AS many of you know if you try to name your character or pet "Blizzard" it will not allow you.
But, if you named your character or pet "Blïzzard" it will accept no problem. The trick is to substitute special characters for letters. The game allows all of the following special characters in names:
ï î è ë ê ç î ì Ä Å É æ Æ ô ö ò û ù ÿ Ö Ü á í ó ú ñ Ñ
(i tested all of these, if you know more, please let us know! )
The neat part is that inside the game it is nearly impossible to tell the difference from the special character to the real one.
name your pet "jackáss" if you want! or "Onyxìa" -- so many possibilities
Inside the game, Blïzzard looks so much like Blizzárd looks like Blìzzárd looks like Blizzard....ppl cant tell the difference.
Better yet, sending you /tells is VERY tough so you will enjoy lots of privacy. Want to have a name that looks like that jerk guild leader? How about a name that looks like the name of the #1 guild leader of the opposing faction?
These characters are all allowed. Enjoy coming up with some creative names for both your pets and your characters.
To type these special characters, hold down the ALT key and on your number pad, press a 3 digit number. ALT 136-170 will get all of them.
Example: ALT+141 will display ì
OR you can just bring up this post and copy (CTRL C) and paste in the game (CTRL V) the characters.
ï î è ë ê ç î ì Ä Å É æ Æ ô ö ò û ù ÿ Ö Ü á í ó ú ñ Ñ
ps. had some fun today with this. Created a new level 1 dwarf named Onyxìa and went to Ironforge. Using the dueling exploit, i started dueling people and they see the message "Xandar has defeated Onyxìa in a duel" lol
