name length?
static deathbringer
what is the max length/character for a character's name?
Tur713
No idea, what do you have in mind?
BlackArrow
The number I heard was 18 characters including spaces. I did use a char that had 18 letters plus one space though, maybe they changed it without telling anyone.
fawgre
I tried "Zhealin the Theurgist" and it dropped the last three letters. So that's.... 18 characters, which varifies what BlackArrow said.
ETA: It might have actually been two letters, or one. I currently have a character that's "Zheal the Theurgist" which I think is bumping up against/at the limit. You might also want to think about how it's going to display in the party window, though. Right now Zheal shows up as "Zheal the Theurgi...".

spiritofcat
I read that it was 19 characters in total. That includes all spaces.
fawgre
Can you give the card a nick-name? Or use part of it?

(BTW that is a very pretty name and I don't fault you for wanting it. Magic the Gathering is fitting for Guild Wars anyway, what with all the analogies the devs are making between the decks and the 8 skill slots.)

Having never played MtG myself, I'm limited to either 1) making up my own names, which would mean they would suck, or 2) sliding in references which I've picked up from my European History class. There are plenty of famous historical people which I could "use," and I could always just use their names and piggyback off of them for my own twisted names along those same lines.
I'm still disappointed that Vlad the Impaler was taken for the first event I did, that was my top choice. William of Orange works fine for me though...

ygvi
Rijunto Ygvani? I suppose. And just in honor of that first keyboard mashing, I will name one of my characters Rijunto Ygvani now
Edit: I obviously added some extra letters to that, but it's just what sounded qwerky/cool in my head.

I like Magic the Gathering and only stopped playing recently due to the amount of money I had to put into it and I broke up with a girlfriend of mine that I used to play it with. (Lots of things just kind of killed it for me. Still a great game and I still love to play with the decks that I have.)

Rather than trying to use both hands and cover the entire keyboard, just use one hand, make sure you're covering primarily just the letters, and press down. You should get something like this:
yogitjkl
Yogi Tajkle, the Valient Ranger.
Best of luck.

I've got to have a go of this mashing method too since I only have 1.5 good character names in my head.
lhmu
gzf
Luhmu Gazeef, now there's a nice Elementalist name.
dfjbvs
awfopi
Dejavis Awfopy, sounds like a Mesmer to me, but I wasn't planning to play a Memser
aewrg
pihv
Aewrig Pihvey, could be a good solid Ranger or Warrior name.
I think my first was the best, Luhmu Gazeef is definitely going to be one of my characters.
