Bug Description: Players with '{}', or likely any non-ASCII character in their name, cause an exception (FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format) when interacted with in the following ways:
- Sending/Receiving a party invitation (invitation isn't sent, but received)
- Sending/Receiving Alliance invitation (invitation isn't sent, but received)
- Getting a quest shared from (not accepting, but sharing alone)
- A shared quest is accept by such a player
Therefore, two players with the same issue can't be in a group together.
Detailed steps to reproduce the bug:
1) In multiplayer, find a player with a '{}' in their name, or likely any non-ASCII character.
2) In the players tab, send a party invitation to this player.
Actual result: The invitation isn't sent. Additionally, the ingame console pops open, hindering all input, like movement, until closed. In the console the following exception message is printed: FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format
Expected result: No error occurs and the invitation is sent.
