    Cant have 2 characters with same name.

    Try... Sheyde_ or add something else to it

    And when you turn you around, you see yourself on the ground.
    And for the first time, no one cares just who you really are.

    It's not possible. Most likely what you saw was a character with a name like taking advantage of similar characters such as a capital I looking identical to a lowercase L in game.

    dont think u can make the same name on the same server. It might look the same but there would be a difference.

    Example could be: Bowlinbob the cleric and BowIinbob the new character. (capital I's and lower case L's look the same ingame.)

    Technically this has never been possible, but I know where you got your idea from. What the other person said about L's and I's

    In game when you make names like EIla it looks kind of like Ella because lower case L and Upper case I look almost the same.

    Therefore, if someone had characters names EIla Ella EIIa or ElIa they would all look very similar.

    A good way to do this is by adding a lower case x or i infront of it


    like the name i have xKiyoshi the original Kiyoshi was taken so I added a x people still call me Kiyoshi or Kiy to shorten it no one uses the x

    Adding any non English characters into your name is not a good idea. Your game characters will need to be deleted if they are found to contain letters that are not permitted.

    That would really bite if someone worked real hard leveling their toon before they got deleted.

    I know I would be a sad panda.

    My archer Izabeau is married to my RL bf's archer, Lycaeon. He also has a lvl 80 veno, Karmosin. So I made a "spouse" for Karm, lzabeau. So now Lycaeon is Izabeau's husband and Karmosin is lzabeau's wife.
    Had sooo many ppl confused with THAT marriage announcement, was spammed with tons of whispers

    That happens to me all the time. I have ppl trying to pm me, but they don't spell my name right. They put a lowercase L in place of a capital i. Seriously, if they had any common sense, they'd know that hop toLt doesnt make sense and hop to it does. Sorry but that just drives me bonkers. LMAO b:surrender

    This isnt possible. It's illegal to create character names that can not be typed out on the Standard U.S. Keyboard layout. This rule doesnt apply to pet names or guild names, but since we often have to type out player names to comunicate with that, it is not allowed for player names.
