So annoyed I got held up at my in-laws. Won't be home until hours after. This is an event I didn't want to miss!! Hopefully my name's I wanted are still there.

The gold rush is still on, grabbing and seeing so many great names.

Edit: It looks like I can't submit new names any more, crashes instead. Coincidence!?

I got some pretty great ones. The killjoys are just waiting for people to start listing them so they can be reported, though.

I dunno, if Roofie Dateraper was allowed to exist for years, despite the incredible asshole the player actually was, how much enforcement can there really be?

There was a huge name violation purge like... a year and a half ago? A lot of people lost their names that they'd had for years. It all felt kind of arbitrary since guys like "Detoxx" were left alone, but others like "Winchester" were nuked.

Regardless, I wouldn't tempt the GM Gods by flaunting a great name if you managed to snag one.

Really sad that people are making dozens of lvl 1 chars to eat up names that they are never going to play.

Hope the purges come more often!

Locking down all the stripper names like Trixie and Glitter.

Should make it easy to beg.

was waiting at 9 and several of mine got purged that i was sure I had logged in but I got the ones back I wanted.

The best part of this was seeing the other names also just sitting down and logging out immediately, occasionally lolling at each other

I got several that were very surprising and not in violation of policy.

I logged in and saw “assman” as a new roll. I laughed so hard. I can only assume that this same person nabbed Seinfeld too because I saw a corpse with that name on it.

I wasn't particularly ambitious so I got most of the ones I wanted. Tho I really wanted Tourmaline for a dwarf female that would have been my main, and that didn't open up. Kind of bummed about that.

Pelosi was the one I was after. I'm not even going to use the character for anything other than a level 1 bank alt, but it was very satisfying to nab.

The hoarding of unused names is the entire reason this purge was necessary from the start you damned weirdos. They should do a purge of unused names every month or two. Imagine the sickness of filling multiple accounts with unused level 1 characters just to hoard desirable names on a 20 year old elf sim. GO OUTSIDE.

(Vexenu confirmed mad he forget the name purge was yesterday and didn't get a cool name).

the valuable and finite resource of *checks notes* dictionary-word names must be distributed equitably among the playerbase

As long as it goes by the same rules. I feel once a year is not a bad idea.

Check the name trade thread. Maybe someone got the one you wanted and would be willing to toss it to you.

Probably some people are, but I think a lot of us just grabbed names we liked but wouldn't mind parting with if someone really wants one.

For instance, I got "Daisy" last night (thought it might be cute on a female halfling or gnome) and tossed it back this morning when I realized I'll probably never actually play that. I have another that I'm like 75% sure that I won't play and will probably delete soon. If I see someone in the name trade thread really wants it, I'll delete it and message them.

Now that there's a ruling on this, I'm throwing back two names that I'm pretty sure I won't play actively. It'd be great if others can do the same and free them up so that people who really want them have another shot.
