Naming the Player is crucial to the Character Creation process. Once the name is set, it cannot be changed (Unless certain items are purchased). The Player name is displayed to other users, which helps others identify the player. It is also used by some NPCs, and is displayed in the main HUD and Character Menu. While most names are allowed, some are prohibited and will not allow the name to be used (along with a message depending on what name is chosen). If the played is having trouble decide a name, a randomizer is available. Numbers, Underscores, Special Characters, and spaces are not allowed in names.
Prohibited Names
Below is a list of names, and the message that is displayed when the user attempts to apply it.
