Are we only allowed to create LOTR-sounding names with 15 vowels in them? Is that really what the naming policy is all about? Do we really have to do a /who list in East Commons and identify the 90 percent of names which would not fit your perfect definition of an acceptable name?

Let's try to make P99 into what EQ should have become by fixing the things that the initial release got wrong. We don't need to go around with the name-hammer just because "Thats what guides did in Classic EQ".

I definitely agree with that. Look, my name is Taxi Driver. Maybe ill get repercussions for lifting my head like that but i think if youre going to have a policy, you cant mix and match like that so bad. I mean come on, half the names i see everywhere have a meaning to it. And i dont see whats bad with that, it makes reading name fun. Would you prefer reading the name "Morning Wood" for a wood elf or "Legolus Rivendall". Ok, i dont mean to try to push for sexual innuendos, but you know what i mean.

You cant argue with the fact that theres load of people in the game right now with a name that means something, its a rock solid argument. You cant just go around renaming people at random, or else whines of favoritism will surface and for good reason. Why me and why not him? Its rock solid.

They should either rename everyone thats in EC, for a week straight and then rename every single toon they see after that with a name that means something or you scrap the policy that names cant mean something. My vote is on number 2.
