Those seem to be names which are involved in the game: Cazic and cold, 2 words often seen in EQ i believe thats the problem, on a live server those names would prob. not be aviable to choose.

So im pretty sure if you would name yourself "Skeleton" or something youd have that problem too

More than likely it has to do with them being short for zones and other things related to /who searches (shad - short for shadowknight), but yeah.. you're spot on. I don't think skeleton would be a problem, but ecommons or drui I'm betting would be.

Can't think of what cold is at the moment, but I'm pretty sure it's something.
