JOCKS Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 I just found out that my copy of SWG arrived in the country today, so I should be playing withing a week (yay!). However, I've been thinking about what my character's name is going to be, and despite earlier protestations I think it's going to be of the silly variety. No, it's not going to be offensive, or a blatant attempt of stealing a character from the movies/books, just your run of the mill slightly humourous name. I know this angers the RPers out there - but hey, I figure they can just ignore me if they want to. My dilemma is, what is SoE's policy on this? I mean, is it okay as long as no-one finds it offensive or if people complain could my character get deleted?
Jan Gaarni Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 If it sounds like a name, then I'm guessing most people will let it go. If it doesn't then expect that many will report the name and you may end up needing to change it. The policy for names, as far as I know, are still the same as if the name filter was working properly.
kdubby Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 I have a silly name I guess and I walked around with it for a month, constantly getting tells from people saying that they were going to report me for ruining their RP experience. Finally, 2 nights ago I am on Dath and a CSR comes in game and lets me know that my name is a violation of the naming policy. I told him that I just wanted to change my name and not have my character deleted. He asked if I had any structures, I let him know that I did. If he would have changed my name, I would have lost my house and everything in it. I have time now to get to Tat and clean out my house, then I am going to send him a tell to go ahead and change my name. I am picking out my new name, so it is not that bad. I just can't comprehend having enough time to play this game and be concerned about other player characters' names. I am sure getting 'reported' enough brought this on. My name is not offensive, I just used an actors name. You might want to send a ticket to customer service about changing your name just to make sure you don't get deleted.
Jaag Xallor Posted August 19, 2003 Posted August 19, 2003 I have a Bothan named Looie Armstrong on Kettenmoor. No one's complained yet. In fact, I've gotten nothing but compliments about it.
