As much as I have been enjoying WoW, they did one of the single things I hate the most that an MMORPG can do. They automatically prevent me from using Godwyn because of the first 3 letters. I understand that they are trying to prevent people from creating names that will offend others, but still. I have had a Battle.net account, which is run by Blizzard, with the same name for 6 or 7 years. Yes, I did check to make sure it just wasn't that someone else already has the name, I have tried every server and many variations, as long as the first 3 letters are the same, it won't accept it. This would go over better with me if I didn't see blatantly offensive names running about all the time, alright, it still wouldn't go over with me that well but anyways. |

the way to get rid of those with offensive names that you see running around is report those names to a GM, they will take care of it, most likely someone reported you if it was a name you have actually played with.
example: my first week of playing I met a nice person. Thier SN was Cannabis which I thought he was gonna be some lame teen but he ended up being pretty cool and helpful and actually spelled out words...but someone reported his name after over a month of playing and they changed him to rumplesomthing or other, something wierd lol |

Yeah, the name policy is a little rediculous. I remember this one girl off an RP server had her name changed from Tuesday to something stupid like Omnis. They go way to overboard with it. I mean I can understand some jerks running around with names like "1337dude" or stupid names like that, but it's like the only way you can get a name they won't change anymore is to use their own randomization button. |
