The lack of ability for a ' in names also ruins my ability for naming my Lalafell character Eriol O'Carrol as I had wanted. Oh, I don't see how they couldn't have done this in a setting with lots of language relying on these characters in the first place. Like the sever naming, there are all sorts of setbacks for some people, including character naming. A character name is just a name, but like other things, it has an effect of immersion. And is even a bit more important than the other in that you are always surrounded by the name of that character and in a roleplay it is especially important to have something impressive. I just couldn't stand having a name I wasn't absolutely comfortable with and I spent several days thinking of mine.
I hope I'm not going to be told something like "it's just a name" or will be considered creating drama again by saying I'm fairly disappointed in not being able to an ' to my character. Naming really is more important that people give it credit for. And character naming especially is very very important to me. Luckily I think I at least that aspect of thinking naming to be important with the rest of the group, this being a roleplaying Coalition, after all.
In any case, all that being said, I'm still a bit leery about saying I'm disappointed in something to do with names on this website anymore. So know that I am not trying to cause drama when I say I am a bit disappointed to find out that I can't use a ' in character names. Though whatever someone might disagree, I would have to say that it is my firm belief that as a person who likes roleplay, you cannot possibly make too big of a deal about at least a character name. I would stand my ground to say that character names are very, very, very important.
I suppose I will have to name my character something like Eirol O Carrol or Eriol oCarrol instead. Which one do you think sounds better?
