Invalid character name

Hi to all.

It is the second time that I try to create a character that includes a quotation mark in its name and the game does not accept it. (e.g.: xxxx'yyyyyyy where xxxx equals to my preferred character prefix)

I already have 4 characters named in the same way.

The name I have chosen does not exist, both in Rep and Imp side, so I do not understand the reason why the game does not accept it.

I didn't find any post where character names rules are published.

Am I blind or there's a sort of bug I can't pass through ?

Thanks in advance for any response.

    I just tested this and was able to create a character name with ' in the name.  The only thing I can think of is the way your keyboard is entering that character.  Like if it's entering something different then ' or a non ascii character version of '

    I would try again if the issue persists or if the issue is resolved please let us know.  You can also try some of the steps below:

    Delete the DiskCacheArena file from your swtor directory

    Run a repair:

    Non-Streaming launcher - Log into the launcher but don't click Play. Check for small letters "ST" in the bottom left corner. If this is NOT present, With the new launcher after login , select the username pull down on the top right and select settings, then press repair.


    Streaming launcher - If the letters "ST" is present, close the launcher, right mouse click on the game shortcut, select open file location and delete the BitRaider folder. Then start the launcher.
