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.
