Bot names ruin immersion more than vulgar names

[Ciderpress]

I wonder what kind of adventures "ggdaintwo" is on today? Let us ponder.

Has anyone heard from "safenukevi" lately?? I hope they're okay.

What a bunch of shit.

[wuanahto]

naming shit sucks
15 years of people using the same names from name generators of all types and sites dried up
and we just want to fucking play the fucking game meanwhile theres a fucking sea of sub level 5s out there hogging shit like Dorine or Nimblefeet

Someone's mad they couldn't name their halfling Nimblefeet.

Ban account sharing is the easy solution

Ciderpress is a weak ass name also bro

Absolutely, but I can't think of any way to do that which wouldn't be a total nightmare for the staff.

I think it's easier to just ban insanely uncreative bot naming conventions. Not that all those bot accounts should be banned, but there could be some kind of staff intervention where they make you rename the toon to like anything else. Bigballs is a better name than ggdaintwo.

Oh come on it's not that bad. What is your wizard named? A number?

I believe Ciderpress is trying to say that we need a fresh server, in classic, so his boredom with the nearly 6 year old server can be washed away. Then he may focus on immersion and the shared journey of the rest of the server while hating on their naming conventions!

I would absolutely love a fresh server, but I'm also not gonna ask a bunch of unpaid volunteers to make that happen.

I think castlecothfour agrees!

The EverQuest Name Policy (https://wiki.project1999.com/Kunark_Era_Customer_Service_Guidelines#8.3_The_Eve rQuest_Name_Policy)

Names containing titles within them, such as, but not limited to: The, Lord, Lady, Master, King, Knight, Sir, Father (e.g. Sirtallon, Lordeagle, Mothermaggy).

Sirken was fine though, wasn't it?

And lets not talk about ` abuse like Da`Basher etc, you want it pal we'll add it.

Imho ggdaintwo is against classic name policy as you can’t name characters after in game NPCs

Sirken was a P99 GM. Those name rules were the [I]classic EverQuest name rules ... which is to say that they have nothing to do with this (classic recreation) server.

Fix the wiki lorabro

They're still drawn from here. Staff have been changing names since forever. Week 1 green server it even happened to someone in my group while we were mid-combat (I think it was something loosely political).

I never interpreted 'Sirken' as 'Sir Ken'. Did you?

I did before I heard it vocally on stream /shrug

It is clearly a corruption of ‘Shirking’(!)

[Duik]

I see Ciderpress as a dwarven/halfling drunken rogue that constantly interrupts the grpup adventures by needing to go to the town still. Perfect name.

Do not wreck this for me.

[Duik]

I know there is an in dungeon forge but is there a still as well?

[Ciderpress]

Oh I also hate names where there are too many vowels or consonants in a row. Like "Graavvee" and shit. At least have it be in actual english.

[Duik]

Graavee would be a Shodowknight Chef surely.

[Swish]

What about low effort themed names like...

Rezplz
Stabatha
Portsfor
Tinywiz
Toptunes

Oh I hate those too. Now, I don't want them to be banned, to be clear. People put a lot of hours into their horribly named toons, I just want to encourage a culture of better names.

1) have it be relatively easy to type
2) don't remind me that it's obviously a bot
3) don't remind me about real life which I'm obviously trying to avoid

I think these are reasonable requests and I'm happy to submit them to the record

Just use the rando name generator. Gazuggbuk is probably not taken. Was able to make multiple chars immediately with it on blue.

The EverQuest Name Policy (https://wiki.project1999.com/Kunark_Era_Customer_Service_Guidelines#8.3_The_Eve rQuest_Name_Policy)

Names that contain sentences, phrases, or more than two words. (Ikillorcs, Ontop, and Petcarbob, Diediedie) Descriptive compound words are allowed, especially in surnames (e.g. Treehugger, Giantslayer)

If they enforced this 90% of the server would be up for a name change.

I don't think they were strict at all in OG EverQuest. I was that annoying kid who petitioned once a week to get new surname, and I remember the GMs laughing at some the ridiculous ones I chose (Thunder`Snake). Was on a Human Monk too. Someone told me on P99 only elves are allowed to use `, but I can confirm we 100% used ` as humans.

Another surname I used on almost all of my characters towards the end was simply "X." For whatever reason this isn't allowed on P99 even though it was 100% allowed on OG EQ.

I was in a hurry to play with friends once and couldn't get a name past the check, so I finally just ended it with 'boom'. I still feel dirty.

[Foxplay]

What are your feelings on people with a set naming pattern.....

[Eagish]

I think it makes a player easily recognized across their toons, but might violate the naming conventions a bit depending on how it's done ;-

[Ciderpress]

That's fine!

Just don't be named Imgonnakillvoxnineteen
