Character Names

[Chokan]

I have a cleric alt named Clermidia. I think it makes people laugh when I run by...

Bottom line, pornographic/drug/copyrighted names/etc weren't in classic. If they were, they always got petitioned and changed. Very few ever slipped through the cracks, cause people were all over that shit.

I know you think you're all cool and stuff because Suckin Yourtits is your main. giggle giggle.

It has nothing to do with roleplay or not. People let their kids play this game.
I don't really need to explain to him who Cummin Inyourmouth is, or Bigphat Bongpulls is

Yeah, not like Tigole Bitties wasn't one of the most famous players ever in EQ and now an employee of Blizzard due to his EQ fame or anything.

TEEN
Content is generally suitable for ages 13 and up. May contain violence, suggestive themes, crude humor, minimal blood, simulated gambling, and/or infrequent use of strong language.

So because you are letting your kids play that are not of age; others are supposed to abide by your own made up rules? Cool.
13 year olds these days hear a lot worse things at school than names like "Cummin Inyourmouth is, or Bigphat Bongpulls" if you don't think so, you're naive.

Get over it and play. Like others have said, if someone else's name ruins your gaming experience you definitely are playing the wrong game and are in the wrong community. The GM's don't need to waste their time with this crap, there are a lot of other issues as in any other issue that should take precedence over someone's feelings getting hurt because of a character name.

Guess this is about the response one could expect from someone who can't come up with anything better than sloppy pants for a name. Nice one!

My made up rules? Hardly. I could just say it's not classic, which is true.

Or I could point you at this thread.

Wow, guess I didn't make it up, huh?

I'm level 60, not guilded, and have nothing better to do. I will become a petition machine.

this dude needs to spend less time worrying about other people and more time working on his own social skills obviously he's lacking friends if he is unguilded at 60 and has nothing better to do than spam the gms with lame ass naming violations

There can't be that many kids between 5 and 20 who will actually tolerate playing a game like EQ for more than passing moments... You pretty much had to be there when it came out to really love it. It is a sawed-off bitch of a game compared to the more current alternatives.

Am I wrong?

I rolled a toon for my 4yo, but he can't read yet. My 6yo has no interest in playing or even watching me play.

I started EQ when I was 5, and I could read. I am here now playing on this server a long time and atm I'm 18... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

My SK, "Brik Shithouse" earned himself a 24 hour ban for a naming problem.

DESPITE...getting involved in 3 GM events with the surname and having no issue there. Just sat in EC one day and got dumped to the login screen. It said I was banned and the black hole forum (AKA petition forum) never got a response.

If I didn't keep trying to log in over the next couple of days I'd have taken it as exactly that, but it turned out to be a 24 hour suspension. Wasn't informed, bad GM experience for sure. Goes back to when Uthgaard and Hobby were still around, though I think Amelinda flipped the switch.

Yes, she loved to take any excuse to get on a soapbox. TBH, I loved some of the inappropriate names. And since P99 isnt a profit based entity, there was no obligation to keep anyone from naming themselves after popular fiction. Which meant that doing so was just empty powermongering.
