Support for usernames with underscores?

Hi all,

Through testing the PlayFab API, I saw that underscores "_" were an invalid token for an account name. Is there a workaround for this? Possibly some sort of setting where these are allowed?

Thanks a bunch,

Beto

Currently, legal characters for usernames are required to be Alphanumeric (A to Z - upper or lower - and 0-9), and there is no plan to open up other characters. If you find it necessary for your project, please make a feature request about it here: https://community.playfab.com/spaces/24/index.html, more votes can help us prioritize our work.

@Citrus Yan Can you update this answer? Maybe with a link to the official documentation about this. In November 2023 we can successfully name a player: asDF! "#$%&/()=)(/&]-.,_

So maybe the rules have changed.
