Maybe we can think about other weapons that need name changing. Like the Hafted Blades?? Are they Guan Dao's? I'm not sure. They kinda remind me them.

ahlspieß = masculin
so it would be langeR ahlspiess.

btw : pike in german ist ahlspieß

do you know ß in english? :O
i thought that by new ortographic rules ß should be replaced with ss

You would be correct.

Besides, ss is generally understood to be the same as ß.  Especially in instances where ß cannot be used.  The entire reason that the rules change back and forth is due to applications like this one where ß cannot be used.

There is no such thing as a correct name for something. An item has many names, the one its creator gave it, the one its user gave it, the one its victim gave it, etc. I say either use english names for everything or try to find out the one who was most popular.

And the falcata is an antique weapon, not medieval.

The game won't accept anything but numerals and the basic 26 Roman characters, plus an underscore_ in names. No Scharfes S, no Edhs and Thorns, fadaí etc.

O rly?

Try and use a special character in a character name or one that isn't on your keyboard in chat and nothing happens. That's all I know.
