I was triggered by Human Resources implications. And the Save thing. Like I don't need HR to save me xude. They are so terrible at deciding who is right and wrong. It seems like this player is MASQUARADING as something they are not, A GM perhaps.

I just wanted to create a fun thread for players to participate in and bring more awareness to the player base about naming. More like a game of find the worst naming violation egg hunt.

Anyway you all do a fantastic job already and deserve a ton of credit. There's really very few egregious violations that slip through the cracks. P99 is really good at creating a fun and immersive elf environment and the Staff are a very big part of that.

The best I hope and pray for is that a few people think twice about how they will feel with a really divisive or anatomically provocative name and how other players will feel. Being considerate, thoughtful, and caring are very important values of mine.

Thank you!

It's not about being offensive, its a naming convention that you agree to follow when you click that little button to play. You people overreact too much. I"m sure you speed, pass stopped school buses and lick the deli meat.

Hurrl is appropriate for a troll or ogre, maybe even a dworf, but Barbie(TM)(c)(inc) is not appropriate for an elf.

It could easily become a fairly automated task, if say each report vs a player was OCR scanned and queued into a file, once a player had say, 15 reports pending, and then a botted GM could log on and macro out the commands to randomly change their names to something fantasy appropriate. With a short PM sent to their login accounts email address. This seems like a fun project, maybe, IMO.

The only name I ever saw that I actively disliked was the Druid “Hatecrimes” on Blue

[magnetaress]

After studying the problem intently the last few days I have discovered the one thing that is most apparent and obvious from a concrete and empirical perspective.

People with sassy names are usually: Really angry people, communists, the first to start and get on a /list, a member of an 'elite guild', didn't put all their starting points in charisma, believe Hollywood is a real place and not a druids name. And need to seek lots of help.

My recommendation for these people to heal, is to try red99, it is very accepting of oddly named characters like 'dickbutt'.

Lol -- this is a pathetic thread and pathetic OP. Personally -- had my surname taken. (One I've had for nearly a decade on Blue). Meanwhile name after name exists that can be considered a rule violation and it will continue.
Hell -- even the GM names are breaking naming conventions. (See Galach)

Why waste time on this? How does this improve the server? Classic EQ was not "roleplaying" to this degree, ever. Just incredibly pointless.

No there isn't. The naming policy is used as a weapon by disaffected whoevers to punish people they have a beef with. Like if some guy was really aggressive about wanting your camp and the next day a GM shows up to change your name, that's why.

You can have a GM standing in the middle of Yousuxxors and Ihavebeef and whatever and they won't do anything at all. But if they get a petition from someone who hates you, they're right on it.

Why petition non offensive names at all? Why should we petition some and then allow others (Let's say : Seaglass) continue to exist? It's just a pretty absurd concept that does nothing but deter people from enjoying the hard work and effort that have gone into the recreation of this game. I don't see how that better serves this community in any possible way?

Fix the raid scene, the camping of items scene, the RMT scene, etc. Just truly such a waste of time/energy and if you REALLY wanted to fix the problem, prevent all these 'naughty names' up front prior to character creation and at surname generation.

I understand them very clearly --- and understand that if truly they were accurately enforced in the way that is described, then this game would be a sterile wasteland of boring pet like names. But see, the way it's enforced now, it's just used as a weapon by other players.

Seaglass easily breaks the below :
- Copyrighted or trademarked names of products, characters, services, or
concepts (e.g. Bigmac, Marlboro, Sony).

I've never heard of a brand called Seaglass. The concept of sea glass is far more famous than any brand. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_glass

And the naming policy is, in fact, enforced. The staff continue to change a lot of terrible names.

[Jimjam]

It's a mispelling of 'Seagull ass'. Clearly. Contains forbidden word 'Ass' (anatomical reference). Also anagram of 'Sea Slags' (misspelling of slur). Contains title 'Lass'. The phrase 'Seaglass' is not fitting with a high fantasy environment. - if it isn't clear I'm being facetious and don't believe your name is against the spirit of the rule.

My point being, pretty much any name can be contorted as being against the naming policy with jumps of logic. Hell, it's easy to accidently break.

I remember my surprise when I discovered my own blue warrior's name 'Jimjam' was actually the name of a childrens' television channel in Greece (and I'm sure other nations). No one knows all the Copyrighted or trademarked names of products, characters, services, or concepts; as such it is easy to break this rule accidently, as I appeared to have.

There are so many 'good faith' violations of this rule, it must be difficult to know the line on where to reinforce it.

[Baler]

The purge is coming.

It's not... Llandris is on his way out and the people on their way in don't feel the same.

[Rpruett]

I've never heard of a brand called Seaglass. The concept of sea glass is far more famous than any brand. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_glass

They change terrible names all the time.

Just one example -- http://www.seaglasscarousel.nyc/ -- Popular entertainment attraction in the USA's largest city? Popular enough they decided to register it. https://www3.wipo.int/branddb/en/#

Oh -- so now you're suggesting there's layers to how it's applied? (See subjectivity) You're suggesting a subjective area of 'grey' because you believe your name doesn't violate rules. I don't know your intentions, but I do know the brand is trademarked.

Seems like a pretty crystal clear rule break to me. Otherwise, it's no different than say the name "Playboy" then right?

[Baler]

honestly at this point,.. who cares about names.
It's pretty clear if you look at EC tunnel the naming policy is dot dot dot

[Videri]

Good thing there are more reasonable people enforcing the rules.

[Rpruett]

Good thing there are more reasonable people enforcing the rules.

To be clear -- I'm not advocating for you to lose your name. Quite the opposite.
I believe only offensive names should be removed. IMO -- Beyonce Gnolls would be hilarious and should stay.

But to the previous posters point, this is being used in a weaponized way.
Encounter an issue with a player? A few days later, A GM shows up and removes/changes a portion of your name.

So if it's going to work in that manner -- then let's equally apply these rules.
I lost my name I've had for about a decade on blue meanwhile I walk through the game and see hundreds of rules violations.

[Videri]

Sounds like not enough people are reporting garbage names.

Report them all and let the staff sort them out.

[Geomance22]

to be fair the names we got away with years ago were way worse, there was a huge escalation in enforcement a few years ago and many tears took place

I wonder how P99 stacks up:


Main Character and Highest Level Character

Only a minority (13.3%, N=898) of EQ players have a character of the opposite gender as their main character (character currently used the most). Male players, however, are significantly more likely than female players to have a main character of the opposite gender (%male(731)=15.7, %female(158)=2.5, p<.001).

I just want to say Thank You to the devs for enforcing the naming policy. Everquest is a high fantasy game. Character names should try and be high fantasy as well. If the NPC's in game had names like Obama and dumptruck and joggingpants it would take away from the game. PC names are the same. It does matter.

Things will never be perfect. Some names will fall through the cracks etc. But it IS a step in the right direction.

So Thank You! Devs

And to everyone trying to bully people in this thread for being nerds and losers because you dont get to name your toon Diksukfuk and because we dont agree with you(and YOU are breaking the rules) Shut up. Follow the rules. It isnt hard. This isnt call of duty. Dont name your character something dumb cuz you think its funny and then complain because the name gets changed. That's on you.

Gnomes are technologically advanced enough to have code names, hacker names, and meme names.

I may or may not know someone with the name Broknight on reserve. Not sure if thats legal ;D

My alt was gonna be Yermawm S'notclassic, but I didn't want it to get changed.

Naming the guards after composers probably violated the naming policy back in 99 too.

The fact that anyone would care what someones name is in a 20 year old free game is the saddest thing I have ever read and is a clear representation you are all losing your minds during a very weird time in the world. Go for a walk. Call your friends and family and catch up with them. Weedsmokerfourtwenty in EverQuest is not your problem, your inability to deal with real life is.

look, you're not wrong, but you are also not right... cuz guess what

Of all the things I am thankfully free to do, chuckle about silly elf names and orc mischief is pretty damn good. At least I am not poisoning myself with hatred, drugs, fear about virii, and pop culture.

This is a blessed realm, where only the righteous will prevail, those that hate fantasy, and hate elves, are just broken souls that need to be gathered and renamed unto the new lands, given new life, and a fresh chance to earn a proper name.

I wish the name police had more time to deal with you pathetic anti-creative sadsacks and your crap ideas of what makes a "cool" name. But that's just me, ymmv

I need to know, is this real or fake anger?

My creativity generated "Aeshyra" for Asherah for my IRL rogue TLP name (since someone alredy took it). It is psuedosemetic for 'she who walks on water'.

Since I can't have babies I am kinda happy with this.

Feels good gurl, get it!

Do you mean like 'nonphixion' (non fiction)?

Does 'Twofor' count as a harmless silly name? (I haven't reported either).

The idea of a "fantasy name" is a fairly abstract idea to begin with, so I would think it's difficult to police, unless it's a more straightforward "dickbutt" situation.

Not necessarily anyone in this thread, but it seems some people believe fantasy RP names are only names that are nearly impossible to pronounce and have absolutely no allusion to the characters class or any real world pop culture, while "fantasy" literally means to imagine things that are impossible or improbable.

thats why i advocate for a cyberpunk setting

A good point. People are voicing their various opinions in this thread. However, all of our opinions and feelings are kind of irrelevant because it all comes down to the actual rules of the server, which are written down in one place and haven't changed for years. The naming rules are not based on any one person's idea of what a "fantasy name" is. The rules spell out what is prohibited. You can do whatever you want with your name as long as it follows these rules (https://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17488).

One of the rules is:

Common words and phrases that would not be found in the time, place and setting of EverQuest (e.g. Switchblade, Phaser, Toaster, Cannabis).

Switchblade Toaster is my goto name for cyberpunk settings.
