I heard of very few name changes that weren't a result of a blatantly offensive name, or an in game arguement that resulted in petitions being thrown around.

I created my long time main on Test Server in about 2003; named him Ancient, which was intended to be an allusion to Ancient Pistol, a character in Henry V.

I logged in for the first time, and about 20 minutes later a GM told me my name was not allowed and changed it to Anciente (after some discussion). I'm pretty sure that was not the result of a petition, and I'm pretty sure it was not offensive; it just violated the letter of the naming conventions at the time.

So somewhere, sometime - there were GMs who cared (even though I disagreed with them).

Crazy :( I stand corrected... I guess some where Gm's did care... Not on Nameless when I got the name change... lol :/

I think it was probably fairly arbitrary, and in 90% of the cases I think the name changes were fair.

my 2nd char, druid named Lequox was temporarily given a title "the Nuisance" because i bug reported like everything that was wrong w/ qeynos aquaducts in Nov 1999 (horrid if you can remember)

sadly when i went back to lequox a day later he was stripped of his name :(

This thread has inspired me to remake my female wood elf druid named Nilliililinaea

That is all
