ToS Violation for name ????

There will always be some self-centered person out there to ruin it for ya. Then again I try to stick to names that can actually fit people.

Um, I think you're projecting or something, because you're accusing me of motives which aren't true and are basing them on GOd only knows what information (since you know nothing about me).

I'm not here to play on an RP server, and therefore I'm not here to engage in any serious role playing. To me it would therefore make no sense to carry a serious person/alien/thing name when I'm not playing the game as if I am trying to life the character role.

To let you know a bit more about myself, I'm a nurse and I'm the sort of nurse who doesn't really stop being a nurse when the clock out and go home. To me, it would come very naturally for a correlation between disease/medicine/drugs or whatever to just pop into my mind. Example; I rolled a DK in wow and intended to spec in the Blood talent tree. I'm not there to RP so I'm certainly not going to name my orc Graktar or something. Me being me, I get the idea to name my character Alteplase. Alteplase happens to be a drug used to dissolve blood clots, so its kind of a play against my intended spec.

So yeah, I'm not trying to get attention like some rude kid, I just have a tendency to make little plays on words and concepts like the above.

lol im training my whole life i'm a big steroid pig it fits me

If I am perfectly honest, it's also the community it self.
Some people are trigger happy to report for what ever reason.
On forums they do it to troll or because they manage to drag it out of context to make it sound offensive and in game it's pretty much the same.

Now how about this one, I use the in game name generator and a part of the name means something offensive in a language.
You could get reported and you violate the ToS so your name will be changed.
But with so many languages out there finding a flaw in a name is rather easy.

Either you keep it strict or you are a bit less trigger happy as company.


Another question I have is if this name is banned in game, is quoting it on the forum considered as a violation as well?
Or even talking about it because one person finds it offensive.

I resisted a post until here.

I agree anemia doesnt fit for most classes but if he is Sith it fits perfectly even canonical (all layers) darth naming.


Either way it is a stretch to ban for that. I used to be an uptight ****** about names, I didnt report people but I let it get on my nerves. It's just not worth it, and most people who choose names you dont approve of are just doing so because it gives them a regular laugh or they want to make others laugh -- nothing wrong with that.

Actually the word Beelzebub is the transliteration of a Hebrew word that literally means Lord of Flies.

There's very little that you could fit in the name text box that are as offensive as some of the things you can do in game, murder, with extreme prejudice, torture, ****. It's strange that they should ban certain names for being offensive when they not only allow but encourage blatant acts of cruelty and barbarism in game. I'm not complaining, I play my Sith as evil as possible, I'm just pointing out the blatant hypocrisy.

Question: Do any of the policies address the use of reporting as a form of greifing? Do the CS reps keep track of patterns (like perhaps a given person does an awful lot of reporting, or maybe reports someone after they've lost a loot roll to them?)

While I think it is important for there to be mechanisms in game to report players for abusive behavior, it is equally important to punish players for using reporting itself as an abusive behavior.

Gonna make a toon called Stupidname.

So, what about Darth Plagueis then? That's a play on the word 'plague' surely. And it's canon.
