roflrofl, no leet language?! no gods or deities!?
wtf.... :huh:

I know some of these are reasonable but when I trial played everyone had names that defied those rules.... what are they gonna do to them, ban them?
and the superheros part.. could this may have been sparked from
city of heros? :drama:

just plain fucking stupid

[Fragmatic]

It's not stupid, it's to stop complete and utter retards playing.

Seriously, I'm sick of playing games and seeing -

"UnoriginalClichedname<randomnumber>"
or
"XxXxXxXxX<random word>XxXxXxXxX"

[internetn]

I sorta agree with you there frag, but maybe they should have like a role playing server or something for those leet grinders

[Ivan]

Hmm, I haven't logged in in a while. I wonder if my guy, TerribleIvan is gone.

[Kyonye]

Oooooh Ivan, you did a no no

[Fragmatic]

Anyway, these rules aren't new... they've been around for ages AFAIK... unless they edited them.

I tend to disagree here. While, yes, certain naming rules are necessary, such as no explicitaves in names, but making naming customs stricter isn't going to dissuade someone from playing the game. So if a retard who wanted to play the game wanted to make a name that broke the rules, and it dind't work, then he's just simply going to choose a name that works, but he's still going to be a complete jerk in the game regardless of his name.

[Strygun]

I don't see these rules as radical in the least bit. Hooray for Blizzard!

There are roleplaying servers. I sort of think blizzard is going overboard but oh well.

[Rayder]

What's wrong with "Welovebeef?"

[Peacemaker]

More important what is wrong with titles such as King mike? Wtf does that have to do with it? Its not like Sgt.Slaughter is going to make someone cry "Racist!!!"

[Baneblade]

It's funny, but a few years ago I would think those were dumb rules, now I find I agree with all of them.

And I also vote for the 'Idiot Server'. Let the RPers have the real server.

[firecrackerNC]

Eh kinda gay and just one more reason not to get WoW but eh.

[Derfud]

Good, I am tired of getting PKed by some nightelf aptly named "Gankstar".

[Kikinchikin]

Thing is, they aren't enforcing the more blatant ones. My friend and I saw a guy named Ghimli a few weeks ago in Flats. We killed him (as we do every alliance we see), and then camped him (something we don't do unless they deserve it) because of his name. I've also seen Legolas around, as well as the basically most famous guy on my server, Vash. But w/e it doesn't really bother me that they have those names, just that they are getting by without reprecussion while cool guys such as "Puppybasher" are forced to change their names.

[Indecisive]

Those arnt new, those have always been there, yall arent just observent enough.

Unfortunatly, they only practice that policy if someone reports the name.

[Wraithlord]

Old news, but I still love it, Im so sick of playing games with XxXSEPHIROTHXxX and korn389 and superkid2002, I want to kill people who make name like that. Now I can, I report anyone with gibberish in their name, or with stupid names like Cl, Tm, Td, Azn(insert name here) and actually SEE THEIR NAME CHANGE WITHIN A DAY, I love the power to ruin the fucktards day.

[Biohazzard56]

People are paying you assholes 13 bucks a month, let them have what ever fucking name they please.

[Baneblade]

No...their parents pay for it.

Should they be able to do what ever they want as well? Hell they pay for it why not let them hack the game?

[Sabinius]

dude I think people should be able to have a name like "Roxx0ryourn00b" or "saerant slaughter" or "Ilikemeat" because those name are awesome

And no these rules havent been around for awhile, notice at the top of the picture it states the policy has changed? My sister was forced to look at it the second she logged on.

[Biohazzard56]

Thats completely different, were talking about names. As long as the names arent offensive.

[Giovanni]

Quit making a fuss about it, every other game has the same god damn policies. The only ones that don't are those shitty games that never launch due to lack of interest from the gaming community.

If you want to have a retarded name go and play another game.

It always says that after a new patch.

[MrVicchio]

I've seen "DarthVador", and groaned. The LOTR inspired names annoy me. The "real world names, even worse.

This is a game, games have rules. One of those rules is names. They have to be tasteful, original and not annoying. If oyu cannot have fun unless you are named "xKxIxLxLxYxOxUx" or p0wnz3Rdy0u or some other idiocy.. don't play.

Besides, people with idiotic names like that.. never get in my groups.

My MMO name for the longest times was Velderia or Billard. Now it Vard :)

Stop all this misunderstanding

Ok, the rules havent changed recently, and no other games have half of those god damn policies

And yeah hes right people being allowed to have simple non offensive names is very different then allowing them to fucking hack the game, and this is the reason we have role-playing servers, those policies should only apply to them.

[Giovanni]

You know, if I werent so damn lazy I'd go and fetch you the list of naming rules for most MMO's and you'd be suprised how wrong you are once again.

Hell Anarchy online has them! I made a badly named character just to see if AO had changed and when I logged in for the second time, I was face to face with a message telling me to reply with a choice of name in the next 24 hours or else have my character name be changed for good to something of their choice.

A guy I knew got his character deleted in SW:G because of his name...

Fact is, the game has rules deal with it or shut the fuck up about it. If you can't come up with a simple arrangement of letters to make a worthy name then you don't deserve to play...

[ChewyLSB]

SWG didn't have that stringent of a naming policy, just no names from the Star Wars Universe. (Which wasn't a bad idea, but I couldn't call my character "ChewyLSB", even though the character's name is FREAKING CHEWIE)

[Giovanni]

Explain then why my friend that played those damned fish (don't remember the name) had named his character SushiPlate and got asked to reply to the GM's tell with a new name or else his new character name would be randomized.

[Rhemuss]

I could have swore FFXI had the same policy maybe I was wrong, but the only thing I see wrong with that is people that keep the same name throughout all there games may have to pick an entirley new one, but for the VEGETAXXSUPERNEOPS2SUXZ0RZFAN1011011200 people that plague every other game, it is kinda nice.
