Well, you can consider this an official "push" because the double standards are bullshit as far as i'm concerned.. If enough people get pissed off, the naming policy will get reformed.

We will see =)

If you continue to push me i will make sure to go out of my way to rename every single one of you that does not fit the naming policy. I told you, when i give out illusions it is MY play time, and i do not rename people in MY play time, i try to goof arround with them, and i dont even look at the names!

You fit squarely into the definition of "Guide on a power trip". This is your sandbox. You can keep it. I am just glad it only took me a month to identify that P99 is the worst of everything that drove players away from "Classic EQ", right down to the power tripping guides.

You are so wrong, i am simply following the rules, like everyone else should, then i would not be needed at all.

Since you seem to like German:

I have explained my self more then enought here, i do not care what you think or who you think you are. I explained when i rename people and why, if you have a name against the naming policy and i notice it, you will be renamed unless i am busy with other petitions.

This is not gonna change, this is not a double standard, its called prioritizing.

The server rules only reference the word "name" in one place:

- Character renaming can and will occur if a player’s name is offensive. (GM Discretion)

The rules say nothing about Roleplaying names, nothing about phrases, nor anything about any of the arguments you used to support your knee-jerk, abuse-of-powers actions. You seem to think that everything in "Classic EQ" needs to be replicated on P99, right down to the guide program that ruined EQ the first time around.

I don't expect you to do the right thing and back off from your crusade. You will probably just change the rules to make your actions "legal" on P99. It would be nothing new; the exact same thing happened to me on the Live servers in the days of "Classic EQ v1.0".

"Do the right thing"? really?!? You're mustering an awful lot of righteous indignation over the letters that identify your avatar in a game you don't even pay for. Yeah, actually, that's the real point. You don't pay for this. You don't own it.

Someone else set up a playground and said, "Hey you can come use this for free, at my discretion." So, you look at all the toys and slides and think it's a pretty cool looking place to hang out. So you come in and play for awhile, but then you do something that the owner's chaperon sees and doesn't like. The chaperon says, "Change this, or you'll have to leave." Now you have a choice. Is playing in the playground still worth it to you if you have to have different letters above your head? It's a "yes" or "no". The bottom line is that this is not your playground, so you don't make the rules. The owner didn't say, "Hey, I'm making this cool playground thing and I want a bunch of people to come in and help decide what the rules are going to be."

Basically what I am saying here is that you have not been wronged. You are not a victim. If you want to be able to have the name Shadenfreude, then you ought to approach the issue by asking the devs politely and privately if they will allow it. Claiming moral outrage when there is no cause for it just makes you look foolish, or like someone trying to start a movement.

They couldn't charge for it if they wanted to, so I'm not sure what point you're getting at.

The real issue is that cyrius is enforcing a nonexistant naming policy. Fine. Whatever. Let's get it codified and enforced and see how long it lasts.

Right now, we're seeing sunshine enforcement where a few people get their names changed once a month when it is fun and convenient to do so while the vast majority of legitimately offensive names remain untouched and preferential treatment is granted toward some members. The fact that cyrius threatened to begin actually enforcing the rules a few posts ago is proof of this. If the current enforcement was globalized and made consistent, the possibility of enough 'moral outrage' for a 'movement' (if you insist on using those words) is very real.
