Since I see my character's name on the list.. "Fearstalker", I wanted to point out something. I have a character named "Fearstalker" on two live servers (one enchanter and one monk). It passed the name checks and I have interacted directly with GM's and Guides on the live servers with these characters without issue. I also have a character "Deathstalker" (here as my Shadow Knight) and other variants of the two names on Live.
The main thing about the name filter / corrective action from GM's, is to address stuff like non-fantasy phrases, offensive names, titles, product names, etc. I was a guide for a couple of years on live and I know what name types were considered unacceptable. We tried to be fair and flexible but some names were clearly unacceptable. I was surprised at the names which I saw here and assumed that there wasn't a name policy. It was not until about a week ago that I learned that there is a name policy which is in effect and enforced. Remember also that a name change hurts the person playing the game too (especially if playing the character for a long time and has built a reputation and list of friends) so I think that in such cases, unless the name is in clear need of a change, that it should be left as is. If I recall correctly, if a character was past 20, the name would need to be clearly in need of a change, lower than that and the GM was much more willing to change it. (Guides couldn't change names, just note it and escalate to the server GM / include in our shift notes)
