because a name is just a name in the end, players actions define them far more than a name ever will.

like if people were to go back and forth bickering over who is more butthurt on a forum... for example

If this was a specified RP server, RP names would be one thing. But it's not.

While EQ is an MMORPG, we all know that almost no one roleplayed on a non-roleplay server.

So, I say get over it, either /ignore the person if it bothers you that much, refuse to group with them, or whatever else you feel you need to do to enjoy your game.

Here is an idea. Form a Roleplaying guild and have a strict admittance policy on naming [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Play with these people almost exclusively. Mock the people with non-RP names in guildchat, or group chat, as you and yours have fun in EQ your way.

There are a few terrible names here and there. But glitch? Seriously? There is a glitch on every server I've ever played on.

there's an ipoopalot on every server i've ever played on


also,

the gm's/devs are giving their time to improve on this already awesome achievement (imo) and i'd rather they either get some time to play themselves or if they were to work on the game, fix something in-game that is a benefit to all.

I seen a corpse of Phucks today, I chuckled as I ran by.

I agree to a certain extend with the OP. Seen several idiotic names around that frankly pisses me off, like Buttseks - wth?

Random character names? All I want to know is has anyone seen Imhoteph?

Don't forget all the weed names. Yes, some folks on the server smoke weed, good for you. Honestly who gives a shit it's practically legal in the US now - that's like having a name like Ieatredmeat or Idrinkwater. It's supposed to ENHANCE your imagination - so get really baked and come up with a better name than "Smokesweed."

I agree that there are quite a few idiotic names on the server, and I wish they did not exist.. but, since there is nothing in place to stop them... not much can be said.

I generally prefer not to group with those type of characters named that way, as it would seem they are either a) really young/immature or b) could care less what happens if they grouped. This usually makes for a less than fun time when they do or say something retarded. (obviously this is not always the case, sometimes they turn out to be good players) But... sometimes there aren't enough people on, and you have to take what you can get.

So, with all that said, I think they only hurt their chances of being grouped with, and although some names are quite funny, some are just annoying and I just have to live with it.
