Toon with diaeresis in name can't receive invites!

My main character has a ü in her name, yes, I curse the day I chose that name. Basically every time someone is trying to invite me, a message pops saying "player doesn't exist" (I'm not invisible). I met another guy with the same problem, I was wondering if anyone else had this issue and if by some miracle there is a solution.

Since the dawn of time I've been sending tickets about this issue, they didn't even answer last one, they just sent me the survey link.

I think others can invite me with my user name but sadly in the middle of pvp or with world bosses I can't be asking them to do that. You can imagine that not being able to get invites is quite troublesome in a MMO. :'(

Thanks.

    So...not that I think you should have to pay real money to change the characters name but that is now an option. I would recommend keep submitting in game tickets and reply to their replies. I have heard it takes alot of perseverance to get through. Good luck.

    We've moved this post to the general help forum. You should reply to the last ticket you submitted advising you still need help with the renaming of that character due to a special character within the name.

    So rather than fix the system to work with special characters they just have you change your name? It's like when they told players to avoid Orsinium instead of fixing it.

    Players in PVP would intentionally use special characters just so people could not whisper or report them. I even saw players whose whole character name was special characters.
