Go to the Origin shard right now, look in the Luna bank at a player on a Windrunner. Is that name ok? Not to me.

I'm not sure what the character's name was, but I see some pretty obscene names on a daily basis on Atlantic. Nothing ever seems to happen about it. In the old days of UO GM's frequently forced people to change their name, or just renamed the character to a random npc name. I guess they no longer do that.

Someone who leads us may be fond of bad boys. This is taking bad boys to a whole new level. It is too much for me that it is allowed. I am not thick of skin it seems.

I've been paged on for my fisherman's guild title. However, I wasn't forced to change it.

I've seen many creative names with word play, most are funny. Unfortunately without knowing what the name you are referring to was/is, it's hard to say if it was over-the-top.

Folks - had to do some thread clean up regarding political discussion. Let's please not turn topics about this UO game of ours into pseudo-real life political discussions and comparisons. Most of us play for exactly the reason of escaping some of that mumbo jumbo. This was clarified in public announcement from admins noted here Political discussions on Stratics. .

Thank you.

This thread is useless
Pretty much sums what i'm thinking, all you can do @Cyrah is page a GM just like most people do DAILY with all the inappropriate language we see in gen chat. Maybe someone did and that's why they poofed like @Nexus said

This thread is useless without knowing the name in question.
The name was an altered spelling way of saying "ram it in my... (name of a body part I cannot post)"

I was also informed that a GM changed the name to "John Smith" not long after this thread was made. I guess they do still enforce the inappropriate name rules after all.

They definitely still enforce the name rules.

A person in our guild had a play on an obscene name, cant remember the exact words but something along the lines of Jack MeHoff or something of the sort. Had his name changed to something very generic by a gm.

This was within the last few months

Siege has had a mildly bad one for some time. I won't say who, those who know know. It's not too terrible but really should never been allowed.

Which is amusing as I saw it was a female character..

Dunno if I'd go that far, t he person in question I managed to see for a brief moment apparently right as they were getting yanked by a GM... Their name was rather explicit, and not at all humorous.

Sounds like a name my son would give something when he was young. Froggy Mc Peepee was the name of a frog we found. Easy to guess what it did when he picked it up.
It sounds like your son may have a bright future working as an engineer for the British government, who decided to name their new super hi-tech drone submarine this:

;)

Lol that's what I was actually referring to! Haha I'm glad even Yahoo news is covering that amazing feat of naming.. wasn't it an internet contest to name it or something?


....
 
I had a good friend/coworker play with me at launch. After a few years of playing, someone reported his 'obscene' name and he was sent to jail and told to pick a new name. He logged off and quit. He tried logging in years after and was confronted by a GM.
His obscene name was....'Ally McBeal Naked'. pffff OMG!

Boaty McBoatface wad actually chosen by the interwebs via poll, originally for a research vessel. It was wisely ignored and the ship was named the RRS Sir David Attenborough.

So they named a new remote sub for the original ship Boaty McBoatface.

Silly interwebs.

After watching Monty Python's Life of Brian I named one of my chars Biggus Dickus. One day later I logged in and it was changed to something like Steve... I wrote Mesanna that a GM obviously had no sense of humor and no idea of movie history. She delivered a name change token to my mailbox :)

Well, I had Craven Morehead for 6-7 years before someone got a burr up their hind end and I had to change it. I guess I saw the silver lining...the character was created after a few too many beers on a bet I'd get busted instantly. I won. I also saved $10 on a name change token... ;) :)

You would not be talking about my Rumpledforeskin character would you? They changed his name to Peter a year or so ago...... after 17 years.

Friend of mine had a character named Don Keykok for years without any incident. As soon as some delicate little snowflake reported him it got changed.

A player who does not speak English in his native language, like me, do not know what's wrong with all the above names. :eyes:

Back in 97 the first couple of guys I pked with were named...FrOdO RiNgBeArEr and AlNoR LoNgCoCk

The first guy to ever pk me was "Kaganos" whom I have run into in other games across the years as well.

A name can be very memorable.

Years back a guild member had a pet named "A Tampon". When he took it to doom and it was bleeding it would say "A Tampon is bleeding profusely". I found it to be extremely funny, but he was forced to change it.

Basic dirty schoolboy names are tedious, I like it when the player in question has put some effort in as above, in another game I was once in a battleground with a player called "Parts", this guy had gone to the trouble of levelling up this character to max and then fighting in rated PvP in order to get the rank title "Private" on his overhead name, I was amused at the effort he had made to achieve this, the commitment involved...

My char called Ivannah Sukadikh was forcably changed and so was "a drug dealer" char i had on EU for 3 years prior to moving it to Atlantic, where it lasted 3 days before i got paged on.

Some real losers to cry about in game names about.

Lol. I still have an old character on one of the shards that i never play, named "Hardon".
I got perma banned once before for naming a character after a certain person, and running around Buc's Den letting people kill me repeatedly after 9/11.

I had named my character in Halo "Your Own Stupidity", so that every time i killed someone, it would say to them "You were killed by Your Own Stupidity".

I wonder how long 'Mike Hunt' would "survive" ... :smile2:

I will forever be mad about logging on two different shards and seeing my character "Sir Poops-a-Lot" renamed to generic names. It isn't even offensive.
