I think you're misunderstanding what a "phrase" is. No, I don't think there's any problem with "Cryptwalker" and I think 95% of players would agree. But that's just it -- it's not a phrase.

"Show me the money" is a popular phrase, ergo, "Showme Themoney" should not be an acceptable name. Quite a bit different than a surname of Cryptwalker.

THIS

People would use the location the grew up in, the trade they practiced and any number of other things as part of their name.

Surnames like Fallenleaf for a druid, would be totally legit.
Bearpaw for a shaman is also totally legit and 100% fits in the spirit or EQ and fantasy RPG's in general. Do you actually think tribal names didn't exist in the middle ages? And what does EQ have to do with Earth's middle ages anyway? I have never read this in any EQ manual. It's a completely different universe.

Bonebreaker, Melodious, Lightningrod, (just some random names) would also be legit fantasy based names or surnames.

You are completely misunderstanding what the naming policy is on live.

God, you guys fall for this name change troll every time. Frefaln is undoubtedly a troll account... and if he wasn't, he is now!

Nope, not a troll at all. It's unfortunate that you can't recognize when someone actually wants a bit of a standard upheld in the game, but that's your problem. I'm not paid to be your therapist.

So...

To be correct for the middle ages, a troll named Poopie Pants should really be named Poopie Pantaloons?

Nor are you paying a subscription fee to play here. I think I can understand where you are coming from, but I can't agree with why you are doing it. It seems like this is more of a "This is MY experience everyone else is ruining" sense of entitlement. Well, in a way it is a collective experience and not just here to cater to your whims. Yes yes, some names are just plain vulgar and whatever, but honestly, you should just /ignore and /showname 1 .

That takes considerably less administrative effort than asking already busy people to run at your beck and call to change a name that only you seem to be offended by. You should really consider seeing someone about your control issues. IMO, a person who is so tightly-wound and controlling in a game may not have control in some arena of their own life and may need some counseling. Get help...If not for your sake, at least do it for the community.

EQ doesn't take place in the middle ages. Nor do most fantasy games for that matter.

100% guaranteed troll. Move this shit to R&F if you'd be so kind mods.

^ Don't you ever get tired of resorting to childish "troll" accusations because someone disagrees with you? But hey, I'm seeing a pattern here. Childish accusations and generalizations seem to be the two weapons of those defending the childish player names.
