Character names

Source: View source Version: Announcement (2026-09) Review: Source checked Last reviewed: 2026-09-17

Reviewed 17 September 2026. The announced naming format is documented; the character-creation validation rules have not been tested here.

Forever character names have two parts, with names unique within a region.

Preparing a name

Prepare several complete names before using the creation or reservation interface. Treat the two-part announcement as a format description, not a guarantee that a particular spelling is allowed or available. For access and reservation information, use the dated Beginner guide.

To help friends find you, share the full name exactly as displayed and agree on the group's ruleset. Avoid substituting an older realm-name format without checking the Forever interface.

Documenting naming rules

The wiki needs the actual character limit, accepted characters, and full rejection messages. An example screenshot should show the relevant field labels and validation result; a successful example alone does not establish the maximum length or every permitted character.
