The rules are very flexible and some people can get away with stuff but I don't know why or when

Sums up the raid scene on the server 2...

Amelinda,
I believe the problem is not that the name is offensive or that Portsche gives a damn about the copyrighted names. The problem is that if you have /trackplayers on, Gorenaire shows up white as a PC, also Gorenaire the dragon would be white (even con to a 60).
The whole purpose of creating Gorenaire was to put him in DL to troll TMO. Obviously I'm smart enough to tell the difference when I'm tracking, and I know how to type "/tra off", but the name should be changed due to the malicious intent of the character.

Look at the screenshot he (OP) provided and see where this Gore char was. It's like a level 32 tracker in EJ, not DLs. So there is no way it can be mistaken as a level 60 dragon named Severilous, that is what I found funny about the petition. I did agree at the time and have changed that trackers name since. The only thing it can mess with is a sound alarm from a 3rd party system when they log in and pop up on someones tracking list. Or unless someone is really retarded and falls for a green con player, then hey they should be laughed at by their own guild.

How about not petition for a name that breaks the rules in the first place? Not only do I have to answer your petition about it, I then have to explain as to why I can't give the last name, then people want to argue about it.

As example the only one I came across last night was

[Mon Mar 05 21:05:18 2012] [Petition 09:04PM] (10779)Stupidname: I would like my surname changed to Youngdoctor , please.
[Mon Mar 05 21:05:51 2012] You told stupidname, 'Be lucky you even have your first name. Im not going to add a stupid last name that isnt even a reach within the naming rules'
[Mon Mar 05 21:06:02 2012] stupidname tells you, 'yes sir [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]'
[Mon Mar 05 21:06:08 2012] You told stupidname, 'But id be happy to give you a good last name if you choose one'
[Mon Mar 05 21:06:23 2012] stupidname tells you, 'ty, i'll try to think of something appropriate.'

It's like having someone named Captainbrowneye petitioning someone training them. Guess whats going to happen? And yes this happened. Want to bitch about "Rapedust" "Smokesweed" or some other retarded "Kingofthebitches" last name being changed, how about not having the last names in the first place?

As for first names I have changed there have been 11 of them. 1 was a level 60 who should have never the name in the first place(Amelinda told me to), and the rest below level 10. I'll be sure to cry myself to sleep when people break rules and get called on it.

I agree the naming policy has been lax the past few months. Amelinda was the only one guiding on the server so she couldn't see everything. Now I can help and correct what I can.

That gore character is mostly in DL, every time i've seen him, it's in DL.

On a tracking list it shows up white b/c it's a player, not green.


This is quality ironing you've done here.

Hey I never said I could be wrong about some things! Only time I ever used track was on my bard and only had npc names on.

But everything else still stands besides me being stupid about track colors and how PCs show up.

Couldn't*

Stupid no edit

you should call them out for the fact that all trackers can remove player characters from a tracking list.

I do in guild chat.

Looks to me like you'll just keep making excuses and snarky comments. What a great addition to our guides...

Or I could really be Charms

That's because there are a bunch of petty faggots that report people for any names with originality.

People are more concerned with reporting each other and playing name police rather than playing a video game to have fun. Amazing how many people here never graduated from a 1999 school of thought.

I'm pissed because Hobby wouldn't let me keep Ballsmasher as a surname.

I'm more pissed because Ambrotos wouldn't let me keep Ballsmasher as a surname on my alt.

Rage!
