Name Changes

EQ Live had considerably less naming violations, and almost no obvious ones for two reasons.

1.) When you requested a name a character selection it was checked against a database of obvious naming violations (swears, celebrities, etc)

2.) If it passed the first check, a tiny box(rez/tl box style) would pop up to any server guides that were online at the time and they would have 30 seconds to approve or disapprove the name, if no one approved/disproved it within 30 seconds, it was automatically approved.

I remember one night, back when duels were server-wide, two people were dueling with names like:

"Tuthpaste has defeated Cavitiez in a fight to the death"
"Lookskywalkr has defeated Darthvayder in a fight to the death"
etc..

Then, finally, they did:
"Wetakeadvantage has defeated Ofnohgms in a fight to the death".

It was like 18 years ago, but I found it hilarious then and still do

can we even the playing field and change some characters that have "special" names too? for example, characters whos name starts with a lower case.

" misaligned"
"necroma ncer"

so how long has it taken for peoples petition for name change taken? I logged in for the first time in a month finding my characters name changed. And do I have to stay logged in to get this changed?
On another note, is the crusade for reporting other peoples names still a thing?

I petitioned to remove my monk's surname like 8 months ago and it's still there, so Idk.

That said, as I'm just seeing this thread now, I am offering up the removal of my level 27 Barbarian Rogue's surname. His name is Ganorin Clegane. Just please don't screw up his first name. It was the name of my best friend's first toon on live and he is no longer with us.

I petitioned someone called Turdberglerr yesterday.

Really hoping GMs dedicated mroe time to the CLEANSING
