By adding names continuously, you have found the perfect recipe to keep people rustled, because eventually nearly every player on the server will find one of their alt's names on your lists!

Is Baler part of <Rustle> ? That would be even more ironic and hilarious!

That's a great question! Enquiring minds want to know!

Yawn. No, not the name, just my feeling about this thread.

I am not in any guild on blue or red.

The following names are considered unacceptable.
Vile, profane, rude, or racist names including common swear words, anatomical references, racial slurs, and homonyms of these words.
Combinations of words that produce an offensive result (e.g. Hugeazz, Tug Mcgroin).
Names of religious, occult, or significant historic origin (e.g. Jesus, Allah, Satan, Stalin).
Copyrighted or trademarked names of products, characters, services, or concepts (e.g. Bigmac, Marlboro, Sony).
Names from popular media. These names can be either fictional (e.g. Rambo, Darthvader) or non-fictional (e.g. Garth Brooks, Pierce Brosnan, George Washington, Michael Jordan).
Common words and phrases that would not be found in the time, place and setting of EverQuest (e.g. Switchblade, Phaser, Toaster, Cannabis).
Proper names from EverQuest (e.g. Rathe, Karana). This also includes the first or last name of any significant EverQuest NPC (e.g. Dorn, Trumpy, Karn).

Does treehugger trigger you Baler?

I think you started to stutter there at the end, Jon... lol

To me... I believe that if it's not offensive or blatantly idiotic, it's passable. But I also believe there are countless creative names to be made that fit in a fantasy setting such as P1999. But what do I know?

Bran Muffin is legit an amazing name. Respect.

[tobolamr]

OK this is my last post in this thread... I swear!

Yes, Bran Muffin is a legit name. It is definitely regular.

No disrespect meant - just trying to bring a smile to your day.

How do we go about reporting bad player names?

[Thulack]

I would like to report Baler for using a name of farm equipment in Everquest. He is killing my Immersion.
