    I think the language should be allowed but not the names. That makes it really really hard to send a message to someone.

    I've seen 2 in japanese, one all kanji and one with 1 kanji 2 kana. Russian works too (at least on MY), but I haven't seen any here.

    No... it doesn't. You can click a name in chat to pm, or right click them on the nearby players list.
    Learn to play. This game has a pretty decent UI.

    before everyone gets all bent out of shape and starts flaming this as a hate post...its not just my opinion..

    These symbols in names and guilds should not be allowed. This is USA international, if you want to make your names like that they have Malasia international. And one can argue that ya its about the international after the name...but still its USA. Maybe a poll would help the gms decide if they havent made a ruling already?

    Second. I think the "International" in the title is more of a courtesy (lol America) than anything else. This game does have IP blocks to certain countries, after all. This version is available in English only, and I feel that only Latin characters should be allowed in names and titles. I also think non-Latin characters should be banned since some people's computers can't display them properly. Same with the cutesy symbols like stars.

    Yes it does. Try sending a message in guildchat saying 名称不能打字 is pk'ing near orchid.
    Or try posting their name in a forum.
    Or just try remembering it till tomorrow.
    Learn to consider all the possibilities.

    Also the USA is diversed into many languages, not just your American english even though it's the main language. :(

    I tried copying and pasting chinese characters, gave me boxes, dunno how to type chinese characters >.>

    And you're wondering why people only want Latin characters allowed in-game?

    to add to the list of grievances,
    these non alpha-numeric make reporting their illegal actions harder, as well as for GM s to track them down in game..
    expect all gold-farmers and hackers to be using complicated symbols in their names..

    Please just enforce the IGN and the Guild name are in English, it is easier not for chating, but to post that name ouside the game, more important to understand what the heck that name means?
    About the special Alt Key in Guild name, it is ok for me as long as you can still refer them in normal character, and those characters make the guild more spcical , like noobieclan or thesun like...
    Edit: Dang it ^^, they don't allow Alt key in this forum either... Support those character please ><. Just warn and ban who don't use English here only.
    Why...so...serious?

    I don't think its the comp, I think its the game. I can display chinese characters finely but it just doesn't work in PW.

    I'm sorry if I offended you in any way, I am learning the game this is my first time playing it and its only in CB. But please respect me and dont use such rude manners when speaking with me. I do not do that to you.

    Is it because you've gone so far beyond polite that you can't even recognize rudeness anymore?

    It was an unnecessarily rude reply to a question.

    I for one have no problem with any character set. Let everything that works be allowed. Everything doesn't have to be my business. If I can't read it, oh well, so be it. It must not have been meant for me anyway.

    If you don't want it in the guild, don't invite them.

    Haven't seen korean names, may or may not work. Just try it.
    I do know japanese is not fully supported though. I can use star from charmap but not the stars returned by typing "hoshi" (on PW-MY anyway), and 姫 won't display either, shows up as a square while other japanese shows fine lol.

    It's something to do with the comp, I never had a problem displaying russian/japanese/chinese with my non-unicode language set to japanese. If you're set to english or some other language, that could be why. Who knows, I've seen random computer bugs that make no sense at all, especially when concerning asian text.

    Oh well. I know that Ren is playing a Japanese named char right now on PWI (白レン)and one of my 3 characters is Japanese named as well :) (東方新起) well more like 东方新起 lol but still! I dunno, I don't plan on being a PKer so :P It's also to stop annoying people from whisper/trying to party me unless they know to right-click my name :D

    No, I meant sikozu post didn't make any sense for me, the quote and respond...

    As for the language thing, my computer is always set to English but some games I can easily paste Chinese letterings, etc only PW turns them into squares, maybe its a setting or function I have to change.
