I am Formally petitioning to lead the Immersion Protection Squad, a brigade of veteran players who care about the server and patrol Norrath, reporting ALL names which violate naming convention. Is this recognized by the Staff?

<Immersion Protection Squad> has to be the most immersion ruining name for a guild though. From a utility stand point, the fun they took away by forcing people to rename was greater than the fun they added for people who petitioned. And some of the names they changes were really poor choices (Winchester is just fine, I'm sure youll get a google hit for something irl for virtually all the names people have)

Good work I say, this is a fantasy world some names are just really dumb and obviously breaking the rules and people just do it anyways. You play here free so just follows the rules. I don't think it's that hard.

Please explain how "Winchester" violates any rules or is out of line in a fantasy context. I've had the name for eight years. The surname needed to go, sure, but what is wrong with "Winchester" on its own?

Is p1999's naming policy and its enforcement classic? Can anyone provide proof?

This is an EMU server, Rules are as they dictate them. This does not have to be classic. There are a ton of modern issues with online gaming today that would not be covered by 'classic rules'.

FURTHERMORE... People with these joke names were a novalty back in the day. It was uncommon to find people with silly joking names. On modern mmo's it's an epidemic and everyone with these joke names think they're original and funny.

SO you want to bring up classic? These joke names are NOT classic. Especially on the epidemic scale they've been on p99.

This. And to the previous poster, name enforcement was pure classic. And to an even earlier post, yes pulling you out of a group and zone was also classic. I had an Ogre warrior in the kunark era pulled out of a LGuk group and summoned by a GM to discuss his name. I fully acknowledged that Arserammer was not acceptable and I would accept any punishment given. For that, my Ogre warrior was forever known as Arflower from that day forward.
