Winchester the wood eld druid in a fantasy RPG is not in violation of any trademark or copyright. It's down to "the staff doesn't want to allow that name". Since it's a private server, they have that right and don't have to have a reason. But let's not pretend that there is any infringement or rule violation here over a name as prevalent as "Winchester", especially over "guns and ammo" in a world where guns and ammo don't exist. Get real.

Interesting note - there actually is a trademark registered for "Winchester Ranger". Had he been a ranger, there would have been a legitimate case!
You're being deliberately dense. Winchester is an internationally recognized name, and not even a recent one: go back a hundred years and interview almost anyone in America and they'll be familiar with the Winchester rifle.

If you can show me any widely recognized name like that that didn't/won't get removed you'll have a point, but until then you're just whining because your extremely well-known and clearly rule-violating name got changed.

My rogue is Murderz Gnomes, in my defense I petitioned myself about a year ago. The GM responded with "Your name is fine, sorry. Enjoy the slaughter.

Wait, so I can't roleplay as a half elf druid roleplaying in a roleplaying game as a character that identifies as being a kitten who says meow?

This is the most glorious thing I’ve ever seen. Sorry to those I will never recognize ever again... in before Caiu cleanses a guild recharge.

You guys seriously changed the name of my main I've had since February 3rd 2010? I'm not mad, or angry, but words cannot express how disappointing this is. I've always fully supported the staff here, especially Sirken, who I have had the pleasure of playing under since vz/tz emu days. But this is very disheartening. I will most likely be bowing out of the community for good. Thanks for the enjoyment. I guess it was time to move on anyways.

Cant really have any respect for a naming policy where the main person behind enforcing of the policy violates it.

I.e.: Sirken

To be fair. Sirken is NOT a player.

You just empowered snitches/griefers.

Also rip to anyone who lent out any gear. Hope it was to someone honest.
