As for why gWoWChar uses it, on the coding side, having them in a single field makes the information use much more flexible. It also allows a user to input more than 3 characters without having to have the admin create more profile fields or having too many profile fields cluttering the profile page for those who just enter 1 or 2 characters.

I talked with Elricstorm about having the event calendar follow the same format so that information would not have to be doubled for those who use both mods as well as allow the use of more than 3 characters in the event calendar eventually.
