While I can see the hypocrisy it's a free player run server and they can do whatever they want really.. they could ban you just because they thought your character looked at them funny. It sucks but that's the double edged sword that is p99.
Maybe roll a monk named "Mericafist"

Surely you have to understand why your politically charged, 'immersion breaking' name is an issue. The issue isn't simply that you used a name that also references a place out of game, but that you used a name that explicitly references a place out of game. Menden and Rogean may very well have out of game matches, but unless there was a surname to go along with that which made it more specific there really shouldn't be an issue. For example, if you had used Georgia as a name, sure it is a state and country but it's also a recognizable name elsewhere. Now if you had used Georgia with Atlanta as a surname, there would be an issue.

Additionally, you are not able to use a name which forms a phrase. Americafirst is clearly a phrase.

Your name breaks TOS for 2 separate reasons. Just move on mate.

The attempts to snitch on GMs for supposedly naming themselves after shit like “Medris Healthcare Solutions” is truly inspired. OP has real P99 EQ potential.

Your name is lame for an EQ character imo, but despite that the naming policy is one of the most arbitrarily enforced rules on the server and you should expect no consistency or precedent to set any kind of standard. I mean, isn't the name of a prominent guild leader Khall Drogo? I know there's quite a few other high level characters that they have let slide for years. There was even a list going on the forums at one point. It has nothing to do with immersion and everything to do with someone reporting you and a staff member agreeing they don't like the name.
