Theres no way so your name to be less than 4 letters. Only way is to change it in the database.

I do believe the name is measured by the client before submitting the data into the DB. If I'm right, you can only get a 3 letter name by entering it into the DB yourself.

You can change it from source I believe, on eoserv; go to sources>src>player.cpp search line: bool Player::ValidName(std::string username)
you should find this:
bool Player::ValidName(std::string username)
{
if (username.length() < 4) <Change this to 3 or 2 then you can make 2 or 3 letter
accounts
{
return false;
}
if (username.length() >
12)
{
return false;
}
Not sure if it affects on characters but...

There was a hack used before to have a 3 letter name, the client side definitely has some built in protection for this. Sordie could probably build an addon for this but is it worth it really?
