So I’ve been trying to delete one of my characters. His name is 20 letters long.
When I hit “delete character,” it prompts me to type his name then after that type “delete” but my problem arises because the box can only hold 19 letters. I can’t even fully type the name of my character, let alone the additional 7 characters " delete"!

Help?

Oh wow, I haven’t heard this one before!

You should let support know, top of the page, so they can help you and add more space in the box. I bet you wont be the only one walking into this.

Edit, just checked the wiki and in the section for creating a char it say’s a name can only be 19 letters max to begin with. So then how did you get one with 20?
Either way, it’s weird.

You need not type the word “delete”. Only the character name itself, after which you click the delete button to confirm your decision.

Oh, I is having a reading problem again I see. Awkward…

Auruan is right!

You only need to type the name, the hit the delete button. No need to actually add the word delete!

But then we are still stuck with a char name that is 20 chars long, hhmm

Maybe he is miscounting since he is adding the word delete to the name. The space between the name and the word delete would add to the count. Pretty sure the 19 characters is a hard limit to the name length.

It is impossible to have a character name 20 characters long, as you can not type that many characters into the character name space. Either someone is mistaken, or having a bit of fun with us. =)
