Does this mean we're going to go on a rename crusade? Hell No
Does this mean we're going to drop everything we're doing because you got your name nerfed and so should that guy over there? Hell No
Does this mean we were tired of getting spammed with repetitive, bogus rename requests from people who just bought an account / wanted a clearly retarded name? Hell Yes

Thats all the needed to be said, thank you. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

How did you have 2 chars named Phil?

The following types of names are considered unacceptable:

• 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).

There is a blatant and unavoidable example of these naming violations well-known and obvious to everyone on this server.

Failure to act on that particular violation will clearly demonstrate favoritism on the part of the developers and administrators of this server, inequality in the application of the rules of the server and an overall corrupt server environment.

"Inglourious Basterds" is a 2009 American film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. The Inglourious Basterds guild website found at http://ib.guildlaunch.com/ makes use of (copyrighted) imagery and music from the film.

The unusual spelling of the guild name and use of elements directly from the movie make it impossible to deny that the guild Inglourious Basterds has taken its name from the movie. This is inarguably analogous to having guilds with names like "Star Trek: The Next Generation", "World of Warcraft", "Coldplay: Parachutes", "New York Times", "Daytona 500" or "Facebook".

The integrity of this naming policy, the server staff, the server itself and the gaming community of Project 1999 dictates that the guild Inglourious Basterds be renamed. Any other action will demonstrate that this policy is only applicable to individual users with no political power on the server and not to large raiding guilds whose guild leader is a member of the development staff.

Edit: Fixed link.

What this guy said. I would find it awesome if actually enforced, but I doubt it will be...cuz you know, that whole favortism/leaking of contested mob spawn times =P

[nymphloa]

I agree they should enforce this, so they want us to take what there doing seriously... where is the problem with that?

Get over yourselves already! its free you muppets.

Thanks Devs.

What if your surname is just your occupation? Growing up in Halas, my character made a name for himself running trains of polar bears to the guards, and/or dying at their feet.

Also, I just made a new character yesterday using the random name generator. It took about a dozen random names before one was accepted. One of the random names was simply the letter "u".

The policy is about character names, not guild names. The only restriction on guild names is that they can't be offensive.
