PSA: names should not contain titles or sentences

Am I the only one who thinks obsessing over the names of other players is probably the least of anyone's concerns? Why are we wasting the staff's time with this...on a volunteer emulator 20 years later. They didn't even care this much back in actual Classic, because you couldn't swing a rusty longsword without hitting someone named 'Legolasss' or 'Giimli'. I feel like as some players age they've lost the ability to have fun, and just want to shit on someone else's experience to feel validated.

So if no one follows the rules then it's ok to break them. Strong logic from a bunch of 40 year olds

See swish making multiple accounts to circumvent ban on these forums. Nothing ever happens. We were talking about someone's elf name here.

Or the rules could be loosened not to include harmless things, because being a hardass on an emulator 20-years later seems unnecessary. If a guy wants to name his Rogue 'Gimmeall Demgems' why make a big deal out of it? Let him enjoy himself... there's a lot worse things happening just outside your doors.

Naw naw

Also I have a batch of close too 100 name violations can we post them publicly or do they have to be submitted in private?

The 2 above postets are over 30 years of age and mad. Sorry you don't wanna follow the rules. Don't play here then.

What is with this ageism? I'm in my 30s and am against dumb and silly names.

Use the Petition forum, which is private to you and staff. Staff frown on publicly posting the contents of a petition.

Here’s what Saint Baler told me, blessed be his hand.

Like I saw a DE necro with miss spelled nword on day. They got him within an hour. The other way is to report people as you see them in game with /petition.

people knew I had done it when I publicly posted the same list I petitioned with the staff. (something you should never do. petition then publicly post about that petition)

Llandris was my hero and took down a bunch of immersion breaks. Then people got their panties in a bunch and there was a big backlash on the forums.

Sweet Jesus, post those publicly. I'm not nearly mad enough to furiously scribble down the names of 100 strangers little tongue-in-cheek character names on a 20-year-old Elf simulator. Show me what true rage looks like.

You could talk to the staff about changing the rules. With the rules as-is, though, they should be respected.

There are some name violations I don’t mind, and even some I like. Each of us must choose where to draw the line. You are welcome to petition only vulgar names, or none at all. If everyone petitions the worst 1% of the bad names they see, we’ll have a more fantastic Norrath.

I, for one, greatly enjoyed grouping with Vageena Clamsmasher recently. High immersion levels all around.

If the James Bond universe can have a Pussy Galore, why can't Norrath have a Vageena Clamsmasher?
