but the chances of even 1 of those names being available is slim, not to mention all 6 =P

you can do the alt controls to get some
Eë (alt 137)
iï (alt 139)
A¥ (alt 157)

I don't know if wow likes some of the alts but play with some. It is a double edge sword when you do this, i found that people add me to there friends list alot when they see me to whisper me to run them though an instance. With an alt name unless they know the command then can't add your toon to there list. Other thing is, if someone you liked wants to add you, you have to tell them the alt command.

I know alt 147 does (ô)

Edit: I read a post where someone named all there toons ooxoxoxox, oxoxoxoxo, etc... if you really want to screw with them so they don't know who is who do
oooôooo
ooôôooo
ooôôôoo
ooôoôoo
oooôôoo
they will not have a clue

yeah definitely not doing alt characters, it's against naming ToS and blizz could force a rename of their own or suspend me for it, rather not do that.

[Drizzit]

So my o's are against the terms?

I love mine :>

I'm thinking of making a guild <imabot> to fit with it.

Use your imagination for the other names.. imimba is confusing, imdecent, imverygood etc.

Yes, any names with alternate characters violate the naming ToS and can be reported and forced to change your name.

I'm not sharing names with anyone...it takes me longer to come up with 5 names that aren't already taken than it does to level to 40! 8|

I would like to see your source for that claim. Maybe it is different in the US-realms than on the EU-realms. However, over here we have many people using accents that come with their languages: French, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Spanish, German. All these languages and many names do have accents. Yes, someone on a default English keyboard will have to use the Character Map or type in the ALT+code, but many WoW players have them right there on their nation's default keyboard map.

Searching the Blizzard support pages, I came up only with [url='http://eu.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?articleId=17487&searchQuery=name%20pol icy&pageNumber=1']this[/url]. Searching for 'accents' or 'unicode' shows no hits. Considering that Blizzard does business in these countries and the WoW client does support Unicode characters.

I just named my shamans Ætëam, Ætéam, Æteam, Ætèam and Ætêam, so I have a bit of an interest in the question. ;]
