Just got a port from Dial A Port then reported their guild name for violation...no mercy.

I have a hotkey for petitioning %T in EC, pray your foolish names do not meet my gaze...

Nameslayers name was changed very quickly to Kagendik...this will not in any way hinder my name reporting frenzy.....

This This This!! 100% this.

Arguably the most immersion ruining Guild name on the server, Kittens is a close second though!!

Dial?? Really, in a fantasy based world.

I can't wait for the gnomish invention arguments!

Update: Morsnomine has been banned as well, I believe for saying names WILL be purged, it was taken that I was impersonating staff even though I stated I was not staff and I am just creating an Illegal Registry.

Phase 3 will begin shortly with different wording. I've already compiled quite the list

Why knowingly violate server policy then rage about it on the forums?

I'm not in Violations of rules at all but purposely reporting peoples names cause your name got changed is just a dick thing to do. Let the GM's take care of the problem. Oh and this kinda of mass name change would have never happen on live back in classic or now...

My name didn't get changed. Just helping out the great people who put this server together for us to enjoy

Do we have a list or example of a name that is clearly not in violation of policy but has been changed? This keeps being referenced but we have 0 data showing that it actually happened

None of my character names were changed because i am an upstanding citizen of norrath. I'm just doing my civic duty for a better, brighter future.

Here's my list after 1 Inquisitorial Session last night. Since it's been requested by the public.

Some are obviously more egregious than others. Lunie Tunes is an abomination, but also a level 60 bard. It MUST be cleansed. The only name on that list that I think deserves a potential pardon is Goatwoman. Had she responded to me in RP I certainly would have accepted it as the name of a peasant from Freeport selling goats in EC.

Ringjumper is fine.

I would agree that per the rules this does not appear to violate anything however the rules also state "The server staff can, in accordance with all described rules and ultimate discretion" so it's still their call.

If a character with a so called "naming violation" is a level 1 or level 5 then who cares. But if it's a level 60 with 5 years played time... You need to have a conversation with that person before randomly changing their name because...

1 - Randomly tampering with something that someone has invested a lot of time, and offering no recourse, in is bizarre and unsympathetic. It's like telling someone to paint a picture, and 5 years later you make an ugly blue paint smear across the whole thing. And if they complain, you tell them you'll burn the whole thing. So you better tell them how lovely their blue smear is.

2 - A lot of these "violations" are a huge gray area and you need to err on the side of caution, because people have invested time into these names.

3 - If you're just relying on player petitions .. you may not be considering whether the petitioner is has a vendetta or just wants to grief someone.

*not personally affected by these changes. Just arguing on behalf of the downtrodden.

You're trying to introduce gray area where it doesn't exist. The rules are clearly laid out and if you've been in violation of them 5 minutes or 5 years you are subject to the consequences. Your post reminds me of a liberal rant offering no facts or details just citing your opinion as truth.

You've just contradicted your argument about "trying to introduce gray area where it doesn't exist." I'm personally not opposed to names being changed, but I couldn't agree more with branamil's point that it could have been handled with more tact.

It doesn't send a very good message when names are changed that don't appear to violate the naming policy at all.

Okay, now I'm really puzzled. I was just banned immediately after shouting in EC that I was going to note names that violate the naming policy and report them to the staff. What did they mean by this? I guess I'll just have to not warn people beforehand now and do it incognito.
