Character Names

[Chokan]

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

[feanan]

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

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.

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.

[knix]

I had my name changed on live not because it was something offensive but because it was not what they considered a name, it was a statement/sentence and against the naming policy.

Missinyou (no last name)

[Spitty]

I was gonna ask - was your surname Todeath?

Also, fartbarf. Great stuff.

[BattleToad]

Buttcheeks the Ogre Shaman is now Oogor.

[Belz]

There was/is also a Troll Shadowknight named....

Well, it's a god's name.
