Why Not? - Nimphious - 06.03.2009

Just asking why we can't use these symbols in our game names to play sa-mp.

"!@#$%^&*()_+©"

Well there are more but they are just examples, any reason why?

It has been this way since 0.2, nothing has really changed recently.

If I remember correctly they were removed due to crashing on mostly windows environment. They were blocked to prevent the server from trying to write certain files with those characters.

Also people can abuse Non Ascii charaters and make thier name apprear invisible

There is a plugin which lets you allow certain characters again (server side)
