I had my name changed on live not because it was something offensive but because it was not what they considered a name, it was a statement/sentence and against the naming policy.

Missinyou (no last name)

I had a bard on live named Kwetcher Betchin. Had no problems for 4 years, then 1 day I guess someone betched and I logged in with no surname. So I did /surname Betchin and it worked. All was right again. Still have the name.

Lol.....

I grouped, on Live, with a Gnome Magician once, his surname was "Jesuspuncher," I immediately did a /surname "Jesusslayer...."

The next day, we had both lost our surname privileges.

I knew a Troll on live with the name Scumbag, name change was forced on him because his name was "offensive", this regardless of all the NPCs that call players scumsuckers...

That said, from the names I see it appears that there are an awful lot of age 13 middle-school dropouts playing here.

name changes can actually really take away from your character..

i mean if you get your name changed at level 5 no big deal. but when your level 45+ and your name gets changed its a little heart breaking lol. on live i can remember 2 of my friends names being changed, and mine once. All level 50+ in velious expansion.

Phallus - got changed to like, blackenchallus or something like that.

Lilbadazz (dwarf warrior) - got changed to something completely non-related and friend actually striped all the gear and deleted the character.

Turnup Theradio (My bard) - surname got changed cause it had the word "the" in it.

I'd just argue it isn't classic. They were pretty religious about the naming policy back in 1999-2003. After that they slowly stopped caring on live. I know they were really pushing role playing in 1999-2001 and there were hordes of role playing guilds on servers.

Sort of sad that MMORPGs were taken over by gamers. Especially as I am a big fan of EQ's lore and always appreciated it up until Luclin.
