How to Make a Character with Cool Letters

[Cyboi]

Have you ever seen those chars with names like ÇÉL? Well this is how they do it. They use letters called Extended Ascii Characters, and all you have to do is find the letter you like from this chart:

and hold ALT and punch in the numbers ON THE NUMBERPAD! (numbers on right side of keyboard) you see in front of the letter than you want, like ALT+128 = Ç and ALT+144 = É. If a GM sees this they may or may not make you change your name, depends on luck, I have seen level 60s with names like this.

Ah, for some reason I was always under the impression you had to edit a file somewhere before you could put alt+## codes in the names. =(

dont you have to do it in your text editor first then copy paste to WoW when creating a char?

Also, in case you dont remember the numbers go:
Start Menu > Accessories > System Tools > Character Map

lots of letters to choose from.

you shouldn't need to edit any files to do it, but keep in mind that the characters are marked as ilegal and almost garentee you a name change by the time you hit 60. Also might be important it is frustrating to get party invites and be added to people's friend list as well as guilds.

Isnt this a bit tasty for scamming - particularly in situations where you maybe reported or have other players try to knacker your reputation ?

You wouldnt have to change it unless a GM is gay who some gay reported yu too (Sry if thats offensive to anyone, but its a habit, and i dont mean anything against homosexuals) OR if you are on an RP server


Also, yes ive seen obvious scammers (Level 13s selling EPICS?!) with names with these in there

Well apparently, people use Trading chars, or AH chars.

They make a lowbie char and leave it in a main city and just mail anything they get when playing or raiding. Then just log on trader char to do the business in town and mail money back to main.
