I am sorry that your intelect or imagination can not grasp my name, go look in the dictionary, maybe you find a new name for the next MMO you are trying =)

and oh, you repeat your self

Uuaellaen- no dictionary results
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Uuaellaen

Want to try again?

[Uaellaen]

of course my name is not out of the dictionary like yours [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] What do i want to try again? I think you missread what i sayd, you are supposed to look for a new name for your self in the dictionary, like you did in the past =)

[SchadenFreude]

I will use small words so you can understand.

HOW

DO

YOU

SAY

YOUR

NAME?

Is it that hard to comprehend the question? I asked for a pronunciation and you replied with a "go look in the dictionary" response, as if the pronunciation key would be found in a dictionary. It wasn't. Your name is nothing more than "random characters", which means it does not follow the naming policy.

The next time you log in with your "Senior Guide" account, don't forget to change the Uuaaaaleaeauauauan toon's name to something that adheres to naming policy.

Have you ever seen the random name generator? His name is perfectly on par.
Just because you are to ignorant to try and sound out a simple name as his doesnt mean its 'random characters'. His name makes far more since to me than yours does.

Guys, I think we found our new eqdruid76, since I dont think he'll be returning after being revealed.

Uuaellaen, how the heck do you PRONOUNCE this atrocity of vowels you consider a "name"? Seriously. Is it two syllables or six? Or something in between?

Im seriously offended by your inability to pick a name the average person could verbalize without assistance.

I always figured it was U-Alien [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Lub you flicka [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

And schadenfreude, just because you are too simple minded to use any part of your imagination to pronounce that name, does not make it my responsibility to explain it to you, or tell you how its pronounced [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

that you still dont get why your name would be against the naming policy, scares me and makes me think you have the IQ of a loaf of bread ...

[Qaedain]

I typically pronounce it in the Tolkien style:
Oo-ayel-line. (Dipthong on the "aye" and "l" sounds in the second syllable).

The point is that name changing is not something that should be done lightly.
Like schadenfeude said (however his name is spelled) you erase the entire history of a toon's character. You have to have put 45 levels into a character and then have a GM pick your name out of a hat to understand how bad that is.

But my problem is not the name changing, my problem is the appearance of favoritism with GMs taking pics with top guilds like "cheeeese" and half of them have names that break the rules. You either spend a day changing the rules for everyone, or else you dont change names at all, you put it on hiatus until you think things through. Thats like removing the global chat only for certain people while others retain the right to use it. Its not that bad, but i think the metaphore is not too far off.

To pick an example from my experience, me and this player Nalatai have this inside jokes of ninja bears. One time i ported and there was a bear in a tree behind Nalatai and i said something like "Ninja bear! behind you!". Ever since that bear when i see Nalatai its "Bear, 3 oclock!" or whatever. Shes not on my friend list and theres tons of people like this where you have this little history and ill never go to the trouble of msging them all like hey.... remember me? My name got changed to blablabla.

Some people will have themselves allowed to have their player's history follow them through 50, and some of them, at random or to the GMs whims will be erased from existence, whenever they feel like it. Thats not how it should go, yes its your server, yes you can do what you want but it doesnt mean allowing this to continue will not piss off a bunch of people. This should be implemented fully or not at all.

I said i would not discuss this matter further, and i went back cause i think people who say "Whatever crybabies, its just a name" dont grasp the problem.

Taxi, do you feel someone who types BigBlackDong into the box that says "Character Name" deserves the right to "have their player's history follow them through 50"?

It's a serious question even if the example might not be.

Do you think a person who types "Taxi" into the box that says "character name" has a right to have their player's history follow them through 50?
