It's time to consider revising the Naming Policy

[Croco]

Sorry you have no imagination and could only come up with shitty names in violation of the rule. I've petitioned over 500 names and I will keep going. I'm the name policies #1 snitch and no one is safe.

Any resemblance that I may bear to any mildly bitchy side characters, living or dead, in any form of media, is purely coincidental.

I am absolutely pro-enforcement of the original naming rules within the world of Norrath.

When I was Guide for EQ it was my everlasting joy to get tickets for names to review and get them nerfed when needed. There's no point in having naming rules if they aren't enforced. I've been in several MMOs, run multiple guilds, and those games that actually enforce their rules end up having better player bases overall. It sends a message to trolls, and the like, that they either need to play nice with others or find someplace else to play.

There's really no excuse for a name that violates the naming policy. The rules aren't that hard to follow. And yes, dumb names that have nothing to do with the genre, world, or lore do, in fact, break immersion for other players who have to look at that bad name or interact with that dumb character. It's passive-aggressive trolling to intentionally have a bad name just because one thinks it's 'cute' or funny.

It's not difficult to create a decent in-genre name. If one truly lacks the IQ or mental skillset to create a decent name, go find a fantasy name generator. There are dozen of those out there on the net.

(I'm new here and bound to make friends, or enemies, with this post! Of course, that's not my intention, but I know some people are just as passionate about a free-for-all naming policy as I am about nerfing every Ganddalf*, Jedimazter*, Toasterlover*, Lordoveru*, Crackpleasre*, etc there is.[You must be logged in to view images.

*Any name referred to above was made up randomly as I wrote this and have no relationship to anyone in this game world. If someone is actually named one of those names, then it's purely coincidental... and shame on you! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

So I'm gonna assume this is because of "Spags" to OP.... sure he can claim it is short for spaghetti all he wants but anyone that's Italian on this server prolly thinks it's the racist slang version. Therefore even if he yells spaghetti all he wants others can and will still perceive it to be the latter. Therefor it has to be changed even if there is just the chance it's racist. Due to that fact it can make Italian born players on our server feel uncomfortable.

IMO u shouldn't be able to pick you own name you should have to submit a request to the community and they will democratically pick your name for you.
