hmmm… heh removing sig name, this thread only confuses. It’s not “offensive” but kind of a word (class related actually) and seems someone is always “offended” about something. Used the word-name on early live (not Firiona Vie), never had a prob, but who knows… emu’s someone is always crying about something, and I'm sure I'll offend someone in forums (thin-skins) that could snitch-complain in-game. Hope to see this rule list someday before I name my next.

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. | ||

Personally, I could care less what anyone's name is. The only names I can logically conclude as an issue would be those with meanings that parents wouldn't want their children seeing. Anything beyond that is oppressive in my opinion. If names are being enforced due to a specific vision of a fantasy world, then everything that steps outside of that vision should be enforced. Chat conversations, using letters instead of spelling out what you are trying to say (eg WTS), anything and everything that falls outside of the bounds that are equally set for names. All or none would be the fairest and most logical way to handle it.

No, please, no. I dislike stupid names. The name I use in role-playing games is (by design) about as generic as they come. But 'think of teh children' strikes me as the worst, most inane argument out there. The entirety of humanity shouldn't be stuck living in a G-rated world just to protect the delicate sensibilities of 6-year olds and their frightened soccer mom parents. This particularly applies to an emulator server of a game that was made before today's little children were even born. I vote for restricting dumb names because they're moving eyesores--the video game equivalent of roaming graffiti. They're annoying and ugly to *normal* people; whether they're objectional to 6 year olds remains wholly irrelevant. All that being said, I've never reported any name, be it here or in any other game. While I have my opinions on the matter, those opinions aren't strong enough to motivate me to go out of my way trying to police such things. Danth | ||

The more you tighten your grip, Lord Vader, the more star systems will slip through your fingers.
If a rule percieved to be mostly unimportant is over-enforced, we may see an influx of rebellious names because players know they outnumber the devs by a wide margin. P
