I know there isn't a name filter when making a character and gm's dont do anything when seeing almost any name characters have. but if we want this to be classic (and a little more civilized) if there were some standards on what your character name could be.
I mean who wants to group with "ipoopalot" or "Twink" or any # of names that would never have passed on a live server.
I'm ranting alittle but would like to know what others think about this.

honestly i wouldn't mind it if something like that was implemented. but only if it would make the volunteer gm's job easier by not having to correct names as frequently.

the gm's/devs are giving their time to improve on this already awesome achievement (imo) and i'd rather they either get some time to play themselves or if they were to work on the game, fix something in-game that is a benefit to all.

because a name is just a name in the end, players actions define them far more than a name ever will.

on a side note, may whoever petitioned my troll warr Klobberin Dapridybirdy and got my surname removed back in the day (pre luclin) may burn in hell [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

an offensive name, petition it and dont give it another thought. a name that is simply funny... just pull the stick out already [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If this was a specified RP server, RP names would be one thing. But it's not.

While EQ is an MMORPG, we all know that almost no one roleplayed on a non-roleplay server.

So, I say get over it, either /ignore the person if it bothers you that much, refuse to group with them, or whatever else you feel you need to do to enjoy your game.

Here is an idea. Form a Roleplaying guild and have a strict admittance policy on naming [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Play with these people almost exclusively. Mock the people with non-RP names in guildchat, or group chat, as you and yours have fun in EQ your way.
