To me, it looks like you were trying to call a bluff, and it didn't work out in your favor.

If you think what im trying to do here is save my name... fine.

It's like when a kid gets in trouble for doing something, you don't like being the only person in trouble for something others have done too... so you start tattling... "Well he did it too! Why isn't he in trouble?"

Actually i was trying to show the absurdity of the situation. What really ticked me off though is the vindictiveness of Cyrius's reaction "Just wait till i see you online =)" and how it could be viewed as power tripping when he doesnt tell me my UI and Macros were about to be wiped (something he must have known was gonna happen).

Also Nilbog quoting "If name are offensive we will change them" and "at GMs discretion" is a weak argument to try to justify that "Taxi Driver" was changed. Just ditch the offensive part and just say that GMs can remove your name if you dont respect their authoritay on the forums.

I will not discuss this matter further, have fun flaming and painting me as a buttsore baby.

I am sorry i forgot to inform you to change your 2 character files. I usualy always do it, and if i forget it, i usualy get tells like "OMG my UI!! QQ", and then i explain it again. I will make sure to remember this better for future name changes. Thank you.

I understand that the devs don't owe use anything it's their sandbox etc etc but stuff like this just tarnishes the image of this server. I mean honestly, what is wrong with changing the offensive/inappropriate names and leaving the rest be? This sudden name enforcement is going to have to be pretty darn equal among all players no matter how long they've played or else it's just going to seem a tad selective.

That whole reference to being a child that got punished and wants other punished was ridiculous. If you have a bunch of kids doing something and only a few end up getting punished, it would appear to be pretty unfair.

The thing with names online is that primarily they are a tool. And now with vent being widespread they need to be a pronounceable comfortable length (short)and unique-enough(not easily confused with other players). Then realize most people have a collection of alts...

It's going to be a personal affront to players when you change their name after they've been around. It disrupts all the reputation they've gained negative or positive. And it'll make them completely unknown to people that they only dealt with in passing or grouped with once or twice.

I just don't think it's worth the trouble

[SchadenFreude]

My name was acceptable on Live. Something I did not post, but can probably dig up the screenshots for, was a discussion I had with a Sony GM the very first day I created Schaden Freude on the live servers. At level one, I posted a petition asking for a GM to explicitly approve or deny my name (and intended surname). I sat in Gloomingdeep until I got a response (which, oddly enough, only took about 5 minutes. I was shocked). The GM knew what SchadenFreude meant and stated that he not only felt it was an acceptable name, he stated that it was an excellent name for a shadow knight. I did this because I have been through this before and wanted to avoid a power tripping guide with a name-hammer it if was at all possible.

In all of my travels as SchadenFreude, I have never encountered a single person who thought my name fell into the "stupid", "offensive", nor even the non-RP realm. I have always received a positive response for picking this name. Not only does it meet the naming policy from the live servers, it also meets the naming policy on P99 (as is currently defined in the rules).

Stop your silly crusade.
