This day, i met a mod, who decided that my name was going to be changed

I guess i saw this coming, i made my nightshade, Terrorism, months before the 9/11. But still with all the terrorism there is today, i guess i could not get around it.

From now on my shade will be known as Shadowzone...

but still, is this right of the mod? im paying to play this game and;

terrorism, ie terrorize, is no directly linked to a bombing terrorist, more like

To Terrorize some1

Dictionary: terrorism: the state of fear and submission produced by terrorism or terrorization.

well .. now u know

sad to hear m8. But its their game, and if they feel that Terrorism is offensive then it is offensive. I actually wonder why my shaman is still called Sosnotty(long story why it has that name), i would have bet they would have changed that one also.

To be honest, you'd probably not cause offence with Terrorise, but would with Terrorism or Terrorist to some people these days.

Mmm, that definition doesnt look quite right to me, but thats besides the point. Does seem a little daft. Maybe youve pissed on someones chips and theyve reported the name. Some people could find it offensive, there could be people who play who have been victims of terrorism for example, but then, most names are offensive to someone, so where do you draw the line?

Shadowzone aint too bad in any case.

I can see why they'd have you change the name, just to prevent any trouble it might cause, however unlikely, but I don't have the slightest problem with the name, and I believe that anyone with half a brain would think the same. It'd be a different story if you called your character Terrorism NineElevenRocked, or so, tho it'd still be pretty hard to make me care.

Well I liked ur name, and had a laugh when I saw the spawm XXXX was killed by terrorism :)


Honestly I think its Insane that in a game were we try to kill eachother, u cant call urselfe Terrorism....

But I am not the sensitive kind, and have morbid humor...:), well /salute Terrorisme and welcome Shadowzone.

I remember when i was a UN soldier it was bad of us to talk dirty or joke about death, but we were armed and could use all means to neutralize threats...with more than words..

THIS IS A GAME:flame:

U can kill someone but u cant tell a joke..................moral ???

Today everybody is a terrorist, if they don't agree with the Hitlers of todays world.
Anyways what load of crap, why is the word so sensative?

Terrorist, Jew, nazi, muslim, lets all forbit these words to be spoken, so "the problem" (what problem?) goes away.

Less bullshitting around GoA, you're French fgs and use some shitty isp company, so you are terrorists by definition?

i used to have a char called Fokov.

noone noticed untill i chose `AndDie` as second name ... someone whined, it got changed.

silly imho.

agreed there are some silly names out there, but nothing ever offended me to a point i felt the need to whine about it.

Only names i want to see changed are people who called chars `shar`, `brehon`, ...etc cause it is bloody confusing. a name like `standingontheroof WithARocketLauncher` might be `funny/stupid` for a fire wizard but hey.

Sometimes people choose a name that they come to regret (`Neverdies` comes to my mind, he later took the second name `TheLiar`) and which becomes reason to a whole lot of stupid pm`s / emotes. I know people who have quit the game due to a poorly chosen name and the reactions to it:/

what`s in a word ? That what we call a troll, by any other name would still smell as bad ;)

Don't think anyone can truly be offended by the word Terrorism - seems infinitely silly to me and overly PC - as most of the word seems to be becoming.

Choosing a name is about the only RP part i concede to my gaming time.
Just choose Fantasy names and they won't be changed!

In no fan of daft names, I think most people should have at least enough roleplay in them to choose a reasonable fantasy name, however I think theres far far more offensive names around at the moment then terrorism.

Anyone remember when 'righteous bastards' had their guild name changed? So overly PC it's ridiculous...

On that note, if anyone wants to, please feel free to complain about my tics name (Kirennitic). It was only supposed to be a thid char name so I put no thought into it and it's mighty annoying when people try to pm me and can't because my BBs name is so similar :p
