Can't use capital letters in player names.
Bug type: In-game character creation
Brief bug summary: Capital letters in character names return an error.
More details: This has occurred on multiple accounts, with multiple different attempted in game names and on different class choices.
Merely removing the capital letter and replacing it with a lower-case letter will resolve the issue. This is not preferable however.
None of the aforementioned names were curse words, nor taken by other players.
Friends have experienced the same issue.
Steps to reproduce: Create new character, pick your look, etc etc. After typing in your desired in game name, the game requests your preferred control layout,
and then returns an error message stating that the name cannot be used.
World name: Luna
Date and time of the incident: Since Europe merge until -ongoing-.

The issue might be that the name censor balks at some bad words only if they are capitalized. That is, "Bad" is not allowed, but "bad" is ok. This might have been done as a lazy way to avoid blocking what looks like a bad word but is in the middle of a legitimate word (e.g. Document).
For example I got shion, but couldnt create Shion
FYI, this isn't happening with every name I try but it happens in the majority of cases.
I also deleted an old character recently and desired to use the same name for a new character. That one didn't work either...
Edit: OK, so I just got a response from support, who denied my request to have the name "selina" tweaked and I will need to wait for the next name change event and pay $ for an error on their side.
"Hello again,
We've tried making a new character on our end and we can create a character just fine with or without capital letters. You may post this on our bug report section on the forums if you insist this being an issue so our game team may investigate on this."
Thank you for being ever so helpful GM Eridel, you don't have a problem creating a character with capital letters which means that the problem doesn't exist, obviously! :l
So 2 days ago on Sunday I though like hey, maybe when I create a new character, and I get no error at that time, then I can create and delete him as many times as I want. But what if I wait a day (or a few days like crusher99), would I get the error then again after deleting him? So 2 days ago I created crusher9, I could create and delete him that very same thing several times. Yesterday (1 day ago) on Monday I deleted him, and I could recreate him again. But I could still not create crusher99.
I wonder if I wait maybe longer than just one day, wil Il get the same error for crusher9 then?, that's going to be my next test.
