Faction Names - Character Limitations

A few Friends (Myself) included are wanting to make a Faction but after trying for several hours we find almost anything that is decent is taken on our server.

Does anyone (GM's) know if the restrictions on 9 characters for a Faction name will ever be expanded? Most other mmos offer 10 or 12 (or even more) so why not let us have them extra few letters here, it would make a huge difference and let newer factions have a chance of making a their name be decent and not the usual junk most newer factions seem to have,

Whats everyone else think about this?

    I think Pet names are in need of an expansion, 8 characters is too low for a name like 'Jabberwocky' or 'WhiteRabbit'. Player names are fine how they are, but other things could use one.

    This 'issue' probably isn't top priority so it could be a while until something(if anything) is done about it.

    Server upgrades FTW!

    faction name numbers are fine. go crack open a dictionary, and look for a random word that sounds cool, and then mash it up into some nonsense word, then voila, guild name.

    its how my cousin made his MMO char name alagmac lol.. based after amalgam and butchered into his own thing.

    Hmmm yah a random word that sounds cool.....

    My friends and I have used the same guild/faction name across every mmo we have ever played, this is the first one we have encountered with such a short limitation on faction names.

    I'm sure its a simple change, can any GM's comment?

    But would it be "Just for me"? Or would it be in the best interest for everyone allowing us to have and use bigger guild names?

    Well I'm sure the GM's dont get many complaints about this, so even if most people Want it, if they're not that bothered about it, it's not gonna happen. GM's have more important issues than that.

    My faction is Apocalyps, not Apocalypse because of such a short character limit. Tis lame.

    It should be one line of code to change, come on.

    Honestly, I'd love to see an increase in the amount of characters you can have in a guild name. Just 2 to 4 more would make a huge difference and would allow for a lot more creativity when coming up with a guild name.
