Under 4 character names - Playb0y - Oct 7, 2013

Is this a rule that is taken seriously? Because if not I would really like to make mine into a 2 character name. I may need help with finding a working invisible character also... ✌

I am fairly certain that 3 characters was the minimum possible (limited by character count script) and that it may have been ed to 4 characters minimum.

Names must be at least 4 characters. He removed the ability to make 3 or less character
names, so now all 3 character names are special and can not be taken back or retrieved after
you lose it.

4 characters is the minimum. I would have gotten something 3 lettered if it were available.

You can use special characters, but I wouldn't bother. Omni hates them, members hate them, and whats the purpose, to have a fun looking name?

Ok, I'm going to lock this, I just wanted to know; because I wanted the name "64"

Technically there is no rule about this. Simply a setting which a few circumvent with special characters. Sometimes I ask members to change their username.
