Braad Mcquaid...Surname Stripped

[JBW0717]

So anyone want to sign my petition to get my surname back that I have had for over a year and a half... Pretty stupid it just got stripped.

[Asher]

inb4 move to RnF

[deneauth]

Ciandra was named Psychopathic back in 2010 and that named got stripped. I have seen many worse names than Psychopathic on this server. I can't feel any sympothy.

My response to previous post, Phisting's name is not fantasy related. Has not been stripped.

Edit: Also I asked to change name to psycopatchic and it was un acceptable becuase it was 'too close to the name psychopathic.' Phisting is pretty close to Fisting imo, thats just me though.

Petition it? I D K~ ~

[Kassel]

Pretty sure phisting had his first surname stripped already. I could be wrong

[Samoht]

I'd love to see someone actually enforce the naming policy on this server. A trip to EC reveals 70% or more of characters in the tunnel with infringing names.

Actually had Thelone Rangers steal a camp from me in Highhold Keep the other day. There are three reasons this name violates naming policy: word The in it, copyrighted, names together make a complete idea

[Ennoia]

There's a LOT of names that are against the naming policy that have been overlooked.

[deneauth]

It's been so long at this point that it doesn't really matter to me anymore, but my first name was changed, Phisting has had several surname changes but never had his first name stripped. Just using him as an example, sorry Phist!

To stay on topic before this gets moved to R&F, I am officially signing this petition right now.

I petitioned it on the forums. I have had GMs comment on my name saying "nice name" and stuff before... This is rediculous

[Hijynx]

Pretty much every characters name is illegal lol.

[DirtySloot]

Such an awesome classic name...Should be returned...

[Autotune]

Had an enchanter on live named Nukenu Toodamoon.


Was never changed.

[Thulack]

my last name on Live was Assling for a few weeks back in 03 cause well i was a assling so why not have it as my name. Had a monk named Mmaster back in 00 his surname was Wu. i would hang in freeport alot so didnt take long for that one to be nerfed. had a necro named Mindif Ikiteyou. nothing ever happened to him.

[JBW0717]

I had Namemebitch, Fatogrehumper Fromdaback, and countless other names that didnt get nerfed....but my main that i played for 9 years was Iameveryones Ownpersonaljesus.....It never got nerfed

[mimixownzall]

Tykleme Elmbow, Mimix Blacksanta (Erudite with a huge white beard), Phat Phuqq, Jackin Auph. Oh, I had a wizard with the title of Master.. of course I changed his name to Bayter.

[Littlegyno]

Why doesn't Hasbinbad's name get changed? It clearly violated the naming rules.

[inyane]

they don't uphold the posted rules for getting caught cheating (perma ban)
so what makes you think they are going to do anything about names?

but, hey, we got rid of those spells sets!

here's an idea...i'm sure the devs getting plenty of apps for guides. make a
guide who's only job is to be the name police. hell, i'll app for that position myself

[JBW0717]

Just to mock me A "Burt Reylonds" ports into WC...so awesome

[Samoht]

Just a quick look around EC reveals:

Hallow Bethyname
Creamie Filling
Smokingtrees
Ynot Killem
Assy Mcgee
Suun Tzu
Rustytaco
Doobie
Fixed Blade
Coldblooded
League Odoom

And those are just the violations if you're taking the policy lightly.

[Goraxx]

Snitches get stitches

[Hobby]

Name changes (first name) are restricted to those who have overly offensive names (curse words 99% of the time).

Surname changes are to the discretion of the -now- active guides.

my personal favorite-

OMG ARE YOU TAXI?

[Lazortag]

I dunno if enforcing the naming policy too strictly is a good idea, especially if people sometimes quit when they can't use their preferred moniker like Slutmagic and Taxi did, then again Taxi was completely crazy so maybe the server is better off.

[Humerox]

I dunno if enforcing the naming policy too strictly is a good idea..

It's not. Especially when some of these names have existed for a couple of years. It should really be restricted to offensive names. I mean...who cares if there's an Elvis, Jackson Browne, or Imanidiot running around an emulated EQ server?

[skulldudes]

i wish everyone with something about weed in their name got perma-banned.

[Uthgaard]

I remember when everyone freaked out about the naming policy getting an update. Names are almost impossible to enforce when they're on the fringes of good taste, because there are so many. I always found names a source of entertainment.

[14:33] nilbog: is there a reason jeremy has the prefix ron? removing that shit.
09[22:05] Uthgaard: seemed funny at the time

Even when they were offensive, I'd have fun renaming them. ******cock? Poof, you're now Nigerianchicken.

Penetrated Frombehind (my rogue) got renamed.

It wasn't just the surname either. Supposedly Penetrated is a bad rogue name that needed to be changed lol. What did his name get changed to you ask.

Pickpocket.

Edit: I quit playing as him after that. It's just not the same imo, even tho he was only like lvl 30 at the time.

[Rainflush]

I remember when pairing your forename and surname to make a comical compound word or phrase was novel and amusing.

I was tempted to do a response like

"I was gonna say "I remember when you were clever, funny and original." However, I don't think you have been any of those in your entire life."

I don't think I will post it though.

It was, until about 4/5 months in to the server when a bunch of whiny bitches spammed the forum about every name they didn't agree with.

[Asedo]

This server was built in praise of Everquest. Braad had the Surname in Praise of the guy that designed the game. So basically he got it taken away for doing the same thing you guys did.

Exactly....I put that in my petition...Nothing yet =( and it is just not the same for sure...

[Zigfreed]

That does seem like reallllly small potatoes.

[sacrilegium]

But the character name Publicurination is a-okay.

[Atmas]

Once again the people running the server can enforce the rules at their discretion but I am kind of surprised that Braad would be targeted out of the numerous name violations. Real life themed names seem to be more the rule than the exception.

On live I had an alt halfing named Eyeingyocrotch which I used to do the SRoTU quest.

seems like an unprovoked personal attack to me

[Malev]

Wow, lots of complaining over stupid shit on the boards constantly. It really is classic all over again!

[choklo]

I see the name as a tribute to one of EQ's "founding fathers" and see no disrespect or bad taste in it. It's not vulgar, childish, offensive or in poor taste. If it wasn't for Brad, we wouldn't be playing this game.

[mimixownzall]

Does Venereal Disease still have his name?

I have petitioned his name twice and it wasn't touched last time I logged on.

I think there is a little GM favoritism there!

[JBW0717]

Still havn't even looked at my petition...Seems about right hah.

Keep the support up! haha

The author of that stickied thread is definately violating the naming policy, and I even mentioned it on the first page before it was stickied nicely when the naming policy said to be enforced before. My post got deleted.

Maybe its in game names only??? Nah, its that preferential treatment =P

For some added irony, you could violate naming policy and name your guide character NameNazi NoSoupForYou

[Striiker]

Having people complain about the complainers... NOW we're in classic country!

[Vohl]

Also people pointing out complaining about complainers, as well as self-referencing posts pointing out posts pointing out complainers.

Okay, now I've gone cross-eyed.

What? LOL
Naming policy :
Descriptive compound words are allowed in first names and are encouraged in surnames (e.g. Treehugger, Giantslayer).
