Name of your character

Will it be possible to have the same name as another player? Some mmos havent figured out binding names to a users account rather than a server is a good thing to do. And will we be able to have surnames?

As far as I am aware each character on a server needs to have a unique name.

Nerror

From the wiki:

Characters will have a first-name and an optional surname (last name).[10]

Character names are unique per server.[11]
Character name changes will be possible during server merges.[11]

There is a minimum length of three for a character name.[12]
Special characters, including apostrophes and hyphens, are currently not allowed in character names.[13]

Currently we don't allow special characters in character names (including apostrophes and/or hyphens). It's possible this changes in the future.[13] – Ry Schueller

Character names will appear on the character sheet and optionally on the character website page.[14]

In-game a character's name is displayed above their head. This can be the first or last name.[14]

In other Words : in Ashes of Creation WILL BE possible - what wasn't possible in for Example World of Warcraft since now nearly Twenty Years.

Family Names.
Families.

You can for example make :

- Guybrush Threepwood
and
- Elaine Threepwood

It is so very simple and nothing really big if one thinks about it. Yet it is a Form of Freedom that not even WoW gave it's Players since Years over Years over Years. I like it.

the $375 Voyager Plus Pre-Order Pack includes a name reservation perk if you want to be really sure to get the name you want

Edit: this comment is for the OP in case they were not aware of the option

I am aware.

Is Anyone knowledgeable about if " Extra-Signs " will be allowed ? Like an " î " - instead of an " i " ?

Or an " ô " instead of an " o " ?

Because when i remember - "once AGAIN" -> World of Warcraft, the Amount of People i saw with similar to LITERALLY the same Names : and then in some to many Cases the Names were only different because of the Extra-Signs they used in Combination with the Names,

i sometimes saw Three or "FOUR" clearly different People -> with different Races and Classes ingame,

running around : while actively always having the same Name. It was silly and ridiculous. 😅

Name Reservation and so on is neat,

but it will be quite the Limiter of that making a Difference, when People who haven't had the Privilege of Name Reservation, just put an Extra-Sign into one or several Letters of the Name : and then have the same Name again. 😅

At the moment alt code aren't allowed. (Things like ł,ß,æ,ö etc.) We will just have to hope it stays that way.

Sounds awsome!

As said, it is so easily done, and unneccessery for players not to being able to have their fav name.

Kind of defeats the purpose of having the premium voyager pack which offers Name Reservation doesn’t it
