Cool. I bet the random name generator will get some use now that basically everything is against the rules.

This.

On the bright side, this has the potential to be the "Final Straw" to allow a lot of people to be done for good and get on with their lives.

I'd much rather see the sale of accounts in EC banned instead of this drastic step be taken. This step would eliminate a lot of creativity and good clean fun. Most of the joy of naming your toons is making other people laugh anyways, not seeing 8 million Treehuggers and Gnomeslayers surnames running around, which, oddly enough, is what the naming nazis are going to force people into.

I'm 100% behind GMs not being saddled with having to change first names, but this does seem a bit excessive. I am, however, aware that this decision wasn't made in haste and probably has a lot of solid reasoning behind it.

I agree with Bubbles - if the naming policy is too rigid, or too rigidly enforced, it takes away some of the fun and humorous aspects of the game.

I hope there's a balance between free for all and no soup for you.

Is it April? 'Cause lol that looks like a fuckin' April Fools post.

The policy isn't unreasonable, but they have their work cut out for sure. Fully half of the server violates it. I'm making a list for people who want their changed names to be known.

Well shit, there goes Wangstrong Lancelong, possibly the greatest RPG character name ever conceived.

[Noselacri]

Yeah =/

So much for my necro named Aids

While most of the stupid names don't bother me, this does. It is one step away from RMT and shouldn't be allowed.

Don't blame the name Nazis.

Blame the asshats that name their toons stuff like Fartface, and Pwnsnoobs who ruined it for everyone else.
