WAR (Warhammer Online)

One of my pet peeves is players rolling a toon on a roleplaying server, then naming it "Ihealu" or "mehealer" or "doodman", etc...  Just stupid joke names.

Is Mythic going to actively enforce this?  (might be hard to tell during beta, I understand)

I certainly hope so. Lame names in-game can totally ruin immersion for a lot of people.

I won't be naming a character Slampig for sure.

And I won't name mine "MrNipply ManBoobs".  Hehe, saw that somewhere; someone had used that as a name.

On a RP server yes, on a Core server no.

I don't remember where I read this, but I know I have.

I'll go look for the link..... *runs off into the darkness*

That's a good enough rule.

Also, you start by choosing only a single first name on creation. This name has to unique and cannot have a duplicate (like most other games).

Upon reaching level 10 you can obtain a last name, which does not have to be unique. So for example if you and your wife/kids are on an RP server and want to be a family, you can do so.

Or if you are part of the Ballsak Teabagger WAAAGH! for the greenskins, your entire guild can name themselves <firstname> Teabagger and have a grand time with identical surnames. (Core server of course)

I hope it is too... I think Ive gotten somewhat inured to stupid names. But sometimes I really wish I could gank idiots with names like that. >.>

Aww... I was really hoping to bust out the Puge Henis or Hugh Jorgen.  Maybe I'll just stick to Lance Morningwood.

But in all seriousness I think the RP servers will have a strict naming policy while the regular ones might not as long as it's not racist, or contain some inappropriate language.

As much as I hate those types of names, Hugh Jorgen always gives me the giggles.

Some funny names I've seen in mmo's:

Slappynuts

Yerwifemykids

DirtySanchez

FilthyCarlos

Dooshbag

You get the picture.....
