I think when the game first started, there was a restriction on special characters..but now that EVERY name on the planet is taken, they've removed the restrictions. :P

If you play on Eu realms it's fine, because the alt characters aren't used on US (english) servers -- don't use the alt characters in english.. it is against the naming ToS. I have personally been forced a name change because of it and GMs have told me that alt characters aren't allowed.

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.

That's a common misconception.

[/quote]You should tell the GMs on Mag that then, 2 of my friends just got forced rename last week because of alt characters. lol
[quote='Enti',index.php?page=Thread&postID=75619#po st75619]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.[/quote]
