Name change candidate list

Most of these are pretty awful. I would like to do some of the people on this list a favor by bringing their crappy names to the GMs attention so that maybe they'll be lucky enough to get a better one.

I got one

Douchey McFivePost

[Arkis]

Going to say: inb4 R&F.

But seriously...some of those names seem like personal taste hate. I don't find many of them "horrible" at all...

Lessplay for example I find nothing wrong with that he's a bard! (Maybe im missing a reference?) What's wrong with Wikicat?

Hell a lot of those names:

Greenpeace - maybe not a reference to greenpeace... he IS a druid in all green

Fearstalker - so what? you can be known as Fearstalker the horrible assassin if you want RPing.

Fatbody - Dude is an ogre.

Let the GMs do their own policing =P.

On a side note anyone notice that we have gone from camping of raid bosses last week to now naming policies?...lol...

[frefaln]

And I already mentioned it in another thread, but "Shitster" has been alive and well for a few days now, up to level 22 now. It'll be interesting to see if these people get away with this childish nonsense. We're at a point where we can establish what type of server this will be: one with at least the impression of integrity, or one where kiddies have their way.

There's a difference between "Sweaty Nutz" and "Blahblah". Just because you don't like a name doesn't mean it's childish nonsense.

[frefaln]

And I don't see your point, considering the name I listed was very similar to the one you just mentioned. And frankly, I couldn't care less about your assessment of my opinion.

[Pyrocat]

You missed my point then. I was saying Shitster should probably be changed (but I doubt it's high on any GM's priority). Blahblah should not.

Classically, none of these names would remain untouched forever on any 1999 server. I'm essentially going by similar naming policy to classic official EQ servers and are detrimental to the "classic" feel of the server. Personal taste enters into it a little bit, but for the most part the criteria are objective. Descriptive names, offensive terms, titles instead of names, references to controversial subjects, phrases, just plain juvenile shit, etc.

[Tseng]

What are the chances you have the balls to post what your toon's name is?

[Arkis]

How do you know the naming policies of classic? I don't want to look it up, but yes "offensive terms", "titles instead of names", and "references to controversial subjects" seem like they should be removed classic or not.

However descriptive names are one thing that I don't remembering being enforced. If by that you mean something like "Fearstalker", "Wikicat", or "Fatbody". Then go here:

http://project1999.org/forums/showthread.php?t=7523

Similar names can be found as a "Classic name" to list a few:

Triumph
Soulcat
Bardic
Dangergirl
Celestialsky

So, some of the names you mentioned, by the classic criteria you want to follow, would not be there. But I have gone on long enough, you have your opinion and I have mine =)... in the end the GMs rule hehe.

[Cyrano]

Wouldn't last on live? LMAO ok.

I knew a guy who played a character named Fuxxalot to level 60. My rogue's name was Shabster Shanksalot. My friend and I had a duo team named John Stockten and Karl Marlone... GMs could give two shits unless it blatantly cussed.

Particular instances of names slipping through the cracks don't contradict anything I've said.

[Kerygma]

People complaining about name changes are either tattle-tales or just being spiteful dicks.

[Vylo]

You can go by this rough guidelines:

No titles, Name and Lastname should not form words or phrases, Names should not be phrases, brand names, etc. ...

http://project1999.org/forums/showpost.php?p=77507&postcount=22


Just about every name in Siri's list violates the rule as laid out by Cyrius, who is a Senior Server Guide here. You can use common sense to know that those names are god-awful, or you can apply the rule quoted above to figure it out.

[frefaln]

People complaining about name changes are either tattle-tales or just being spiteful dicks.

Don't worry, I'm 34 years old and I've discovered by now that a little bit of integrity is more important than worrying about whether someone thinks I'm a snitch, tattle-tale, etc. Yes, I'll identify and report blatantly offensive names and I don't care what that makes me in your eyes.

[Combo]

What's the over/under on siri being another eqdruid troll account?

Likewise for the first-post-holier-than-thou above.

[Alawen Everywhere]

I do hope your in-game name is not a homophone/alternate spelling for "Free Falling" because that seems like a naming violation.

Nope, it's not, thanks for your concern though!

[nerfed]

You would have to add Siri to that list since it is a trademarked name. SIRIUS XM Radio Inc. (SIRI) (http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=siri)

80% of the names on this server are probably against everquests naming policy. Most people, including myself, use the same name from game to game. This isn't a roleplay server so unless it's vulgar I don't see any harm in letting people be creative.

[Walabaego]

^ ^ ^

[soup]

I kinda feel sorry for this guy to be honest. How bitter does someone need to be to compile a list of this many names and post it on the forums hoping to get them changed?

[Shurid]

The policy will not be scrapped, it will be enforced. You can help out if you petition characters with such names, and this is no favorism. Sooner or later i will get you all

Posted by a server guide, the OP is just pointing out a few people who he "feels" violated the naming policy. Leave it to the guides/gm's/developers to determine if the names should be changed.

It is not up to you to determine if the names are ok, so stfu.

[mitic]

Siri are you bored or did someone steal your lunch-packet at elementary school?

[Toony]

You would have to add Siri to that list since it is a trademarked name. SIRIUS XM Radio Inc. (SIRI) (http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=siri)

Sirius is the trademarked name, SIRI is the stock symbol. Many stock symbols appear as common words, for example John Deers symbol is "DEER", hardly a word that could be trademarked.

[nerfed]

that was just an example, how about http://siri.com/. Anything would really work for a eq live gm, they are not picky.

[guineapig]

One of my favorite tanks on live was Sheeron Collision. Say him through PoP, LDoN, GoD. He never had an issue with his name.

[ukaking]

My main on Live was Sslipknot Oppressor, Ikky warrior for 67 levels. Also used Superloco Spineripper, Ikky SK and Soulsick Damentia, Ikky Necro, Spiritwalkr, Ikky shaman.
None had an issue with naming policy.
The only times I got hammered for my names were...

Afrodeesiak- Erudite Wizzy (Drew to much attention to myself killing people in the Field of Bone, rapping in ooc while I was killing them and screaming about how they stole all the chicken from Erudin and they would pay with their lives until I got the chicken back for the sake of Erudin's economy)

Dragnet- Ikky SK (My friends and I made a bunch of lowbie chars with cop style names and would run around newbie area of Field of Bone attacking people saying, we got a 187 in progress and book em' Dan-O.)

[fastboy21]

Frankly, like others have said, there are some names on the list that would pass muster on some of the old live servers and some that would not. There are a very few that I think almost any reasonable person would object to, but the vast majority would have a variety of opinions on them.

I guess if the OPs intent was to help the GMs find names of ppl that need a renaming then he is trying to be helpful...if, on the other hand, he is trying to push his opinions as to what is reasonable then he needs to piss off.

I think the community votes with its behavior when it comes time for "Shitster" or "Ballsucker" to apply to a guild. I wouldn't even look at these guys for my old raiding guild past their name on their app post.

But that is a community standard, not something the game needs to necessarily address with forced name changes.

[frefaln]

^ For what it's worth, I agree that there are several tiers of offensiveness here. Even though I agree that many of the names on the OP's list are guilty of "breaking immersion", I'm not personally one that gets upset about it. But if the OP does get get upset about it, that's his right and his business.

The tier of offensiveness I do object to, and will continue to speak out against, are names like the ones you mentioned. Just yesterday a toon named "Buttnugget" joined my orc2 group. I don't feel like looking at that name for hours or dealing with a person who would choose that name, I don't care how good a player they are. If that makes me uptight, controlling, or whatever label some of you want to apply, so be it. It's like I said in another thread — population is starting to explode on P99 and we're at a crossroads; we can either let the kiddies run rampant with disgusting names or we can set a firm policy now. Some of you act like it's a power-trip because we want to apply standards, and I say baloney.

[Mehav]

I haven't played for a few months, but I think it's kinda hilarious how picky people are starting to get about this. I played a troll shaman named Mehav Itchybawz through classic and up until omens of war basically, ran into gm's many times, had many conversations with them and never once was my name warned or removed. In fact multiple times they praised me for originality and thought it was a great comedic name, fitting for a troll.

There is a fine line though between poking fun at your race or class combinations and vulgar names like Kumbucket or celebrity names and some of the other retarded names people throw around here. In the end this is up to the discretion of the gms obviously but I can only hope you guys are going after the actual offensive names and not fun ones for the love of god. If people don't personally like a name because it isn't rp enough then that is their problem. Renaming people based on comedic combinations or phrases is fail imo, that is like the bread and butter of any gaming name/alias, as long as it is not offensive toward people I really don't get why you would enforce it, especially here.

From an RP aspect, it is quite possible that your toon's "parents" were as effed-up as some RL ones by choosing "cute" or "funny" names for their kids.

Examples:
Kal-El Coppola (Nicholas Cage's)

Moon-Unit Zappa
Dweezil Zappa

Other names:

Pina Colada, Cosmo Ranger, Yahoo,
Wrangler, Candy Stohr, Seamore Butts, Harry Bush, Page Turner, Lotta Bull, Nighten Day ET AL...

IMO, unless it is something downright freaking nasty or racist, the names should stay.

[soup]

I still don't understand why people care so much about other people's names.

I mean, yeah, if you have kids who play or want to watch you play or whatever, you don't want them to see names like "ANALJIZZLASER" but honestly, how small of a fraction of names that get nerfed are anywhere that that level?

[Aadill]

you don't want them to see names like "ANALJIZZLASER"

I'm making an alt with that name right now.

[pickled_heretic]

Let's see the current naming policy be actively enforced. If enough people get their names changed, there will be enough motivation to get the official naming policy updated.

[Feiel]

A few to add...

Rogean
Nilbog
Secrets
Aeolwind
Mixxit
Cyrius
Feiel
Haynar
Bumamgar

Reason: Using names of staff members of the project1999 server. You fuckers! More to add...

[bionicbadger]

Moon-Unit Zappa
Dweezil Zappa


Dweezil had to get his name legally changed to Dweezil since thats what his parents wanted to name him, but the hospital wouldn't enter that name on their records.

And Moon unit got her name from a) being their first child and thus making their family "unit", and b) Moon because its a normal name in other languages - "luna", "tsuki" etc so Frank thought why not in English?

[Willis]

How about name changes such as I want MYYYYY name :(

Who has the name Willis and why aren't you using it! I want the name!

Also, I saw the best name yesterday: Fore Skin

[Yoite]

this shit is fucking retarded

[Lucrio40]

dicksucker's many bodies have been floating around the kelethin lifts for a while.

I must admit, I laughed at the name HIVpositive.

[gnomishfirework]

I never got the whole name police thing. Overly dumb "RP" names annoy me more, to be honest. I guess cause you know they made an effort to have a good name, whereas people with stupid names were just trying to be stupid.

[Kainzo]

I remember that guy named "Slutmagic" .. it was pretty funny. Glad they changed it though.

[Alawen Everywhere]

Well, now I'm curious. Is my surname objectionable? Not only did I have that surname on live, I had it on Xev, Sullon Zek, Kane Bayle and Stromm. (Yes, I leveled four druids on live.)

[Kainzo]

It could be construed as being a problem, however here's the kicker.

As being a Senior Guide and working with the GM staff, 95% of the time they did not go on witch hunts. They only CHANGED surnames and names if players petitioned saying "IT IS RUINING MY GAMING EXPERIENCE!" unless of course the first / last name was really offense like "ngrfgt" or something stupid.

Bottom line, if someone complained it got changed if it didnt meet policies, unless it was racist, etc otherwise if they saw it, they'd change it and take action against your account.

[Bones]

I kinda feel sorry for this guy to be honest. How bitter does someone need to be to compile a list of this many names and post it on the forums hoping to get them changed?
This.
He obviously is one of those people who had their names changed and is mad about it.

[Ozz]

This is crazy. If the name offends you, that is one thing...if you just dont like the name being used, lighten the @#%$ up. GMs nerfed one of my toons on live...my alt's name was Dymebagg. The ONLY reason he nerfed it was because of the drug reference. Funny thing is, he changed it to Dimeadozen...so the GM changed my name to a name that violates the naming policy. That is how much they cared about it.

[Qaedain]

"ngrfgt"

Pineapple.

[Striiker]

Since I see my character's name on the list.. "Fearstalker", I wanted to point out something. I have a character named "Fearstalker" on two live servers (one enchanter and one monk). It passed the name checks and I have interacted directly with GM's and Guides on the live servers with these characters without issue. I also have a character "Deathstalker" (here as my Shadow Knight) and other variants of the two names on Live.
The main thing about the name filter / corrective action from GM's, is to address stuff like non-fantasy phrases, offensive names, titles, product names, etc. I was a guide for a couple of years on live and I know what name types were considered unacceptable. We tried to be fair and flexible but some names were clearly unacceptable. I was surprised at the names which I saw here and assumed that there wasn't a name policy. It was not until about a week ago that I learned that there is a name policy which is in effect and enforced. Remember also that a name change hurts the person playing the game too (especially if playing the character for a long time and has built a reputation and list of friends) so I think that in such cases, unless the name is in clear need of a change, that it should be left as is. If I recall correctly, if a character was past 20, the name would need to be clearly in need of a change, lower than that and the GM was much more willing to change it. (Guides couldn't change names, just note it and escalate to the server GM / include in our shift notes)

[Striiker]

Who has the name Willis and why aren't you using it! I want the name!

Also, I saw the best name yesterday: Fore Skin

I can't resist...

What you talkin' 'bout Willis?

[slydexx]

Is it really that much of an issue or hurts your feeling that much that people gotta complain about a toons name?
Who cares? its a game lighten up, people dont like something and they think its ok to deny or take it away from someone else..as long as it doesnt affect them!
Who really cares about a name. goofy or silly or what ever.

[frefaln]

^ I care. Blatantly offensive and/or disgusting names detract from my gaming experience and I will say so. You will not stop me from doing so.

[Kyronix]

I definitely agree that bad names should be changed or altered to maybe one from some random list of generated fantasy names. I am sad but I fear my name may fall under the bad side of the strict rules of naming ones character.

On live when I started my character was a Dark Elf Shadowknight named Darkvex. Took me about a month or a little more to get to level 20. I was so excited because I became Darkvex Dreadknight the level 20 SK.

I love my name and it has served me well in the years of RP and playing games, however, if it does violate and I have to take one for the team to get rid of these terrible... they arent even names really, then I will and I'll be the first to have a new name.

[frefaln]

^ why would that name violate the rules? Seems fine to me, unless "Darkvex" is a well-known fantasy character that I'm unaware of.

[Kyronix]

Dark and Vex, combo of 2 words. Everyone always called me DV when raiding.

My rogue in WoW is named Protoncannon :( but thats wow, it just invites retarded names

[frefaln]

Eh, hopefully that's what gets sorted out when the naming policy is formally established. I would think that a very small percentage of players would object to something like "Darkvex". Conversely, I would hope that a very high percentage would find "Buttnugget" or "Hivpositive" unacceptable.

I'm confident that common-sense discretion will win by the time all is said and done.

Exactly! This is again why I am confused as to why Fearstalker, Wikicat, and now Pyrocat is on there?

Maybe it's just me but I think after he got offended by Pyrocat, the OP put Pyro on his list, along with all his characters listed on his sig. Pyrocat was a ranger in live whom I played with for many years and he even participated in MANY GM events, interacted with MANY GMs, and not once did they even care about his name.

Again, people look at the classic name list... these names were not all that uncommon. Just saying.... there is a difference between Lezbos(I've see this one around) and Fearstalker (Sorry for using your name but I do not find this offensive or not fantasy-like in anyway).

I had a Wizard on live named Synge Drakesphyre. That was a name which fit and was better than the generated weird names for Erudites!

Motherfucker shouldn't have looked at me funny, or taken my pencil, and lets face it, sneaking into a theater is stealing. You are taking money from the proprietor of the establishment.

The concept of being a rat, is foolish to begin with. It was developed by assholes to corral the stupid into an abiding mass that would let them do bad things to people. Notice that snitching being bad only comes up pretty much in Prison... PRISON.

All perfectly fine in my book but some border on that phrase thing, although even if someone really wanted to rail against the phrase thing, none of those names would be "foreign" to Norrath.

Not talking about changing his name. Talking about people knowing what his name is so we can avoid him for being a prick. Very similar to eqdruid being exposed as Madradh.

Its in the first post of this thread. President Marijuana. I am on the list of getting a change. I don't have a sig, because I don't need a sig. Good job with the reading there bud.

Well, the GMs can:

a.) Spend time changing the hundreds of non-offensive names that don't fit the nonexistant naming policy.

OR

b.) Ignore the 5 people* that bitch on the forums about those hundreds and do something productive with their GM powaz.

GEE I WONDER WHICH WILL HAPPEN



*(ie, troll accounts).

[Falisaty]

LOL i had a bard female woodelf i created for my wife that played her off and on to 35 named Idomen Forfiveplat on live. (still is on their) so i know gms dont give two shits about names......

on a different note the firs hour on she was given a full set of bard armor from Karnors or what ever that place was/is in kunark... cant remember as its been so long since iv step into the zone..

[kulltc]

lol get over it dude. this is maxitaxi and my customers love me! want to report me? how about my surname. its actually much like you. springfresh. being a scent of douche. you should try it. that aside. some of us have REAL problems in (ready for this) REAL LIFE and just want to play this game to escape sometimes and relax. get a job. and a life, (yeah right) just play the game.....on a side note a name like hivpositive. uncool. but my guildies name got changed from lostprophets. what if the CIA showed up to your house and just changed your name? or the forums made you post your address with your posts. would you still be talking? i think not. maybe one of us lives down the street from you. food for thought. well that was fun. maxinne signing off! lova ya!:D

[Bruster]

How about name changes such as I want MYYYYY name :(

Who has the name Willis and why aren't you using it! I want the name!

Also, I saw the best name yesterday: Fore Skin

thank u sir. and to the haters, fuck off! it is a free emu server, try and have some fun.

[frefaln]

thank u sir. and to the haters, fuck off! it is a free emu server, try and have some fun.

Nope, I'm not going anywhere. And the name Fore Skin should be changed. It's funny to a 9-year-old and people with incredibly low standards for humor, that's about it.

And that's just the thing — I am trying to have some fun, and my fun is slightly reduced when I see crappy toilet-humor names all over the place. Get used to it, kiddo, I'm not going to "fuck off" or just drop it.

i have yet to have anyone in game complain about my name, although i have had a lot of people laugh and like it. i guess youre one of the few with a stick up your ass, but that's fine, i find it very amusing.

and if youre fun is "slightly reduced" out of everquest by once in awhile seeing a name that is ''crappy, toliet-humor'' then you have problems. and you posted that at 2:13am, isnt it past your bedtime, grandpa?

Apparently you're unaware that it's not the same time in all parts of the world simultaneously. I suggest you Google "time zones" at your earliest convenience.

oh sorry guy. you should google the lowest prices on the everquest titanium game pack (amazon has em for 50 bucks new!) and buy one so the rest of us dont have to hear you bitching and the paid gm's there can do there job to assist hard asses like yourself.

Some names are funny, some are borderline offensive, but the people with these names seem to put up with it, i personally wouldn't like having a name relating to toilet humour.

[kariden]

Dont like the name then just fucking /ignore the person and move on.
Dont like surnames then guess what, /showname 1.

"Name cant be a phrase..." Most RP names or names from middle ages which comprise the Fantasy MMO name set were phrases. People would use the location the grew up in, the trade they practiced and any number of other things as part of their name.

Some of this rational is retarded. I bet you would object to my paladins surname of "Cryptwalker" which I would retort with, I am a fucking paladin tasked with destroying the undead from these cursed graveyards and battle field crypts.

You sound like you belong in some second rate communist country you control freak.

[frefaln]

No. I should not have to make changes on my end just to accommodate people with offensive names. I want to see most names and surnames -- the players who insist on being offensive with their choices should be the ones that are required to make changes, not the ones with a bit of maturity.

"Name cant be a phrase..." Most RP names or names from middle ages which comprise the Fantasy MMO name set were phrases. People would use the location the grew up in, the trade they practiced and any number of other things as part of their name.

I think you're misunderstanding what a "phrase" is. No, I don't think there's any problem with "Cryptwalker" and I think 95% of players would agree. But that's just it -- it's not a phrase.

"Show me the money" is a popular phrase, ergo, "Showme Themoney" should not be an acceptable name. Quite a bit different than a surname of Cryptwalker. Edit: and though I'm not crazy about "Showme Themoney" as a potential name, I wouldn't report it. It's still a far cry from juvenile garbage like "Fore Skin".

THIS

Surnames like Fallenleaf for a druid, would be totally legit.
Bearpaw for a shaman is also totally legit and 100% fits in the spirit or EQ and fantasy RPG's in general. Do you actually think tribal names didn't exist in the middle ages? And what does EQ have to do with Earth's middle ages anyway? I have never read this in any EQ manual. It's a completely different universe.

Bonebreaker, Melodious, Lightningrod, (just some random names) would also be legit fantasy based names or surnames.

You are completely misunderstanding what the naming policy is on live.

God, you guys fall for this name change troll every time. Frefaln is undoubtedly a troll account... and if he wasn't, he is now!

Nope, not a troll at all. It's unfortunate that you can't recognize when someone actually wants a bit of a standard upheld in the game, but that's your problem. I'm not paid to be your therapist.

So...

To be correct for the middle ages, a troll named Poopie Pants should really be named Poopie Pantaloons?

Nor are you paying a subscription fee to play here. I think I can understand where you are coming from, but I can't agree with why you are doing it. It seems like this is more of a "This is MY experience everyone else is ruining" sense of entitlement. Well, in a way it is a collective experience and not just here to cater to your whims. Yes yes, some names are just plain vulgar and whatever, but honestly, you should just /ignore and /showname 1 .

That takes considerably less administrative effort than asking already busy people to run at your beck and call to change a name that only you seem to be offended by. You should really consider seeing someone about your control issues. IMO, a person who is so tightly-wound and controlling in a game may not have control in some arena of their own life and may need some counseling. Get help...If not for your sake, at least do it for the community.

You would lose that bet. You'll notice there are no surnames which would fall under the same category as yours on the list, descriptive surnames are fine if they're not juvenile or assisting the first name in some kind of phrase.

[mr.miketastic]

, descriptive surnames are fine if they're not juvenile or assisting the first name in some kind of phrase.

I am curious about that post, because the impression I am getting is that since you are offended, everyone else needs to bend to your wishes. I hate to say this, but if a simple name causes you so much grief, you may want to consider playing in a more tightly controlled sandbox.

[Kainzo]

Name yourself with some pride and diginity. I usually take EQ naming as serious as naming a pet or a child. Would you really want to holler it out the name when in the back yard? "GET IN HERE SHITFNGERAGOT!" - I think not. Perhaps the majority of players are too used to the WoW naming policies these days, who knows.

[Lazortag]

Some of the halflings in Rivervale have last names that seem questionable (Flyddia Deeppockets, for instance). I think the question should be, "could an NPC plausibly have this name?" before any action is taken on whether a name/surname combination is against the rules.

Most of the name changes I've seen were not that unreasonable and I honestly wouldn't have whined about it the way some of you do.

PS, Cyrius is a homophone of Sirius or Serious, both of which are not consistent with Thine Roleplaying Experience, and should be changed *immediately*.

Xegony = Oxygen
Veeshan = Heavens
Tarew Marr = Water
Povar = Vapor
E'ci = Ice
Rodcet Nife = Docter Fine
Rolfron Zek = "Forlorn"

Mort & Gage = Bankers in Thurgadin ( Mortgage )
Prince Kyrmt Keroppi = Froglok in Lake Rathe ( 3 in one: Kermit the Frog, Frog Prince, and Hello Kittys friend. )
Eenot = Tiger in Kithicor ( Tony the Tiger i.e. Frosted Flakes )
Reggit = Tiger in Kithicor ( Tigger from Whiny the Pooh )
Jekel Enhied = Merchant in Freeport ( Dr. Jekell and Mr. Hyde )
Charlotte = Spider in Steamfont ( Charlottes Web )
Fharra Cawfeet = NPC ( Farrah Fawcett )
Mees, Gono, Keel, Uuuz = Scarecrows in Plane of Mischief ( Mees gonna kill yous! )
Bait Masterson = NPC in FP ( Bat Masterson )
Lars & Ulrich McMannus = NPC's in WK ( Lars Ulrich of Metallica )
Cubert = Gelatinous Ooze in Qeynos Sewers ( Q-Bert video game )
Wella and Wellford Fargin = Firiona Vie Bankers ( Wells Fargo )
Jars Legola = Elf NPC in Innothule Swamp ( Legolas of LOTR )

There's a difference between "Sweaty Nutz" and "Blahblah". Just because you don't like a name doesn't mean it's childish nonsense.

I have to say LOL a bit here..

Blahblah was a level 1 Necro my girlfriend made to cast Invis to Undead on me in LGuk. It literally existed for like 10 minutes and someone shit their pants enough to add it to this list? By the way this was like.. a month ago.

Wow... I'm stunned.

If names are such a big issue such use a dictionary and block all real words. That's half the problem already solved as Fyre, Bawls, whatever existed in classic EQ. Create a report method for serious violations. Done.

No it is not. When i made up this name back in 99 i was playing Mortal Combat 2, and was fighting Cyrix right at that time. That is where my name originates.

[Aadill]

This thread is really taking away from my roleplaying experience.

[Live4Redline]

^ Indeed! And if you want to get real legit this isn't even a role playing server so its not even that huge of a deal!


You can find something about almost every name... nothing is original anymore and I for one have never and will never pick my name from a random name generator.

I've fought Sony on so many names threw so many games and am GLAD to not have to fight with that now. And just so you know I have never once picked something that was childish or inappropriate. I've seen people get mad about a KS or deal gone wrong and just Google there name looking for something to report them on. So many names mean something in some language, some where.

So if there not copy righted or insulting then leave them alone. There's no need to read into it more then it just being a name. If I want to role play that the name my momma gave me was Squishy Pants because when i was a kid i fell waist deep in a sink hole of mud and had to walk 17 miles home in Squishy Pants... then that should be my right! (My name is not Squishy Pants BTW)

The point is you don't know from just looking at a list of names what people are role playing or there intent... so unless its the obvious "Bin Laden" or *Insert WoW Reference Here* name then just get over it and quit trying to make apples out of oranges.


Honestly its hard to tell whats worse... the guy picking the dumb name or the guy complaining about every name that didn't come out the "Random Name Generator"!

^ And I'm sorry if that hurts someones feelings but name bashing hurts mine! I go to heavy extent to pick my names because I'm the one who has to live with them for all my characters play life!




And just to prove a point:

Siri who started this thread for example is the stock market symbol for "Sirius XM Radio Inc.". So in all reality he is advertising for a Copy Righted Company Name and the stock market symbol that it stands for and I find that offensive and not in the nature of game play. Now his in game name might not be Siri but you get the point. You can find something almost about everything.

[Fahn]

I keep forgetting about how polarized the interwebs are. :/

On one side yes names like Fore Skin as mentioned should probably be changed, but really only the surname as I would have no problem with Fore Score.As for most of the names on that list, while they may not be high fantasy, I really don't see them as a problem. I mean, come on "puppytank?" You really have a problem with that?

Anyway, on one side, save your bile for the names that really are offensive. And the other side, come on, have a little courtesy. EQ forces people together so others can't just avoid you like in other games.

I could careless about most names to be honest. Well - I won't petition them.. they'd have to be REAL bad. And even then, I'm kinda lazy about that, unless it impacts me directly.

But that being said - if your name is developed around the concepts of crap, body functions, ejaculation, or whatever - don't hold your breath waiting for a group invite or buffs.

Yes, indeed - some names, I wouldn't even put my buffs on, lol..

And there's a few others - one I even remember in live; if they get invited - I suddenly need to go~~

I just laughed for a solid couple minutes at this list. Thanks for that.


Seriously though, as long as the name is not offensive, references gender-specific anatomy, curse words, or outright vulgarity, I don't see the problem.

Do people not RP enough for you? Eh, I can kind of understand that, but even "Juvenile" is a terribly subjective ruler to use when someone else really wants to be named "Abad Doggie," as one player on Rodcet was named. I find it hilarious and fun to have names like that.

Hence why my Shaman is named Cold. You'll see what his surname will be within the next few months.

[Xxtayce]

I've run across some pretty offensive names here (ran by a DE corpse named ******dik the other day - no lie) but if someone wants to name their character Fatboy or Uwish, more power to ya.

I've run across some pretty offensive names here (ran by a DE corpse named ******dik the other day - no lie) but if someone wants to name their character Fatboy or Uwish, more power to ya.

Hello, I am Aadill Pickle.

[Hottbiscuits Dreadmuffin]

I'd rather see names like Aadill, Dillusional, Fearstalker, Gradner Wipeswithleaves (LOLOLOL) than:

Aarroweyn
Boromeer
Billboh
Frohdoh
Araahthorn
Arahghorn

You leave my Fatbody Teamfat out of this!~!!!!~~~!!~~!~!~!~

[Susanbanthony]

One time Hobby changed my name from Susanbanthony Ballsmasher to Susanbanthony Globedestroyer. I've hated him forever since.

My name on live was Lilwayne.

[Aadill]

Aadill was from the random name generator. All 7-8 Aadills that people remember across different servers all used this method to come up with their name.

We're all unoriginal.

why do you even care or waste your time with this? are you the eq-name police? you need to do something better with your time then annoying people who don't have any direct impact to your gameplay. get a life.

i hate stupid names in general.

i WILL change your name if it violates the naming policy.

so before coming up with dumb names and or offensive names go read it.

It seems that about half the names I see violate that policy. I personally try to come up with a name that fits in with the lore, but I can't deny appreciating the laughs I've had at some others' names I see, and if the policy isn't going to be enforced for all violations, it probably shouldn't be enforced at all, except for names deemed offensive by the staff.

lol @ pickle getting fingered in this snitchfest. That was dirty.

[Messianic]

The OP on this thread hasn't posted for over a year - hopefully he wasted his time and no one has had their name changed because of this guy (unless it was seriously offensive or racist or something).

[mwatt]

1) There is a stated naming policy.
2) Name restrictions are classic.
3) Some of the names I have seen (e.g. Dickhair, Butthair, Juliaroberts, Ladygaga) I find either unnecessarily offensive or disrespectful of the game, or both.

I may not agree completely with the OP (for instance, I think the naye Pyrocat is just fine) but I think he has somewhat of a point. Given my druthers, I'd see the naming policy enforced with the blatantly bad names. Who decides what is blantantly bad? I'm quite comfortable with the GMs/Devs doing so.

[Harrison]

gtfo babies

[mwatt]

Whoa,

This forum is supposed to be a place to ask questions, exchange ideas and share points of view in a civil manner.

While "gtfo babies" does in fact express a point of view, it is derisive and attempts to disallow those of a certain opinion to share their views. In fact, usage of that expression would seem to indicate a lack of maturity in itself (i.e. somewhat "babyish").

Have you anything to say that uses more than six syllables and provides any actual content for discussion that is relevant to the post?

[Stormhowl]

Reading this thread, all I can see is a large number of people who are:

1) Upset because they were snitched on, or are irrationally bothered by the very acting of snitching,

2) Have no integrity and don't think that an MMORPG built on the concept of immersion should have clearly defined naming policies that are enforced.

It doesn't help, I would imagine, that players would be looked down for utilizing reports or petitions to bring to attention names that violate the server's naming policy. /shrug

Edit: Oh, look. Another thread with more mindless homophobia in server chat thread tags. /rolleyes

Free server or not, there are clearly defined naming policies in place (http://www.project1999.org/forums/showthread.php?t=17488). End of discussion.

^ For what it's worth, I agree that there are several tiers of offensiveness here. Even though I agree that many of the names on the OP's list are guilty of "breaking immersion", I'm not personally one that gets upset about it. But if the OP does get get upset about it, that's his right and his business.

The tier of offensiveness I do object to, and will continue to speak out against, are names like the ones you mentioned. Just yesterday a toon named "Buttnugget" joined my orc2 group. I don't feel like looking at that name for hours or dealing with a person who would choose that name, I don't care how good a player they are. If that makes me uptight, controlling, or whatever label some of you want to apply, so be it. It's like I said in another thread — population is starting to explode on P99 and we're at a crossroads; we can either let the kiddies run rampant with disgusting names or we can set a firm policy now. Some of you act like it's a power-trip because we want to apply standards, and I say baloney.

i dictionary.com'ed that word....nothing came up. Weird.....

I kinda feel sorry for this guy to be honest. How bitter does someone need to be to compile a list of this many names and post it on the forums hoping to get them changed?
Good point lol.

[Loly Taa]

^ I care. Blatantly offensive and/or disgusting names detract from my gaming experience and I will say so. You will not stop me from doing so.

I don't think you understand how much the staff hates being bothered consistently by inane shit. The people with these names aren't causing a problem for them or they'd already have been changed. You on the other hand and just being a twat, the staff here ISN'T to ensure "Your playing experience" is how it was on live. In fact, the devs and staff have repeatedly said that if you don't like the way shit is- you know where the door is.

tl;dr

The staff hates you more than the people with these names because you're being a whiny little bitch expecting them to act like the carebear GMs on live.

I think you overestimate her threshold for caring. I've personally turned a couple people in to her. One was like Alexisgay? Which of course is a horrid name, but if someone wants to be called Bradd Pitt I'm sure they couldn't care less.

The policy is just there so no one can bitch if their name gets changed. It is far from enforced to a T

This is very true. I made a human SK to buy a iksar necro buddy his spells in EFP sewers.. To laugh at him i named it 'ihatelizards' and Amelinda and i were chatting before i had even made it into the sewers from my spawn point.

Most of these are pretty awful. I would like to do some of the people on this list a favor by bringing their crappy names to the GMs attention so that maybe they'll be lucky enough to get a better one.

...just off the top of my head.
There were many, many, references to popular culture, especially anime characters/video games.

There were even guild names like "Legion(s?) of Ducks and Bunnies" and something along the lines of "Pixie Stick Refreshments"

Pretty sure no one cared, and nobody should care.
If your name is a swear word/racial slur, or a name directed at a GM or player in game, Or using a developer/GMs real name, I understand.. Otherwise, it's all good.

I'd rather see creative ingame names instead of people getting "EQ Married" and having celebrations, with official priests, exchanging rings and changing of surnames...
Or using names without vowels, and complete jibberish.
