Is there any particular reason we cannot use a password with a non-alphanumeric character? I commonly use [];',./!@#$%^&*() in my passwords.

Not to mention we cannot register with an email that has a +.

Welcome to the Forum Drehmini~

This would be a help/techincal question...

You bring up a very good point about passwords not being able to contain those characters, since they are normally used password symbols, and would improve security.
That is indeed something to look into...

But what is a + doing in your email address... thats rediculous.
would be neat to be able to...

Sorry I figured technical questions would be about the game. However, I use gmail, which provides a feature that if you add anything after the + will be ignored and sent to the correct account. For example if I use drehmini+mw[at].com I will still receive the email at drehmini@[at].com. This provides a way to see who is passing out my email and if I start to receive a lot of spam I can just block any email that is sent to the drehmini+mw (not saying you guys do). However, this isn't the only case of a + being in the email. For example if your usual email is taken and your email provider or ISP allows + in the email address and treats it as a separate entity then you would not be able to register at all.

However, I would be able to settle with the fact that I can't add a +, but not allowing non-alphanumeric characters in a password leaves me uneasy.

And thanks for allowing me to be part of the community, and feel free to move this post to the correct section of the forums.

There is tons of things unfinished in the current forums. We have to focus on developing the game now though. The forum features will come with time. Thx for your suggestion mate.
Oh yes and before you ask we cannot use any freeware forums version like we use internally and for beta testing because this webpage is directly connected to the account management itself.

Thank you for you response Darghan and MemoryThief. The game definitely does look interesting and I agree you should focus on finishing the game before worrying about the forums. As I said before, thank you guys for allowing me to be part of the community and I hope I can contribute to the cause.
