It doesn't affect anything right now at all, but GMs used to change names with ASCII characters almost without question for the first 6 months of WoW. I'm not sure that it was ever a part of the official rules or not, but it happened so often that it became part of the common community understanding that it was against the rules. You will often hear old time WoW players refer to it and insist on it, though the proof is difficult to obtain since that was four years ago. It's not a myth that this was enforced - I swear on my life that it was.Originally Posted by 'Tehtsuo',index.php?page=Thread&postID=157578#post 157578
If you read the post, the words "used to" are pretty clearly left out. Also, Blizzard has not announced they are putting it back into the naming policy.
It's been said it used to violate the naming policy. Sometime around BC they removed that clause from the naming policy, and now they're putting it back in.
Actually you won't have a hard time convincing me. I remember seeing it in the policy way back when, and I was surprised when heard it had been removed. I'm in the same boat not having proof, but I don't think Blizzard would deny that it was once in the naming policy.It doesn't affect anything right now at all, but GMs used to change names with ASCII characters almost without question for the first 6 months of WoW.

Note that this blue post actually is from 2006, so this "rule" was enforced by some GMs even years after release. My experience with the game says that I didn't see a lot of ASCII names running around until just after the first expansion.
