When are you gonna start enforcing this.
You've never been "rock"ed? :D
I would like to know this too.They should start after maint since ppl can t change names and guild names before maint.
This is kind of stupid on a mature game where we have sluty costume and all that. Its like closing my eyes whenever I see a shampoo commercial on TV because the girl is in a bikiny. -_-
I'm enforcing it NOW. It's been a rule that has always been in place, it's been up in our forums for over 4 years. I recently reviewed it and re-posted it for my players, and now it seems like it's being noticed. I will change names on the spot, to the most embarrassing things I can think of, for people that have inappropriate names against the rules that are up. Don't let me catch you with a nasty name, or you'll have a silly one instead!
See you in game!

So, the least you can do is wait until next maint when everyone has had the opportunity to name change, since the system you developed only allows players to change on maint days. If we are taking about fairness you should also provide players with a free character or guild name change given that it's your own staffs fault and lazyness that lead to none of them taking any action towards this.
Also, this is a mature game it makes no sense that this type of censorship will be enforced. If you are gonna start doing this then you might as well re design the Trinity race and half of the costumes.
This may be a mature game, but if mature people were actually playing it - the need for such enforcement would not be there.
It's not very mature to make up names for the sake of offense only, is it?
what about my guild DickBuTT?
Really ?
I fail to see how having offensive/inappropriate names has ANYTHING to do with how characters in game dress or look like. The rules have always been there, if they were enforced or not before I started enforcing them is irrelevant. As I said earlier, they are being enforced NOW. I AM providing free name changes, if I catch you with an inappropriate name, I will change it to something that IS appropriate(Though you may not like what it is..). If you don't like the name that it was changed to, then maybe you shouldn't have broken our rules in the first place?Quote:

See you in game!
Hey, Karazy - since when did you join Rohan, if I may ask?
If its a funny name i kind of feel encouraged to break this rule and a lot of others would. Just for the lulz.
Lol i would like to know to : oooooooQuote:

There was a time that YNK (not since PWi) enforced offensive naming by renaming you to rock####. I remember a guild called MotherF***ers that got removed a day after it was created. It was not just from GMs wandering the game and taking note of offenders. Also other players that reported people were getting people 'rock'ed.
Since Karazy is saying he will be changing them to something goofy, I would expect your guild to be renamed to something a little less offensive like "PinkBunnies" or "PuppyPatrol".Quote:

"Kino ****ed up his duties and is trying to flee from Par'Talucca."
"What the ****, you smell like ****. Where have you been for you to emit such foul odor? I ask for someone reliable and they send me scum like you. Tramps are all one and the same. Don't just stand there and come here.
"You sick son of a bitch. How can you so selfishly refuse a man who is dying right in front of your own eyes?
"Ha! I knew it! You're scared even before I tell you what the task involves. Get the **** out of my face you coward."
... So if I see a character named "WhatThe****" or "BitchBoy" get renamed, then the devs ought to clean up every NPC's mouth.
Cant wait to see those original names running around :DQuote:

In fact, I couldn't even call my character to my actual own name as it, too, is linked to religion (but not given to me by that meaning - but after my mom watched Jonathan Livingstone Seagull (no but really, I'm serious here D: )
So, where DO you draw the line?
And that is the reason why "some" names are allowed, due to being in the grey zone. Can't be too rigid with rules, the same applies in real life. Why does one get a fine and another only a warning? Etc.
The point is, when it is clear that it has been done to offend, to shock or mock - whipe it clean.
I mean, "DickBuTT" for an example - what other purpose but childish wordplay does this represent? What did one hope to achieve by making a guild with that name? Fame?
@bosshunt: what are you talking about? I lost over 6K on posts.
That's 6000!
SIX $@&!%$#@ THOUSAND!
I just can't get over it :( *lesigh*
What were they thinking?
It has been a very long time indeed since that naming policy was last enforced. At some point a GM even overrode a part of that policy by saying special characters are allowed in this game.
There must be some dark forces at work here. I have not lost 6k posts, but I did lose 2 posts right from this thread. If you check on the previous page GodsRage quoted me:Quote:

You are not worthy of having "Eagle" anywhere in your name. For sullying the image of the Eagle, you must watch this video to redeem yourself:

Which religion exactly? Judaism? Hindu? Buddhism? Which god are you talking about exactly?Quote:

Welcome to the post disappearance party bosshunt. Peagle was busted from spam king to posting peasant overnight.
Well I was a bit worried about this policy then... i did some research about the name i used to choose xD
I have my wizz named JesusChrist and its not against the TOS actually because its not religious, its an icon name (as mythology, mentionned in The Bible, The Coran, Jehova's Witness, all regious books use the name JesusChrist but all with different versions of it) and the TOS are mentionned about it (so i think all ppl that use Greeks Divinities names are clearly fcked if TOS would anyway), thats not occult because occult is about paranormal (as Moïse ? its the first one I think about), and its not historic either, history is a SCIENCE of knowledge of the past, mythology isnt.
If I would have call it Jesus, or JesusDeNazareth or TheChrist it would be against the TOS, JesusChrist is not, its an icon name.
Just because I heard some ppl wanted to report me, so its useless, its not against the TOS :)))))))
prove it. totally different religions.Quote:

So let's look at the purpose of rules in a forum shall we? Why are they there? This forum is visible to the open public. You don't even need to be a members to read any of this. Do you understand WHY there are rules against names having religious significance or rules against starting flame wars with harassment and sexual references? They exist to keep from offending other members of the community. Apparently you don't quite understand that since the Moderator/GM is editing your posts.
Stellan doesn't have a Donkey as far as I know.Quote:

Act your age.
Sylf, I hate to tell you this but the name Jesus Christ is the basis of Christianity (see that "Christ" in the name?) and pretty much began with his life. It is as inflammatory to devout christians as naming your toon Muhammad would be to devout muslems. It is belittling to the beliefs of those religions and people will object to it if they know they can.Quote:

This handle is not named "God" or "Allah". It is a synonym on what you can expect of you manage to piss off some omnipotent being.Quote:

so don't piss off this guy:

or you will get me coming at ya!
How do you know strellan even has that. Did you see it for yourself?Quote:
I see, you just like strellans semen down your throat.
You know if you keep making statements like that the Mod/GMs here will get tired of editing them and simply block you from the forums. And don't think they can't. I can tell them exactly how to stop people from making accounts even if they use VPNs. I know VBulletin software inside-out.
Maybe, but Jesus Christ isnt a god anyway, and muslim recognize "it" as a prophet of god, in all the religions hes a messie, an iconQuote:

Religions themselves doesnt ban the use of the name, figure, icon of JC as it is for Allah, God, or so
And as i said nothing prooves his existance, so its not an historic figure
So GMs have no right to "rock" my name :)
Jesus wasn't a god indeed, but the name has a profound significance in the world's largest religion (Islam comes in second place). The fact that there are such strong religious ties in that name is one of the reasons you very well could get "rock"ed if somebody complains loud enough.Quote:

While I don't follow anyone else's religious beliefs, I wouldn't belittle anyone else's faith by mocking their icons if religious significance. Whiole you haven';t been "rock"ed yyt, you can bet someone will get their nose out of joint, report you to the GMs and get you "rock"ed (or if Karazy gets his way "FuzzyBunnied").
Don't try to analyze it. there is nothing logical about religions (except mine ;) ).
Im 100% Atheist too, so this game want to be and if the game is as it should be : secular, Jesus Christ should be considered as a figure or an icon or an art emblem, not as a religious things as the secularism itself says (and the 2 religions that use it too).Quote:

Ppl that would spam ticket (as they heard they does) are anti-secularism, and should just learn some respect as they are in a mmo with a community with worldwide players.
Are Dickbutt, Justin Bieber and YouKilledMyPup ok?
i think no since Astra is banned for have "boobs" guildQuote:

Astra is NOT under a ban. I dont know how many times Ive had to repeat this. He is the GM char of BOOBs and boobs has to rename the guild. So the GM char = Astra has to be sealed for that to happen. NOT Ban.Quote:
