I would like to see the ability to preview a custom rank before you purchase it. The reason being so that when we attempt to make a rank using character codes that are invalid it doesn't auto default to something we don't want, for example I tried making the rank █▓▒░ using alt codes and it ended up defaulting to and purchasing ¦¦¦¦.

You were warned before you did it that alt codes and special characters are not guaranteed to work. Keep to english words and there is no problem  |

Keep to english words and there is no problem Yea, I know there was discussion before I made the title, I'm not sure why everyone thinks this is a complaint on the fact that I ended up with the title I didn't intend to make lol. I attempted to make the alt-code title knowing full well that there was a good chance that it wouldn't work and never asked for a refund or complained in more than a stating oh that sucks it didn't work kind of way. I myself know exactly how the title creation works at this point so a feature like this wouldn't particularly be of any convenience to me. I simply thought that it would be a good idea for other people in the future attempting to make their titles. Although I can see how people might think I was complaining in the fact that I used my experience as a reference although that is all it was a reference as to why a feature such as the one I mentioned might be useful. On that note if adding a feature like this would be a pain or cause more than minimal work I can see not adding it. I think it might be helpful to warn other people on the rank creation screen that alt codes and special characters aren't guaranteed to work and could default to ¦ symbols instead (just to clarify again, I know there was a discussion about it before I made my rank in chat, this is a discussion for if this would be a useful feature for people in the future) since the only other place it's mentioned is somewhere in the wiki under renown ranks I think. That being said I don't know how many people have actually ended up with unintentional ¦¦ titles if only me, or hardly anyone then I can see why there would be no need for even a warning in the creation screen. |

A preview box probably isn't a bad idea, or just a more robust warning on the page could be added, such that it is clear which do and don't work. I'll add something to the custom ranks page on the wiki to help less confusion occur anyway.
Edit: Ignore the last part, seems stabby already did this a while ago.

A preview seems fairly reasonable. I'll have to see if 100% accuracy can be guaranteed once I start looking into it, but it could certainly be more insightful than the black box / void that it is today.
