After a lot of thought on this subject, I think I understand now why guides needed this name changed.
It had nothing to do with lacking a RP theme, or any other explanation thus mentioned. I believe it has to do with the fact that it's impossible to petition anyone with such a name.
Imagine... Iiiilliiiliilii begins KSing YOUR orcs at Orc1, when YOU had it camped first!
In a frenzy, you begin your petition as we are conditioned to do!
/petition "I am being KS'd at Orc1! PLEASE HELP ME GM!!!!! A guy named...."
*blink*
Iiiliiiliiiili?
Iililiiiiliil?
Illiiillllii?
*sigh*
/petition "I am being KS'd at Orc1! PLEASE HELP ME GM!!!!! A guy named.... I think it is Iliiiliiill???? is KSing ME!!!!!"
Now imagine, imagine if we had hundreds of players with barcode names!!!! It would be MADNESS for the GMs to try to figure out WHO the petition was filed on!
This is obviously why the GMs want names like this off the server.
