Pretty petty changes if you ask me. Obviously we can read there is a policy that some names didn't go along with, but when you wait 6 + years to finally change them it comes across as pretty sad. A lot of long term players had 6,7,8 year names removed. Don't think it's respectful to wait that long, change a bunch of names, and leave the other violating names up for the next time you want to /flex

I just remind myself it's not our world we are visitors here, nothing more and try to remind myself of all the good things etc. that we get for free. It's a lot.

That being said, I empathize with those affected by the name changes especially ones that are established and been here literally for years.

The guides owe no explanation, but even when knowing that it doesn't make it easier for those who had names they cared about to see their names stripped off their characters instantaneously.

People form attachments to their toons, and I am just surprised by the manner in which the policy was suddenly enforced with no kind of warning whatsoever. An early heads up before doing it would have been nice, just so people could be able to mentally prepare and process it.

I feel for you guys that are upset by this. It's not the end of the world however and you can still enjoy p99, you will just have to bond with a new name and identity on your toon.

If that's not possible make an alt, and if that's not possible well you will probably leave which would suck but I get that too.
