Who was offended by Dogfood? It wasn't even a brand of dog food, such as Colgate, a brand name toothpaste. Aren't there dogs in Norrath? Do they not eat? Is there some problem with naming a guy dogfood?
It isn't just a name, it can also be a nickname. That's legit immersion. Dogfood was a whelp of a lad considered ill fit for anything but dispersing slop to the mutts... that's where he grew from into a mighty Druid one day, exhiled and raised with wovles to become one of them.
And Colgate being a REAL human name doesn't make it LESS against the rules. You think you could name a character Einstein? Siting it being a real person name makes it even more against the rules if anything you retard. You keep citing it as if that makes it a legit name. As if characters named Steven and Robert in an elf sim don't ruin immersion the same as names like Poopdick.... obviously one is more offensive than the other, but neither is proper within the rules naming.
I just don't understand what the deal is... are they monitoring surnames? I have played with so many absurdly named people on a regular basis that it amazes me the guildies we've had nerfed already. And to what extent? The GM's aren't even banning offensive names, just changing names at will for random crap like Dogfood? GTFO of her with that... the name Dogfood would never eat a nerf on live. Ever. Under any circumstance. Multiple names nerfed from day 1 characters that were in no way offensive, ironically while GM's Sir Ken, and Aussie run free.... why don't you guys lead by example and change your names to random generated names... since no one else gets a fun name to enjoy for their avatar apparently, why should you?
This is the absolute dumbest use of time and resources I have seen on p99 since I came here... it really is sad.
Sadome Poopdick, legit goog name. Colgate legit goog name.... Dogfood? NERF HIM! Cannabis? Nerf him.
