No. I should not have to make changes on my end just to accommodate people with offensive names. I want to see most names and surnames -- the players who insist on being offensive with their choices should be the ones that are required to make changes, not the ones with a bit of maturity.

"Name cant be a phrase..." Most RP names or names from middle ages which comprise the Fantasy MMO name set were phrases. People would use the location the grew up in, the trade they practiced and any number of other things as part of their name.
I think you're misunderstanding what a "phrase" is. No, I don't think there's any problem with "Cryptwalker" and I think 95% of players would agree. But that's just it -- it's not a phrase.

"Show me the money" is a popular phrase, ergo, "Showme Themoney" should not be an acceptable name. Quite a bit different than a surname of Cryptwalker. Edit: and though I'm not crazy about "Showme Themoney" as a potential name, I wouldn't report it. It's still a far cry from juvenile garbage like "Fore Skin".

Some of this rational is retarded. I bet you would object to my paladins surname of "Cryptwalker" which I would retort with, I am a fucking paladin tasked with destroying the undead from these cursed graveyards and battle field crypts. You sound like you belong in some second rate communist country you control freak.
And you sound like you have anger issues, not to mention a propensity for lashing out at people when your position isn't even accurate to begin with.

Surnames like Fallenleaf for a druid, would be totally legit.
Bearpaw for a shaman is also totally legit and 100% fits in the spirit or EQ and fantasy RPG's in general. Do you actually think tribal names didn't exist in the middle ages? And what does EQ have to do with Earth's middle ages anyway? I have never read this in any EQ manual. It's a completely different universe.

Bonebreaker, Melodious, Lightningrod, (just some random names) would also be legit fantasy based names or surnames.

You are completely misunderstanding what the naming policy is on live.
