Deekin thinks his name look a little funny, maybe!

[Deekin FaithfulKoboldCompanion]

As the intrepid kobold companion continues his journey, he begins to wonder... why he not gets account of his own?

So Deekin make one!

... but the funny poster-board here made Deekin's name looks all funny!

So Deekin was wondering if he could get one little extra letter, maybe, so his name doesn't have to get scrunched up all funny. Deekin understands this is not always possible, but Deekin feels that kobolds gots to ask, or else nobody knows!

To be a little more clear, I'm exactly one character away from "Deekin Faithful Kobold Companion" or two from "Deekin, Faithful Kobold Companion" - I didn't know if anyone had the ability to make that happen or not, which is fine, either way, but I figured I'd ask! Thanks, regardless of the answer!

Your name is at the character limit for message board aliases.

[Deekin FaithfulKoboldCompanion]

Yes, Deekin is aware. That is why Deekin gots to asks! If Deekin's name not be at the limits, then Deekin wouldn't needs to asks! Silly dragon.

Do you like pie? Old master like pie. Did you know that Deekin is a dragon? Well, a little. He gots some dragon blood in him, though! Just don't asks Deekin for the time. The poster-board says it.

So what you're asking is 'can the character limit on message board aliases be increased'? Might have more possibility of an answer, either yes or no, if the question is asked in a simple and straightforward fashion.

[Deekin FaithfulKoboldCompanion]

Deekin is thinking that you be a very silly dragon, maybe. Deekin is pretty sure that you is missing important contexts, and are seemings kind of prickly as the results, like the pretty red haired bard lady.

But that be okay. Deekin is willing to sing the doom song in order to help make friends! (It be one of Deekin's most popular songs!)

"Deekin sings you the doom song! Doom doom doom! DOOM! Doom! Doom doom doom! DOOM!!"

"And the sound of doom was nigh! Doom! Doom doom doom! DOOM!!"

By the way. The above? It's a character alias. Hence posting "in character" - it is not an attempt to troll or frustrate you, but rather simply posting as Deekin talks and as he thinks. Please take it in that context. Follow the link if you have no idea who Deekin is. Thanks.

You're at 30 characters right now, and you're able to add one more character, for 31. I'd expect that means there's a 32-byte field assigned in the database for the account name, with one byte reserved for... reasons. Increasing this would mean adjusting the database schema (down-time), and everything that talks to it. That means work. Not ludicrous amounts of work, but work. End result: people with excessively massive account names, because nobody would do the work for a 33-byte field (with 1 reserved). It'd be 64-bytes or something.

[Tacticslion]

Ah. Thanks! (See, I'd no idea how that works, so...) :D

Peace!
