    How many characters are allowed for a name?

    I only meant to play this game for a short while and didn't pay much attention to my initial name.

    Now been playing for 18 months and wish to change it badly.

    Before I get the token does any genius out there know how many letters are allowed?

    I've Goggled it but the answer seems to be a very well kept secret.:(

    Although I don't know for sure, my best guess is 32.

    If you look at the activity stats on fisu, you'll find plenty of people on the leaderboard with deliberately obfuscated / tricky names to make reporting suspicious behavior hard (except when you've just been killed - then /report last killer ;)) ie. https://ps2.fisu.pw/activity/?world=1

    So at the moment I can see someone with 32 characters.

    Specifically https://ps2.fisu.pw/player/?name=wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwvv

    Oh that double v at the end trick - always gets us eh ! In my experience, these sorts tend to know the maximum....

    Thanks a bunch. That's a very generous amount.

    I use the name 'Icufosatnite' at present.

    Will change it to 'WholeArmyOfMars'. A much more sensible name I think you would agree.;)
