Character Names

[Slave]

Amelinda was a fucking idiot when it came to name changes. I trust Ambrotos a lot more to handle it in a sane fashion.

I wish I'd thought of Fartbarf... sweet name for an ogre...

I'm also against name changes unless there's some tie-in to hate crimes, etc...

On Live, I had a monk guildmate named Draggoon... we got a new lead server GM (Helenethea) several years into the game. She swooped in one day while he was pulling PoHate for us and forced him to change it on the spot, because it was too similar to the DE guard names... He was crushed, everyone else was enraged beyond belief, raid basically ended, and he drifted away from the game soon after...

What a twat...

That's bullshit. I agree with you 100% and you were nameraped.

GMs, listen. This kind of powertripping crap can really ruin someone's enjoyment of the game, and it sure as hell doesn't take away from my immersion when I see the Tassive Mesticles of the world walk by. In fact, I usually really enjoy it.

I enjoy the unique names! If I see someone with a funny name it usually makes me smile or go into gigglefits. Most of us are adults and should be able to handle a semi offensive name without getting our panties in a knot.

My characters name was Gonorrhea, It got changed to Renameme PetitionsTheNameYouWant. So i now have a very very long name. I found it funny that people who get offended over STD names typically are ones who have/had the infection.

I've been giggling like a 10 year old about "Fartbarf" all afternoon...

Don't agree with the OP, but thanks for posting anyway - made my Friday [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

So do the GMs enforce the naming rules on 1999?

I see so many people with names like fartbarf and such. I'd like to see these eliminated, but I'm sure its time consuming.

I would like people to try and create a fantasy world, not a joke.

go out side go do something instead of worrying about stupid stuff like this

The names just ruin my gaming experience too. In fact, they ruin my life. I cant sleep because all I think about are people in video games that aren't role playing.
