****in people and their long *** names

Well - you can do a /invite *name* nad it works perfectly.

Alas, this is didnt know - I used the farking UI to do it and it does not accept more than 8 letters in the box.

Kindda stupid if you ask me - give us a UI to do the recruiting, and then not allowing us to use it to recruit people with names longer than 8 letters. Kindda like dangling a sandwich in front of a fat kid, and when he almost has it, you snatch it away, crap on it, and tell him to go f*** himself..

Probably better to throw this into the bug forum?

And did i read something about a sandwich?

The Ui came before names could be logner than 8 characters..think it a known bug. Still annoying but I got used to using /recruit now its easier

KH is correct.

The UI was coded and created before names could be longer than 8 characters. Unfortunately we had to change the character set length limit as part of the China development (this was mandatory) but we haven't had the resources at the same time to create a new UI.

So yeah, known bug, will be addressed when we can.
