    [Glitch] Numbers in name!

    Hello all.

    Yesterday I made a new character on my main realm and attempted to use the "symbols" like the yen sign.

    As you should know there are not allowed, so I just hit create and played with the name without the symbols.

    Today I logged in and found the symbol was not in my name, but the numbers to make the symbol were.

    Screenie below:



    I cant seem to recreate this, but yeah!

    Are you using any font other than the default wow font? I've seen this before and it was only because the font I changed to didn't support the symbol.

    That's exactly what I was getting at. It's because of the font that you see it like that. Everyone else should see it differently.

    from the looks of it to me its not a bug. i've had that happen to me b4 and it was due to more then one character by the same name / spelling so what Blizzard does is add some numbers after the name so it will force the game to make u change your character's name to a different one and will do so upon logging onto your character. you can have it hapen by deleting a character and then making a new one by the same name. log on and request a character restore which they will allow i believe up to a total of 3 restores. after the restore goes through (as they do not change the character's name) you should have a character that has a name similar to this one. if your are trying this its prob best to start the ticket b4 you head to bed / work so Blizzard is not opening your ticket as they will ask u to delete a character if your character slots are full or someone has same name. hope it helps. BTW remember once you log onto that character it will force you to change the name.

    5 restores refreshing every 3 months generally from what i have found out.
    transferring servers resets the limit on the char as well as any "tagged things" like the volcano.

    Excruciating circumstances: they break the 5 limit ruling for hacked accounts.

    Ok so you switch realms, if the name of your char is taken you get some numbers, then you delete your char and get a gm to restore it then.
    Would this lets you now login with numbers in the name and avoid the request to rename your char?

    If you change server and yo name is in use then it does this and adds numbers after it but you have to end up changing it. Why did you black out everything?

    There may be only 1 reason!
    "Private" ... "Server"

    I did not change server, request a name change or anything!

    Its blacked out because its my main account, and I don't want lots of /w or bans.

    Looking for a confirmation on this.

    what Blizzard does is add some numbers after the name so it will force the game to make u change your character's name to a different one
    This is the most reasonable explanation and is probably the case.

    At OP - Don't ask for Rep in your signature. It is frowned upon in the community.
