Cool. I bet the random name generator will get some use now that basically everything is against the rules.

This.
On the bright side, this has the potential to be the "Final Straw" to allow a lot of people to be done for good and get on with their lives.
I'd much rather see the sale of accounts in EC banned instead of this drastic step be taken. This step would eliminate a lot of creativity and good clean fun. Most of the joy of naming your toons is making other people laugh anyways, not seeing 8 million Treehuggers and Gnomeslayers surnames running around, which, oddly enough, is what the naming nazis are going to force people into.
I'm 100% behind GMs not being saddled with having to change first names, but this does seem a bit excessive. I am, however, aware that this decision wasn't made in haste and probably has a lot of solid reasoning behind it.
