It's possible to allow players to include special characters in their names. Perhaps players could unlock this through turtle shop as a reward? It'd be neat to have surnames or names with apostrophes.
Thoughts?

Re: Names with Special Characters
Yes, this can be enabled. However, names with spaces would cause unexpected behaviors like being unable to whisp that player.
Re: Names with Special Characters
Bump, can't you limit the type of special characters allowed as Retail/Classic does?

Re: Names with Special Characters
I can see why this was done to prevent character with lame copies of names. Legolás, Legoläs, Légolas, anyone?
I think doing it on a case by case basis would be fine. As it is, I'm happy it prevents lame variances of names. And we still see such variances and misspellings anyway.
Were it on a case by case basis, we might see some RP appropriate names such as trolls with apostrophes in their names. I'm all for that since npcs already do that and it's very in flavor of the game.

Re: Names with Special Characters
Special characters in name won't be added.
It can cause too many issues. For example: it will break lot's of addons(and it won't break it just for you the user, it will also break it for other players that need your character's information.)
