Some nice stasi shit going on here, well done.

Knights who say ni needs to be reported immediately because that name belong to the Monty Phyton universe and not the Everquest universe.

Please erase them from the server.

Nothing personal here, just keeping the cleanse going.

I am not impressed until they put their money where their mouth is and really follow through on the blatant violations such as Kittens, Knights, Dial etc. Why go after nobodies like Winchester first when you have huge violations like them ?

I googled Loramin and the first 4 posts were about the drug.

Right ... and then results 5-7 were for my toon, correct? Show me any real/non-obscure drug alias that has a MMOG character in even the top 100 results and maybe you'll have a point.

As I am fairly certain the name Winchester could be a first name.

Granted, ever since the yuppies got old enough to start having children pretty much anything can be a first name.

I want to report Lars and Ulrich McMannus for violating the naming policy due to the pop culture/singer reference. They're NPCs so I don't think they'll angrily post on the forum about it, unless the AI here is better than I thought.

You lied when you said googling Loramin the first results weren't the drug.

And I said that when exactly? This forum has a quote feature, which should make it really easy for you to answer. Show me when I said that the drug was not in the first results when you googled for Loramin.

What I actually said was something to the effect of "real drug aliases don't have MMOG characters on the first page of their search results".

Fun times with quotes. I think they're piling on you simply because you made the critical forum mistake of responding to 'em.

The amount of work loramin does on the wiki you should be thanking him. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If you want to rant and flame, do it in RnF, NOT server chat!

You are correct, I must have been blinded by your hypocrisy and read that Google post wrong.

You being on the fifth and sixth result means what exactly? Page 2 there's what seems to be posts for a WoW and LoL character named Loramin. What does this mean?

The answer is nothing. Your Google counterargument means absolutely nothing. You still have a name from a known and distributed drug, which is a violation.

Well I'm glad that you've retracted calling me a liar. My forum reputation has been defended!

As for the rest, you can young lawyer this nonsense all day long but it won't change the fact that 99.9% of the server has never heard of a drug called Loramin, but 99.9% of the server has heard of either a house or a rifle (or a famous family) called Winchester.

The naming policy is not something crazy or dictatorial. It's logical, well-spelled out, and serves a purpose: to let people trying to escape into a game do so (mostly) without obvious distractions ... just like they (mostly) were able to do back in `99.

This all reminds of me Communism and dictatorship.

Yeah, I love how big guilds have been around forever broadcasting dumb names all around me and they go after nobodies like Winchester for the first to go in the big batch, where is the logic here?

Are you on some sort of witch hunt? Go buy some lotion, check out pornhub and then stfu about your retarded name crusade. Let the GM's and Guides do their thing. All you're doing is harassing players. 80% of the server is in some sort of "violation" of the extremely strict and unrealistic naming policy.
