naming policy?

[Tankdan]

Vile, profane, rude, or racist names including common swear words, anatomical references, racial slurs, and homonyms of these words.

Above all else, you may not choose character or guild name which, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Project 1999 Customer Service Staff, is deemed to be offensive or improper.


What about female erudites with urban names? Almost all urban names like Laquisha and Lafonda are taken and being used by players. Are these allowed? What about Tyrone and Trayvon etc for males? Are black sounding names in general allowed? Say my erudite is named Bonisha, will they rename my character or delete it or not care?

what racist about Tyrone or any of the other names you listed?

[Barkingturtle]

This thread is more offensive than any of those names.

This...

Names they are concerned about are like some dude I ran across in Blackburrow yesterday... "Cums"

They aren't concerned with names that you listed.

Wow, the racism is screaming ITT

I passed a guy in WW the other day named "Puppymassacre" or something similar, and that was far from the most ridiculous ones I've seen, so it doesn't appear they're too concerned.

I read through all the rules and regulations when I started here the other week. After reading the naming policy rules.. it sounded pretty serious. I thought "cool..no stupid names everywhere like every other mmo". Well..once I got in game and got around a bit, I discovered that the people in charge apparently don't give two craps about their naming policy. Or at least they don't have the time or manpower to enforce it. I see MORE ridiculous "against policy" names than I do honest fantasy style names. Go to EC tunnel...the majority of the people there have names that are clearly against the naming policy. I wouldn't take the risk of doing it because I wouldn't want to get in trouble one day if they decide to sweep through and clean it up...but honestly I don't think they enforce it at all.. or half the people i've seen so far would be nailed for it.

Names are fine until they get reported, then the naming policy is enforced in full. Just like it says in the rules.

And unless you're a repeat offender or using something especially egregious, the worst they'll do is just rename your character to Gibatak.
