Project 1999 Naming Policy

https://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17488


Why is this not actively enforced?
The server is flooded with players who's names violate the Naming Policy.

Some of these players are level 50+ all the way to level 60's. Are you telling me the staff didn't notice this violation in all the time it took these players to reach level 60?
I have seen on sirken's stream where he communicates and see's names that violate the naming policy and does nothing to fix it. (whether that is his area or not the names should be properly reported) My point with mentioning this is that it seems like staff are ignoring the Naming Policy unless the name is truely vulgar. Problem with that is the Naming Policy explicitly states what is not acceptable and it reaches much further then only vulgarity.

I have tried petitioning on the forums & in game. Neither has been proactive.
Please don't sweep this under the carpet.

I take it you don't like grouping with Weehdmastehr Blazingit and his friend Thedotfather?

[Yoink1986]

Why not play the game and worry bout urself?

[myriverse]

Are you reporting every name violation you see?

[Lhancelot]

I have not noticed a vast number of "offensive" names on P99. In fact, I cannot recall one name at this time that I found offensive. I am sure some exist, but by your post I would think there was an epidemic of awful offensive names and I don't think this is the case. I was on SWTOR, and seen WAY more offensive names there than I have seen here.

[Expediency]

The "classic" naming policy was too rigid anyway. Stop snitchin

[elwing]

most offensive or ridiculous name are EC mule's name... haven't seen lots of ridiculous names anywhere else...

[Nuggie]

I think I've reported 2 names before. They were vulgar. Lots of other names I see are just straight lack of imagination, I shake my head and move on with the rest of my life.

Greetings Travelers! Why doth this not verily enforced?
thine relm is flooded with adventurers doth's names violate thine Naming customs.

shillings worth of these travelers are fully trained, some have even mastered the powers of dragons. Are you telling me the gods didn't notice this transgression in all the moons it took these stout adventurers to reach the golden spires of shining light?
I have seen on sirken's magical pool where he communicates and see's names that are blaspheme to the commandments written by the claws of veeshan and verily, thine king does nothing to condemn these wary souls. (whether that is his area or not the monikers should be properly smote upon by our protectors) My visage uppon which I speek is that it seems like the angels of fire that were sworn to protect us are ignoring the words of veeshan herself, unless the name is truely vulgar to a halflings ears. Problem with that is the word of veeshan explicitly states what the scaled god of the skies above and world below is not acceptable to her kind and balance heart and it reaches much further into our soul then only the wroth vulgarity of a common innothulue troll.

I have wept to the sky begging and writing uppon parchment. Neither has given me the starlight which I seek.
Please, gods and kings, don't sweep this under the carpet as you once did the crushbone war of faydark.

I'm all for banning these people for ruining my immersion

My thoughts exactly. Who gives a shit? If the devs themselves obviously don't care,why are you all riding up White Knight style waving the rule book around? This is either some top notch trolling, or you have way too much free time on your hands.

I see your words but they're making zero sense.


So you're saying that because I think it's ridiculous that this guy is waving a rule book towards the creators of the server, and how he's an epic troll or a dude with too much time on his hands, that I have the mindset of wanting to kill a bunch of black people?

Not following your logic even when I try to think outside the box. Was it the white Knight bit? Seriously trying to understand what you're implying.

[skarlorn]

maybe you need to slow down and take a breath, young man.

It's up to US (the community) to preserve the integrity of p99. It takes about 5 seconds for me to petition someone's uncouth, immersion destroying name.

And really, no one playing p99 and posting on forums here should ever try and burn another person for "having too much time on his hands." what is that anyway... an insult? go to RNF where we can have at thee.

oh and for your answer...

"My thoughts exactly. Who gives a shit [if black people are being lynched]? If the [County Sherrifs] themselves obviously don't care,why are you all riding up [black panther style] waving the [civil liberties] book around?"

i hope this helps makes things more understandable for you :o

Haha wow man. Wow. I think you made my point for me. That's quite a reach in your comparisons. The difference is that the creators of this game MADE the rules. They can choose to enforce them or not,that's their decision. Not ours. Civil liberties and the lynching of black people really has absolutely no similarities to my comment or that line of thinking. If the KKK created the world and the rules/laws, then you might have a point. But they didn't. That's why your attempt to compare me to the KKK makes zero sense. It's actually easier for me to compare OP to the KKK since he's bothered by what SOMEONE ELSE is doing that isn't causing him any harm and wants to ENFORCE the rule book upon them and is angry that people are not forcing people to play by his vision.



As for me saying he has too much time on his hands, that's a reference to someone who wants to argue rule enforcement with the people who created the rules in the first place. Yeah, if that's a priority to you I think your life must be super boring or you have alot of free time to stir the pot on the most moot of points.

Names that are violating the Naming Policy are flooding this server!
I would also like to remind people to please be civil. This thread is not a rant and flame. I truly care about the health of the server and feel that these names hinder peoples playing experience.

[Silvurwolf]

wow I can't believe gms haven't gone out of their way to accommodate this pressing issue, I mean my god that list of names just calls for action!

In all seriousness there is an infinite possibility of names that can be recognizable or at the very least attributable to some concept and you want gms to rename every one? For every one changed another can be made up. It's too much work and the problem will never be solved. What you propose just isn't realistic and that is why only offensive names get changed..

[Videri]

Immersion is important. It's part of the reason some of us play this game. Don't say "Just shut up and play the game." The only way to experience Everquest with immersive, genre-appropriate names is if everyone's name is genre-appropriate.

If the naming policy were regularly enforced and people knew they would probably be forced to choose a new name by a GM/Guide, players would create fewer names that violate the policy.

[kgallowaypa]

Just ban verbs and nouns in the character creation, should be a simple resolution

And hows that reporting worked out for you since i know that one of those people you reported still has the name? Find something useful to actually bitch about geez.

[Videri]

Turning off names like the explorer Curunol, not a bad idea. But it's not a stupid issue. Maybe you mean there are more important issues, like fixing bugs or making the Blue-side raid scene work better or adjusting Red's rule set. I think I agree. But player character names are part of creating the vivid, magical experience that inspired the very nostalgia this server is meant to satisfy.

I'm convinced this is a sophisticated trolling attempt; because out of that whole list you posted there are maybe 3 names at most that I would change if I was a GM for violating trademarks. Those situations could be fixed in most cases by eliminating the last name. I'm not going to point these out though because I'm not a name snitch.

Much of what you listed does not violate the policy at all. Greenloaf? Ccooke? Trivia? Whispershadow? Those would have all been legit even on live servers with a GM looking on. You probably have petitioned so many that they dont even look at your petitions anymore, trusting that someone saner will petition when a player actually does violate the policy by naming themselves "fuckface" or something like that.

Funny thing here is that while playing on p99 you do occasionally run into low level characters with offensive names including profanity or slurs, yet you have not petitioned even one of those? Those get deleted or changed quickly because they're actual violations.

[Baler]

I didn't want to post this but some people have forced my hand.

I understand that some of you are breaking the rules by using names that violate the naming policy and you can enjoy the game. Please understand that your indiscretions have ruined my and other's experience and immersion on this server. This is no troll. By your actions of choosing a name that violate the naming policy I feel less compelled to experience all that p99 has to offer. As do many others who would like a true experience rather then a cheapened one.

This thread is no troll. I desire is policy to be enforced and many of you who oppose me are currently publicly breaking this server policy.

I understand the staff have a lot on their plate but I plead that they enforce this policy as though it was any other!

Please explain how the examples I gave break server naming policy. If you're willing to petition them you should be willing to give your reasoning.

If you let something that small ruin your experience on this server, you're too easily offended. This may not be a troll but its squeeky wheel syndrome and if the devs cater to something like this they embarq on a slippery slope of endless to do lists that will ruin the experience for everyone.

[snead]

you do realize that in real life people have odd nicknames they go by instead of their real names? honestly, it's immersion at it's finest being able to use the 'handle' you actually identify as. how do you think the last name 'Smith' came about? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith_(surname

to limit one's elf sim names is a truly the real crime.

By this post you can know that people who abuse this server policy should be reprimanded.

Anyone who speaks out against this Server wide policy should also be reprimanded.
It is the same on level as staff bashing.

[kgallowaypa]

Damn we've been shutdown, Baler witch project initiated

[fan D]

I know what OP is referring too, as each year goes by the MMO world has less and less fantasy names. More people are just naming themselves after pop culture references or some weed reference, its horrible.

[skarlorn]

I support Baler and encourage everyone to snitch on names breaking our RP world setting

[korilla]

how do some people get 'special' surnames. and by special i mean: Necro mancer, Misaligned______, to name a few.

[kgallowaypa]

how do some people get 'special' surnames. and by special i mean: Necro mancer, Misaligned______, to name a few.

Once you hit lvl 20 you can type /surname 'desired name' no special characters or spaces though. Special ones are requested by petition through a GM like Sly'bath. GM events also grant you extended surnames like 'Player name' The warlord <The mystical Order>

[paulgiamatti]

I believe he's talking about Soandso the [Heretic/Defiler/Warlock], Soandso the Wanderer, Soandso the Champion of Suchandsuch, etc.

Those are given for participation in GM events such as the Best of the Best tourneys. First place winners of the BotB gain the level 60 title for their class: the druid winner is titled, "Soandso the Hierophant", the runner up "Soandso the Preserver", third place "Soandso the Wanderer", etc.

Not sure about the other GM event titles.

No, not talking about titles. I'm referring to characters who get special privileges to their surnames from GM's.

There is literally a character named "Necro mancer" (e.g. his surname is not capitalized, hence it kind of looks like one word.)

There is also a character called "Misaligned" (e.g. his surname has a whole bunch of spaces, so his name isn't centered).

There are a few more which I forgot.

[paulgiamatti]

Ah, that's just people finding a way to glitch the naming system, such as inputting a weird ascii symbol that can't be displayed in the nameplate which registers as a space instead. Hence the second word being lowercase - the nameplate thinks it's still one string of letters. Although, GMs will usually capitalize certain letters in your surname for you, but they won't add spaces or any special symbols like that. I'm sure if you ask a GM to give you a capitalized letter in your surname after glitching out the nameplate, they'd get rid of the blank ascii symbol you inputted first.

I just don't like stupid names or names that are sentences. In principle I do not see anything wrong with ordinary nouns or compound words as names.

We can't all have the creative genius to spit out meaningless fantasy names like

Gariandelstranna
Kierentharia
Bestlevyetti
Qhorcinnisucari
Qeresyndle
Alanalaxrohl
Schexyvyette
Hamanaksuhaa
Ylrdisqhet

Nor can we all count ourselves so creatively destitute that we rely on the random name generator. Accordingly, I applaud names like

Powerangel
Swiftfists
Lithebanshee
Sirenscry
Wanderlust
Underbust
Ironhide

And so on ^^

[skarlorn]

Nothing wrong with two nouns tied together as long as it FEELS immersive

Erudite paladin named Thinshield

Dwarf warrior named AXEBEARD

Yah at this point Baler is now a known troll. Only one way to kill a troll is to make a shit ton of crazy names and make it's head explode.

[skarlorn]

Sometimes you have to stomach your disgust and band with your enemy against a common threat.

This threat for me is the plague of naming convention violators.

I only hope that when Baler and I watch the fires of our crusade low to ember, I will have the opportunity to slit his pathetic throat and leave him gurgling in a pile of blood and feces (his in game toon of course ;) )

baler would be cool but he's always short of bein a true baller

sorry you suck dude

[thufir]

it's not enforced because the server is staffed with volunteers who have better things to do than trying to keep someone down who is determined to name themselves some variant of "Dankest Bongrips" or whatever.

not a huge fan of it either but in the end it's small potatoes. it isn't something I'd pay money to fix, so that's that.

SIRKen himself breaks the naming rules, that's why its not enforced.

today i hopped off the boat in BBM. the sea air salted my beard.

My character when I played back in 1999-2001 was called Ravenprince Levantine. Apparently some jackass reported my name after 51 levels and I was renamed to Ravenpride. Name police get a life, who cares, my name was not even that bad.

You see if you can actually have a legit reason for the name. I have ZERO problem

It's the people who abuse YOUR privilege. You should be just as outraged as I am. I'm not a name narc, nor the name police. I simply want a basic rule to be enforced that is blatantly being ignored and ABUSED by the player-base.

Can we get some name-and-shames going here? Without examples of ingame names that break the policy, I am a bit lost here. Need some examples of the naming policy being broken to validate this thread, imo.

I just don't like stupid names or names that are sentences. In principle I do not see anything wrong with ordinary nouns or compound words as names.

We can't all have the creative genius to spit out meaningless fantasy names like

Gariandelstranna
Kierentharia
Bestlevyetti
Qhorcinnisucari
Qeresyndle
Alanalaxrohl
Schexyvyette
Hamanaksuhaa
Ylrdisqhet

Nor can we all count ourselves so creatively destitute that we rely on the random name generator. Accordingly, I applaud names like

Powerangel
Swiftfists
Lithebanshee
Sirenscry
Wanderlust
Underbust
Ironhide

And so on ^^

How the fuck did i not make this list?

Idgaf about names ruinung immersion and stuff, but the horrible and cliche monk names need to stop. If youre a monk and have some variation of the word "fist" in your name, you need to be shamed and ridiculed for a complete lack of originality and creativity.

So what I gathered from this thread is that if you whine and complain and snitch long enough, someone will eventually listen.

I honestly thought most of this thread was just a troll thread. Seriously, I doubt that people really get that bothered by "offensive" names, unless they are racially insensitive or have some other RL negative connotation. i mean sure, "Scratchybutt Itchyhole" or whatever is stupid and juvenile, but I don't think I'd waste my time petitioning his name.

I remember on live a guy had the name "Irishcarbomb" or something like that, and for some reason I found that name unimaginative and offensive. I still don't think I petitoned it though.

[Jontheripper]

I named my mage Assinvader and you wouldnt believe the vile things these nerds said to me.

"Wtf that names inappropriate kill yourself you inbred retard" was my favorite.

So i tell the dude. "Its short for assassin dark vader, and you're just as bad, your name should be spelled archimedes, not archimedies"

He then flipped the fuck out in the best way possible, should have saved it.

Ive only received compliments on my druid's name...although not ready to share it just yet..although ive come to find that Baler seems to be an EU player so if you in the US and east coast your good to go..and not in EC tunnel lol.

Unless names are highly explicit, reporting them simply makes you selfish and full of envy and schadenfreude. I assure you that having someone else's name changed will be more damaging to that person's immersion than to yours for seeing it. Nothing to be proud of, really.

eh, it's just two words put together. However if the player could justify the name based on their character, perhaps in a roleplay aspect. I wouldn't mind in the slightest. Otherwise it just seems like uncreative laziness smushing two words together. Let's be real most of these people aren't roleplaying.

It's a fine line between a name being descriptive of the race/class and someone being lazy. So sure, Rumgut could be acceptable.

I get not everyone has to have the most fantasy world name. People in real life have nicknames too.
So I may mistakenly lump a name into the bunch, thanks for calling me out on that one Maskedmelon.

That is in fact correct. Technically Baler is a violation of the Naming Policy! :eek:
Well done Adcid!

Not only that but it's a miss-spelling of a character from another video game.
http://mythipedia.wikia.com/wiki/Balor

Balor is the final, and most powerful, incarantion of the Leveler that is seen in the current age of Myth: The Fallen Lords. He is in command of the Fallen Lords, six sorcerers general of terrible power, who are trying to destroy the world with an army of undead, trow giants and terrible beasts.

I've been using the nickname Baler for over 18 years now. Though a few imposters pop up randomly every so often.
Fun fact there was a gnome mage on live back in the day named Baler. Wasn't me. you can find posts by him on alakazam.

[Twochain]

Wasn't there a post like a year ago saying the 1,000,000th Blue character was created?

What do you expect?

Sure, if the server never saw more than 200 concurrent users, it would probably be a lot easier to enforce...

But at this point your just being a dick.

[Baler]

I will post 10 more names tomorrow. I have over 30 names not listed yet. Mon-Fri 10 names that are in violation will be posted.
My list has surpassed 250 names so far.

Takes a person ~10 minutes to make a character lets say. Takes them a month+ to level 60.

Come on people show a little effort and think of a creative name. Don't just slap two words together or misspell a word. One mistake and everyone else has to suffer because you're lazy.

Edit: I'm also very surprised by how many people this thread has upset. Probably offenders of the policy.

But at this point you're just being a dick.

The names in the lists I post are not targeted towards any specific race, class, guild or player group. It's 100% as I see the names I add them to the list. I also do a /who in east commons and if I don't find many I'll do a /w all 60, /w all 59, etc. I also don't only pick names at certain times of the day. When I look for names is totally random.

[Jontheripper]

This thread belongs in RnF.

It is obviously a rant.

[AxerJ]

I agree with the original intention of this thread. Devs probably dont enforce the policy because P99 isnt really just a game anymore - it's kind of become a social space for people who were into EQ to be able to interact. So the casual, comedy names, if they arent obscene, are allowed to let people just hang out casually. Itd definitely be more of a magical fantasy immersive game if the name policy was enforced, but I dont think that's what P1999 is now - and that's not surprising considering how old this experience is and how familiar most everyone who plays it already is with it.
That probably prevents the GMs from really enforcing the policy. But I agree that the policy should be MORE enforced - probably not how it shouldve been in 1999, but at least to get rid of the names that really kind of hurt to look at.

I care about Project 1999 and want to see it continue successfully into the future. I feel the Naming Policy is a key part of that success. Just because you don't mind seeing or grouping with someone who's name violates the naming policy doesn't mean that it is not a total turn off for other players.

Definitely agree - if the GMs keep letting most of the lame names slide, the atmosphere will definitely not be as inviting for new players. It'll more likely cause players who are more into that kind of humor/whatever to stick around. That could be OK, but itd be a bit of a different environment from classic EQ. But that's to be expected somewhat. Just wait for Pantheon, Baler =] What youre saying here is not weird at all.

Edit: Also, we should always keep in mind the GMs are volunteers and this whole project is for free, so they can't do everything. Remembering the reality of this project is good to understand where a bunch of other peoples' negativity stems from. We should probably thank the GMs and devs more, actually.

It'll more likely cause players who are more into that kind of humor/whatever to stick around. That could be OK, but itd be a bit of a different environment from classic EQ. But that's to be expected somewhat. Just wait for Pantheon, Baler =] What youre saying here is not weird at all.

Disagree. I was fully immersed in Lineage II, and had plenty of fun killing farmers and people (there's a difference) like Happynono, Blackboss, Rob1nhood, G4briel, DarkDD, and Littlecat.

I think given Baler's success in getting one out of the..what 172 names hes posted in this thread, renamed? /thread will soon surpass BDA to phinny in views and post count by January of Next year.

Edit: Also, we should always keep in mind the GMs are volunteers and this whole project is for free, so they can't do everything. Remembering the reality of this project is good to understand where a bunch of other peoples' negativity stems from. We should probably thank the GMs and devs more, actually.

I am really starting to wonder how many of you actually played Classic EQ... my best friend that got me started in this game was a Human Cleric named Talking Shit on the Cazic Thule server. He was created on the day of launch and he held that name all the way through Planes of Power at which point we both quit playing. Never got reported, never got renamed. We even had several titles added to our names over the years, so it isn't as if a GM never noticed. One of our guild's top Paladins was named Sir Tingling Ballz the Champion of Norrath. In fact, there were far more dipshit names in our guild than lore-friendly names. Not one immersion was harmed in the raiding of our guild. Tunare be praised!

I don't know why anyone is convinced that this is somehow endemic to a newer generation of gamers or the ever decreasing maturity of the MMO scene... this has been a thing since things could even be things. I bet the first cave paintings that we think are some testimonial to the wilderness or some other mystical BS is really just one caveman dubbing himself Sir Butts McFace the Third and he wanted it recorded for posterity sake. Have we really become the curmudgeonly old men of gaming, sitting in our 8-bit yards yelling at the kids to turn down their graphics?

[Jimjam]

whats wrong with Farsight?

Double word names throw him into a rage it seems.

I'm not sure...
"Descriptive compound words are allowed in first names and are encouraged in surnames (e.g. Treehugger, Giantslayer)."

... Maybe Farsight is a name from another intellectual property?

[myriverse]

I care about Project 1999 and want to see it continue successfully into the future.
You realize that many of the names you object to were cool during classic Live. Right?

'Bra' is a Hawaiian slang title, roughly equivalent to 'Sir'. You and Sirken better keep an eye on each other ;).

I think I've reported 2 names before. They were vulgar. Lots of other names I see are just straight lack of imagination, I shake my head and move on with the rest of my life.

I find the name Muhammad offensive fucker murdered thousands of innocents yet it's the most popular name in the world...

Something's not right bro...

Baler, this is a great troll post.

By adding names continuously, you have found the perfect recipe to keep people rustled, because eventually nearly every player on the server will find one of their alt's names on your lists!

I have to say though, when you place names on the list like "Crunchberry", or "Legday" you are stretching. These names with two separate words in them are not violating any policy whatsoever.

But, you know that. :p

Common words and phrases that would not be found in the time, place and setting of EverQuest (e.g. Switchblade, Phaser, Toaster, Cannabis).
Proper names from EverQuest (e.g. Rathe, Karana). This also includes the first or last name of any significant EverQuest NPC (e.g. Dorn, Trumpy, Karn).

I think you started to stutter there at the end, Jon... lol

To me... I believe that if it's not offensive or blatantly idiotic, it's passable. But I also believe there are countless creative names to be made that fit in a fantasy setting such as P1999. But what do I know?

[vincenzo]

Bran Muffin is legit an amazing name. Respect.

OK this is my last post in this thread... I swear!

Yes, Bran Muffin is a legit name. It is definitely regular.

How do we go about reporting bad player names?

[Thulack]

I would like to report Baler for using a name of farm equipment in Everquest. He is killing my Immersion.

[A1rh3ad]

Seriously guy? I'm all for immersion but names in an RPG can sometimes be unorthodox and still work. All you need to do is think of them as player's nicknames. In the end the nameplate above your head is what people call you. It does not need to be your birth name. Some names listed are pushing the limit but most are just innocent aliases. And PS. As a DM on a RP D&D night I would accept "Bran Muffin" as a viable alias.

[Kaosfury]

Lol on blue.....orc lift.

Dead corpse named "Skankipuss"

Naw its ok.. im sure his / her toon rps a constant yeast infection

Baler is this an acceptable name? I'd hate to ruin someone's immersion.

You da real mvp

[NachtMystium]

People like Baler are seriously, 100% complete aspies irl and just need to play single player games. Please stay away frome me.

Also, people could interpret your name as "baller" aka a slang term used irl, you need to change it now because it interferes with my immersion.

How the hell do you interpret fumbledip as a bad name, sounds like a perfectly fine gnome name to me.

I am reading it as Fumble-dip, reading it as fumbled-IP is the only way i could see it being immersion breaking. In which case you are going out of your way to break your own immersion and for that you should be ashamed.

Cmon, guys, he's just trolling. It's epic for sure, grade a+ premium, but it's gone on long enough. Besides, I feel irritated he hasn't mentioned my name, TWO KNOWN ENGLISH WORDS stuck together, each of which could be used in scrabble at any moment. Although it's pronounced fah-det-ree.

You don't get to decide how your name is pronounced.

Well, yes it should go without saying, though I've seen people read it as Musket-Milan, Ma's-Cat-Mail-On, Mass-Keyed-Me-Loan, My-Skeet-Mail-Own, Mazgd-Mellun and so on. I can tell by the way they type it that they are pronouncing it incorrectly.

Wtf is wrong with Rich? That's just a regular name....

[Xaanka]

every single one of my characters violates the naming policy and some of them are outright vulgar, my first main's name is a euphemism for an erect penis. if your name is funny and you aren't completely autistic the staff are a lot more flexible. for the most part they are human beings who will make your life easier if you aren't a pain in the ass for them to deal with, no one likes doing CSR here and all the staff gets driven off because everyone here flips out when they get reported for anything. be chill and u can usually keep your name. i got to keep all mine the entire time i played & i was reported a lot. hope this helps.

[Lhancelot]

I feel like contributing to this thread. I have had a change of heart.

I too, feel my immersion is being destroyed piece by piece, brick by brick every time I see some awful, unimaginative name in our sacred home called Norrath!

Let's make Norrath great again, and root out the names that are defiling P99.

Instead of pretending to care, and creating dialogue, we should all contribute to Norrathian society and manifest our own lists, just as Baler has started.

Let's all take a figurative knee, and join figurative hands with Baler on this. Let's start creating lists with him.
