Wasn't informed, bad GM experience for sure. Goes back to when Uthgaard and Hobby were still around, though I think Amelinda flipped the switch.

Yes, she loved to take any excuse to get on a soapbox. TBH, I loved some of the inappropriate names. And since P99 isnt a profit based entity, there was no obligation to keep anyone from naming themselves after popular fiction. Which meant that doing so was just empty powermongering.

yup Samwise Gamgee for life

I would prefer that all names got accepted.

For a few days, I actually pretended not to notice the petition yiblaan sent to turn flaming gaze into whatever they had me rename it to. I was hoping he would change his mind, because the name made me laugh.

Bottom line, pornographic/drug/copyrighted names/etc weren't in classic. If they were, they always got petitioned and changed. Very few ever slipped through the cracks, cause people were all over that shit.

I know you think you're all cool and stuff because Suckin Yourtits is your main. giggle giggle.

It has nothing to do with roleplay or not. People let their kids play this game.
I don't really need to explain to him who Cummin Inyourmouth is, or Bigphat Bongpulls is

Content is generally suitable for ages 13 and up. May contain violence, suggestive themes, crude humor, minimal blood, simulated gambling, and/or infrequent use of strong language.

So because you are letting your kids play that are not of age; others are supposed to abide by your own made up rules? Cool.
13 year olds these days hear a lot worse things at school than names like "Cummin Inyourmouth is, or Bigphat Bongpulls" if you don't think so, you're naive.

Get over it and play. Like others have said, if someone else's name ruins your gaming experience you definitely are playing the wrong game and are in the wrong community. The GM's don't need to waste their time with this crap, there are a lot of other issues as in any other issue that should take precedence over someone's feelings getting hurt because of a character name.

Some of them are downright hysterical, some of them are incredibly stupid, and the few that were really pushing it I admit to petitioning. That said, knowing this server like I do, I don't let my kids play it.

Ephi named raped my druid in blackburrow last week (i suspect a petty jelous fuck from my group snitched me out while i was helping them get there corpse back no less). What could possibly be wrong with the name "Dild Odaggins"? It's funny, its a fantasy reference, its roleplay and to be quite honest its completely non offensive. Anyone here offended by female masturbation? If so, seek theropy.

[HawkMasterson1999]

Yes, female halfling in case anyone was wondering.

I think a name should only be changed if...

1. It's an obvious sexual reference. Who cares if a GM offends the virgin who picked that name.

2. It's boring an unimaginative related to the character class, example: Ihealstuff. If you can't do better than that, uninstall EverQuest and try bashing your head into the wall repeatedly.

3. It's related to an overplayed meme or joke that stopped being funny 2 years ago.

4. It's a weed reference. You play a 12 year old MMORPG. Obviously you smoke a grip of weed. WE KNOW, ok, you aren't cool. Everyone smokes weed, even your fucking grandmother.
