Language/name problems

Post by Drey Jol »

Uhm... I'm afraid that my name will not be accepted. I just learned, much to my dismay, that drei means three in German. Can you tell me what will happen, Galdriel?

Well, then create a new character and send a new account request, i think that´s the easier way for all parties.

I think it could be accepted because there are a lot of names that are derived from real words in varying languages.

I'm not sure, but I think that "two" in german is actually spelled Drei, or so I am told. And its a really great name, too. :cry:

three = drei

two = zwei

Sorry, but it doesn´t care, wether you like the name or not, The name rule say no real words, and so it´s better you scearch for another name, if you want to accepted.

Is Drey a good name? Close enough to Drey, and it doesn't seem to be bad.

I reapplied with the name Drey. Is that okay? And is there some way I can change my board account name?
