More names as of this post:

Frostalf
Opened
Farsight
Decimation
Bagztofull
Healgoddess
Hider
Likmule
Pymp
Flipps

I have noticed a step up on making sure to name big guild player names in the last few lists... Are you deliberately targeting these guys? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Thanks for asking this as I have been meaning to clear the water on that subject.
The names in the lists I post are not targeted towards any specific race, class, guild or player group. It's 100% as I see the names I add them to the list. I also do a /who in east commons and if I don't find many I'll do a /w all 60, /w all 59, etc. I also don't only pick names at certain times of the day. When I look for names is totally random.

How much is this part-time job paying you Baler?

You wouldn't happen to be some sort of tax auditor IRL would you? Or, maybe a street police officer? Or, perhaps some sort of quality control specialist at a manufacturing company? Just saying, the dialogue you use sure sounds familiar! They always say "totally random" too. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

This thread belongs in RnF.

It is obviously a rant.

I agree with the original intention of this thread. Devs probably dont enforce the policy because P99 isnt really just a game anymore - it's kind of become a social space for people who were into EQ to be able to interact. So the casual, comedy names, if they arent obscene, are allowed to let people just hang out casually. Itd definitely be more of a magical fantasy immersive game if the name policy was enforced, but I dont think that's what P1999 is now - and that's not surprising considering how old this experience is and how familiar most everyone who plays it already is with it.
That probably prevents the GMs from really enforcing the policy. But I agree that the policy should be MORE enforced - probably not how it shouldve been in 1999, but at least to get rid of the names that really kind of hurt to look at.

Frostalf

I would like to report myself for having a Gnome named 'Clarkey' that i leveled... as by definition it is clearly an inapropriate word.

I'm embarrassed now to play it, as i didn't realize its meaning at creation. If you want I have a more appropriate name picked out that can be used.
