Feedback:User/Dealaka/Adding ` to naming characters

This is a very small request for GW (and hopefully in the future for GW2). I'm requesting that the character of (`)[Grave Accent] be allowed to be used in names for characters. There are a few reasons I'm requesting this feature.

1.) The grave accent ( ` ) is a diacritical mark used in written Breton, Catalan, Dutch, French, Greek (until 1982; see polytonic orthography), Italian, Mohawk, Norwegian, Occitan, Portuguese, Scottish Gaelic, Vietnamese, Welsh, Romansh, and other languages.

2.) The grave accent is most often used in English in poetry and song lyrics. It indicates that a vowel usually silent is to be pronounced, in order to fit the rhythm or meter.

(as taken from here;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%60)

3.) My character's name is traditionally Alexio D'Amore but in Guild Wars I've had to spell it Alexio Deamore. I am not pleased with this forced change of the name, as it's not the name important for my back story. It breaks the game for me. It doesn't make sense that given it's use in several languages that we should be forced to ignore it. Not every player is only English American, and not every character should be named as such.

Hopefully, I can convince someone to see that this small detail request is important for naming characters and update the policy accordingly. Thank you for taking the time to read this small request.Dealaka
