ASCII Change - Seems to have be the reverted.

[Gadzooks]

As long as they're consistent.

If they remove the ability to make new toons with ascii symbols, then they should force everyone with the symbols to rename their toons too.
If they allow people to keep toons with the ascii symbols then new toons should be able to utilize this feature too.

I'm fine either way.

I'd be willing to bet they changed it because of all the asshats who used the ascii chars to make naughty names, as they'd get past the filters, or creating names close to other player's names, to get into guilds (Hey, I'm an alt of <someone>, invite me!) and clean out the guild bank.

Anytime Blizzard takes something away, it's because the idiots are exploiting it.

*sigh*

Nothing new here. I can tell by reading the CSF forum posts that Vrak and Orylia don't want to discuss it, which means it's not a popular change, and is probably causing customer support a lot of headaches - and Vrak's abrupt responses says to me, it ain't changing soon.
