I canât speak for anyone else who uses them but I already have a name for my character IC and well try my best to replicate that with my OOC name, using accents opens up the chance for me to use the name I want.
I would prefer ĂbĂ©l to Heisenburg or Baldywarrior or something like that just personal preference though

I can understand where youâre coming from, but surely the character creation came before you had the character IC?

Yeah I had most things planned out in advance, the actual character creation comes last so if I say had a character planned out called John you can bet that name is taken in game but that doesnt deter me from using that name for my character.
EDIT: Wait I read that wrong, no actually I create the character concepts first which generally result in starting a new character or racechanging a class to the desired race which also grants me a name change
Not sure if this was patched but you can also delete the character you want the name change for, create a lvl 1/class trial with the same name then restore the original which forces a namechange (due to the name existing on the realm already).
Did that for a while when I wanted to change names but Iâm not sure if itâs still valid.
It is valid, but you need second account (doesnât need to have a sub). It seems to just error when the character you wish to restore has a name that already exists on the same account.

Ah, thatâs it.
Well there you go!
NOBODY EVEN TALKS IN DUNGEONS. My Dwarf feels lonely .
The only issue I have with people using accents or special characters for their names is when itâs excessive (ĆëģöÄșĂŠĆ). Aside from that sometimes it gets funny when you know how to actually pronounce some of these âfancy lettersâ and someone wanting to name themselves a badass suddenly turns into someone declaring their own butt to be sad.
Groups on the English servers already need too much chat communication for simple things!! >I
Staring down a hallway while jumping for attention should be enough to tell people that I want to go that way!

ĂbĂ©lâs and ColdshĂĄdeâs (as an example) are pretty easy for me to do since they are just ctrl+alt+letter luckily and most names only use that symbol. means I can write pokĂ©mon properly if i want.
What on earth is THAT? Is that even legal?

Itâs special. And reads nothing like Legolas.
I donât even need any CTRL or ALT magic to do stuff like the aigu (Ă©), grave (Ăš), circonflexe (ĂȘ) and Ă€Ă¶ĂŒĂ on my keyboard and itâs still sometimes slightly annoying because WoWâs font makes it hard to see if itâs an Ă or an ĂŹ.
Iâm aware, but luckily when trying to enter it into the name box wow just flat out told me; âname needs to have lettersâ so thankfully, something doesnât count as a letter.

This is heavily dependant on your language settings and not all have that feature. So for me, Ă€Ă¶Ă”ĂŒ would be dead simple, but Ă© and the ilk would be fair bits more complicated. Simplest solution would be to just not have any.

Apparently WoW doesnât like slavic and turkish letters because LĂ«gölĂŠs is totally fine.

Do I get a point for âThe accent is part of the name and should be pronouncedâ?

The last time I tried to be friendly and verbose, I was mocked because of course one of those Roleplayers would be clogging the chat. Consensus was to focus on clearing the dungeon fast like an adult and a professional. Real gamers donât chat.
Peeve:
Upstairs neighbour is running a circular saw. I donât think youâre even allowed to. Theyâre either building furniture or getting rid of a body. I just wanted a nap.
How do you even pronounce Ă«?
Theyâre building furniture out of a body.
