Recently, the staff went ahead and changed several names of those in violation of the naming policy. I'll go ahead and post the policy here, just to save you time;



If your character name was part of this group, you may petition for a 1 time name change (within an acceptable time frame) so long as it adheres to the naming policy. Do not petition with the expectation of getting your original name back, it was changed for a reason. Thank you for your cooperation.

-P99 Staff

Hi Llandris,

Your name backwards is Sir DNA DLL (dynamic link library).

Is it safe to assume that the next name purging will include your name as well?

Thanks.

no.

Let me show you all the ways Winchester needed to go:

-Names of religious, occult, or significant historic origin

(Winchester family line, Winchester UK)

Copyrighted or trademarked names of products, characters, services, or concepts (e.g. Bigmac, Marlboro, Sony)

(Winchester Rifles)

YIKES pretty bad huh

Please be judicious in choosing your character's names, and understand that it is a currency of reputation that cannot be discarded.

Just curious, what's your objection to the basic heuristic of:

Every time I see the name Loramin, I can't help but think of this

Have to admit, I wish I never seen this image of Loramin on a box. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I am here to help you out, don't go down this rabbit hole my pal.

You got to remember one thing. It's their world, not ours.

Poke fun at it, have fun with it, but don't let your emotions get the best of you. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I wish I hadn't either (had no idea it was a drug name before this whole conversation started).

But you didn't answer my question. Loramin, the drug name, is extremely obscure: as I said my character shows up three times on the first page when you google it. 99% of all players do not see "Loramin" and think "that's a marketing alias of the drug ___" ... they'll think it's a fantasy name. However, 99% of players who see "Winchester" will think of the gun, family, mystery house, etc.

So again, I ask: what's your problem with banning names that obviously mean something non-EQ to most people? If you honestly believe people should be able to have names that clearly mean something non-EQ-related, just say so.

still no response from lhance regarding winchester?

Guess even he can't argue with the P99 naming conventions!

btw lhance i'm not adding your name to the list because i don't want to help you. yo'll have to petition yourself.

Every time i see loramins smug posts i think of this medication. He clearly is in violation of the naming policy and must be CORRECTED.
