I recently changed my character name from a slightly shorter name to Amanou Aidoneos, putting quite a lot thought and the cost of a server transfer to it, only to find out that when I'm on a level 100 job, the name cuts out of the party list. The issue is the string "Lv100" critically taking space from the available string length to be shown, that when I'm on any level capped job, my name in the party list turns into "Lv100 Amanou Aidone..". It's all the more stupid that "Lv100 Amanou Aidone.." is the same length than "Lv100 Amanou Aidoneos" as len(), but the party list just doesn't adjust to it. You should either limit the available character name length to something that can be fully shown in the party list regardless of level, or at least give a heads-up, when you have paid services that allow or necessitate changing character names. Having to choose between showing my full name and playing a level 100 job or hiding either the forename or surname entirely are all very bad choices to have to make.
