Invalid Character Name? ? ? ?

Nemesis7884

I get the invalid character name error but i dont understand why... the name shouldnt get in conflict with any of the naming conventions - it is a name made up of 2 words (dont want to post the actual name here but its something lie Crushing Waterfall as an example)

Nothing obsene or anything - just 2 words that make up the name... if i put a - between the name, so Crushing-Waterfall as the example, then it works, but without - it doesnt.... which confuses me since i have other characters with a First and a Last Name without any - in between...??

Any help would be highly appreciated

Does the ending of the first word and beginning of the second create a new word that might be banned?

Does one word end in g and the next word start with m?

Don’t forget it’s possible that the name is taken by another player.

At any rate, use alt characters or other punctuation to make it unique and (more importantly) acceptable.

no then it would say "name already taken" not "invalid name"

Game thinks it is GM for game master.
Put a hyphen in between see if that works.
Known issue, their code that checks is dumb.

If only their code could check for white space between words! lmao

Might not be that its offensive (unless some combination of letters makes an offensive word in another language) but could be the name of an NPC in the game. Even if they aren't in the live version, could be in the games code and preventing you from using it.
