Eastern Asian characters.

But outside of Admin intervention, you can't, because of how much of a hassle it is with QWERTY boards.

And if we do decide to give you the name change to have Eastern Asian characters, then you'll also have to pay an admin the fee to name change plus 5k.

But it's easy to type non-Latin characters using a QWERTY layout keyboard.

What about other languages?

Also, can't you just copy-paste?

Arsik
12-05-2010, 07:21 PM
Well, all other languages (Hebrew, Arabic, Russian, etc.) are also prevented from being used, and yes, we could copy/paste, but meh, now you're going from me being lazy to type in non-Latin characters to Chise changing the system around. So basically, just give up on the idea, become a good, dependable member to where the staff won't have to worry about you, get 15k gold, and hope that the staff will allow your name change. Dx

Remember, it's not guaranteed that you'll get a name with foreign characters. Basically the member has to have complete trust from the staff before we can even consider the name.

That is one roundabout way of saying no, lol. :T_T:

Both? :D

But really, the person requesting the name change is going to really have to be good friends with the staff to even be considered being accepted given it. And by good friends, I don't mean we only show friendliness on the forums, but outside of the forums as well, so people actually do have to get close to the staff in order to get it. Of course, I'm not saying that there won't ever be any future events where the winner can get a name change to anything of their choice within reason as a reward for winning~

Yes. Either Fal or Osay told us to message them after the switch for our gold, rep and pets on guru.
