Loramin is a medicine available in a number of countries worldwide. A list of US medications equivalent to Loramin is available on the Drugs.com website.

- Common words and phrases that would not be found in the time, place and setting of EverQuest (e.g. Switchblade, Phaser, Toaster, Cannabis).

Yikes

So this is what it comes to? Turning each other in? Surely we are not animals? What is this? WoW?

Even if your last name didn't violate the policy I still think its covered by:



I think most would agree with a staff member decision that "Elephant" is an improper name for an adventurer in Norath.

Also you could consider it covered by:



... but that's a bit of a stretch since "elephant" isn't a proper name.

P.S. Cheers to the staff on this. While we all remember that the naming policy wasn't enforced 100% religiously on live, it does seem (to me at least) that it was enforced a lot more than it has been here, so this feels like a welcome correction.

I completely disagree. It seems like a large ogre character having a name like Elephant (an animal which exists in Norrath) as a name makes sense in an RPG. Especially given that he's a shaman. That is really not much of a stretch at all.

The policy says first name changes will be provided if the name violates the policy. I don't see the spot where it says "We will change your name, without warning or chance to address the situation yourself. We will also do it mid group, causing you to zone, get kicked from the group, and lose pet. During a contested spawn also"

Perhaps you shouldn't have violated the rules of the server?

Fitting punishment.

The people who own the game consider these names acceptable
8. Names containing phrases are acceptable, so long as they do not violate any other section of this policy. Names such as "Wizzybattlecry Notintheface", "Amen Canigetarez", or "Healzu Likeabard" are examples of acceptable names.

That's not saying much though. The people who own the game also think its a good idea to let folks turn their pets into gingerbreadmen and to buy sex change pots.

Recently, the staff went ahead and changed several names of those in violation of the naming policy. I'll go ahead and post the policy here, just to save you time;



If your character name was part of this group, you may petition for a 1 time name change (within an acceptable time frame) so long as it adheres to the naming policy. Do not petition with the expectation of getting your original name back, it was changed for a reason. Thank you for your cooperation.

Loramin is a perfectly valid fantasy roleplay name in my opinion.
