name rules

Recommended Posts

Hey I think we need some name rules, cause it gets very annoying seeing people named like dice1948. I can see it now, you go to Gym class, hey dice1948! what's up? We need rules like no numbers in names, no names like jhsnknnfsjn. And people who currently don't comply to the rules should have a chance to change their name and for sayyyy 2 weeks it will show their new name and their old one on the left so people know who their old friends are now.

Excellet :)

 

I planned to post this suggestion myself, but then an old friend visited me and I was off for almost 2 days... reading all the new posts right now (whooot, "suggestions" had the most new posts! *g*)

 

I think numbers and special signs in names ruin the gameplay A LOT. Personally I don't PM people who have names like "l337SuXX0r", even if they ask for help - I just feel uncomfortable to be drawn that far from the gameworld. That ain't fantasy anymore...

 

Also there should be a rule that would forbid ppl to use names like "LittleBitch" or... well you get the idea.

 

That shouldn't be hard to implement, just give those with SuX0r-names some time (like Hosan said 2 weeks seem reasonable) to rename themselves after this time they will only be able to login if they change their names.

 

If this isn't done now, it will be harder to do in future with more new players joining EL every day.

Bad idea about the numbers... some name limitations should apply(like profanity in names) but as more and more people join the game its gonna get harder and harder to come up with an original name, so the numbers should stay.

I beleive in letting people express their personality as they wish, as long as they don't chose obscene names and such.

You can't just impose your views on others.

I would like to see some thing happen about names like "ChildPorn" whoever owns that character should be made to change that name, It is Crude, Rude and should not be allowed. I saw IT at IP beam up point this morning. This is just my opinion, I am conserned because children play right along side us adults and would hate to have the wrong impression made on them or their parents.

Even if you don't force people to change name, it may be good to let them the opportunity to do. When you first chose your name, do don't realy know what is the game about. So some people don't realy pick a name, they just write the first thing they think about. After, when they are no longuer newbies, when they know the game, they may regret it.
