Project 1999 - Green Naming Policy (Petition)

To reveal the OP intent: It was worded in a way to incite thought and with an added dose of sarcasm and light heartedness. (and slight, slight mischief?)

There are several players who may not have been around long enough to have known about the update by the Dev Staff a few years back when they announced their "1 millionth character created."

So it wasn't an exaggerated statement or meant to just be biased to the max. It was also to keep the facts in place and concise from the top end, knowing several players wouldn't take the time to read my actual post. However, I'll admit that it was more fun to word it such than just "Yay" and "Nay" lol ;).

In all honesty, either way, I have several unique character names I thoroughly enjoy.

I just feel that with a brand new server launch, 10 years coming -- it should atleast tidy up and get rid of the dust bunnies, being that, it will not be its own stand alone server (thus merging into Blue).

And that is my personal opinion -- no use in arguing it. Some may agree and some may disagree and that is 100% fine. Doesn't make me below or you above or of a superior intellect whether you and I fail to ascertain the same line of thought... it means we are made different, we think different, we are different. And thank God! Else there would be no good debates! ;)

There have been good points on both sides, and I am of the camp that believes there is usually a "balance" somewhere in the middle. But it is not for me to decide where that balance lies. Rogean, Nilbog and Co. have done a sufficient job thus far -- my main intent was that the issue was raised to their ear and left for them to re-evaluate and decide whether anything needs to be revisited or not.

However, my sincere wish would be that for those of you involved in the much heated debate, that you might take a step back from the frustration of being misunderstood, to the realization that, though we disagree on some points, we are more alike than different in the regard that we all obviously hold classic EQ in high regard....how many other communities of 2,000 people are still passionate about a purist movement involving a 20 year old elf sim? Haha. Just thinking..

I have read each of your posts and am grateful that, even though we may disagree, atleast we think it worthy to be brought up and mentioned and argued either way. But at the end of the day I hope we can all be satisfied with our randomly generated name or our withdrawal from the name bank and move on and have fun with green together.
