For many players of City of Heroes and City of Villains, creating our own heroes and villains is one of the most enjoyable and satisfying aspects of the game. As mentioned in the End User License Agreement (EULA) for both games, though, there are several important rules governing player-created characters, particularly their names.

We’ve done our best to make the EULA as clear as possible (within the restrictions of a legal document), but there remains a degree of confusion and misunderstanding about this subject. This new FAQ is intended to clarify the rules regarding character names in City of Heroes and City of Villains.
