Thats hilarious. Blizzard has just allowed use of Cyrillic alphabet in nicknames. "Russian" servers (Warsong and Stonemaul, you know :P) gone mad about it.
I always hated people with those scandinavian letters in nicknames like "o" with "/" or "e" crossed with "/" because I cant write it. The time has come for you guys to meet Russian nicknames :twisted:
Good luck with typing it :)
Been/Being removed :roll:
yeh, blizzard sucks. Some people rerolled only to make cyrillic names. I have seen 30+ lvl guys...
Also some people transfered to another servers to change names and what... their names have got changed :(
Why do you use those characters? Does it make you feel cool or something? It bugs me to the point where I never invite anyone to one of my groups if they have odd characters in their name. having to right click their name and click invite is akin to using the mouse to copy and paste. I always use the keyboard for that. Oh well, to each their own.Quote:

On the US servers, 99% of people do it to get around restrictions or to get the name they want if the proper spelling is taken.
Is there a keyboard shortcut to inviting?Quote:

When you right click their name, and click invite, it's quicker than typing in their name...
because you dont use cyrillic letters...Quote:
