hmmm, hope there aren't any dutch speaking guys at GOA doing name checking .....
That amuses me to no end. When someone's beat them to a certain name, they'll just misspell it. I saw this a lot on the US servers.Originally posted by Orin Askhammare
There is always the people that have names from books and the like. I can't count the variations on Raistlin Majere, Caramon Majere, Drizzt Do'Urden that I've seen on both hands probably.
I'm very curious as to the reasoning behind Bloodomensword's name btw. Especially the all caps on his lastname is a classic. I clearly remember a WTF passing my lips when I first saw that hehe.

Just a quick word on this since it will make it easier for everyone...
I know that some of you like to have "funny" names in games, but please remember that you are not playing a single player game. You are playing with thousands of other players, of very different age, situation, country and history.
What you may think "fun” can be really shocking for someone else...
We have that naming policy; we try to change names not respecting it. However, we cannot check ALL the names (we are talking about thousands or them) to see if they are correct or not, that's why we rely on player reports a lot.
If you see a "funny-but-not-so-funny" name, please write it down and, when you log out, take a minute to report it on RightNow (don’t forget to specify your server/realm).
Have fun... While respecting other players' fun...
Coming back on this, since i think naming issue is an important one for a lot of players (and myself, and GOA of course).Originally posted by Arlone
As I understod it you should also pick a name that is 'in the spirit of the game'. The problem is that 'Killer LordOfJustice' is not offensive in any way, but it sure as hell is not in the spirit of the game.
Should names like the above be reported to RightNow? *crosses fingers for a yes*
I tried to pick my names in a roleplaying sense. I don't know alot about old england and the knights of Arthur but I choose names that hopefully wouldn't offend anyone nor spoil it for any roleplayers.
Hammerfist .. thats still a modern lastname in england right?
[EDIT]
since this was such a nice thread (and interesting) I thought I'd write some more. I've taken some names from this thread, as example of the names I'm writing about above. What kind of mom gives their children names like:
Silence
Bulls Eye
Merciless (2 our of 3 SFXman .. not bad .. hrhr)
Stay Frosty
Flamin Arrow (and from my own guild, ack!)
Windforce
There are of course thousands of others like this, and according to me that's disrespecting the roleplayers and (again) the spirit of the game. Those are not names *point above* - that's nicknames usually used in FPS-games like Quake or Half-life.
Flame, whine, hammer me dead - this is how I feel about it all.
When I'm grouped I notice that people with names like Eroticon Sex (I've seen that one), Pac Man (that too) and UberSlayer MassiveDamage (god forbid I ever see that) are refused, because there is a high chance they are immature morons. So picking names like these might not be a good idea

Maybe the reason i dont get much groups with you is because this so called immature moron is lvl 50 and there is no way i would be in parties where your lvl 14 ice wizz might be
included.

If you do a /send leetdor , or maybe even /send leet, leetdorkwithverylongname will get the send you know?
If you called yourself Pac Man you should've known that some day someone might react to it being against the entire roleplaying concept
