To all those who hated on me for my Naming Policy Thread.

[Cambiant]

I repent. I see now that Baler (a real town ((and body of water)) in the Philippines) has intended to sacrifice himself all along for our naming sacrileges. Obviously taking the name of a real world place is not "thematically consistent with the high-fantasy environment of EverQuest". I'll light a candle in your name, Baler, or Plutrien or whatever terrible fantasy name you get. Pras.

The name "Baler" doesn't violate the naming policy, just FYI. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

A player character name that could potentially be, letter for letter, another player's hometown? Riiiight. See you in elf-court, Plutrien.

You stick to forum posts because ToV is too hard?

Forum posting is objectively harder than most play in ToV. Sad facts about EQ raiding.

I have to give it to you Baler. You defeated me [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]. You got my name changed. And my name was really important to me. This is not a good day for me, or week for that matter with my broken leg lol. You got justice for your pal Swish [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]. Although a troll on the forums, I really did a lot for the community in game. It won't ever be the same for me logging in without my original name. Sad times pals. <3

What justice? Swish's permaban was self-inflicted and long overdue.

Nah, I’m not prepping anything buddy. I’m done here. This naming thing is really petty. I never in all my time here thought they would enforce this the way they just did. And for Landris to add in the initial post they changed the names for a reason, so don’t bother petitioning to get it back. Np.

I think we need more pictures of people deleting their characters and rage quitting the game over their name being changed. That was hilarious

I feel you.

It's peculiar they'd suddenly start enforcing it after people had established themselves with these names for years.

Clearly no RnF post began the purge, as we have mocked the policy in the past even in the server section ages ago so I am just wondering what the real reason is, why they started to enforce it.

I am kind of stymied by the glee some people seem to get from it. This has had no impact on me whatsoever but I am trying to wrap my head around why a few select people trumpet this as if it's the next coming of Christ.

As for Baler and others, I guess I am supposed to congratulate you guys on your happiness with the guides for enforcing the naming policy which had nothing to do with you wanting it to be enforced, congrats! Trying to be happy for you here. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

P.S. Not one of my character names has been changed! (Yay for inventive fantasy driven names on my behalf.)

P.P.S. Even Bahgtru was untouched, which clearly is in violation btw! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

because anger is funny, especially video game anger.

i wonder what the split was between actual characters and tunnel mules. policing the tunnel is a waste of time unless you start suspending for mild but repeated violations(please do not)
