Okay, I 'm not complaining because I expected this was coming for a while, but my main toon has just won me a 72hour ban for offensive name. She was a necro named Jehovahs Waitress. This wasn't meant to be a dig at real JWs, but rather an expression of my love of puns. Oh well there's nothing so inoffensive that someone won't complain.

Now the issue, when I can get back on, I assume I'll be asked to change this name to something else. So I'm soliciting suggestions for a replacement name that fullfils my general requirements:

a) Funny
b) Not religious
c) A pun, preferably
d) not a respelling of a banned word
e) completely inoffensive

Which was offensive Jehovah or waitress? If I had a smite monk and named him
God's Warrior would I get banned? I would go with something inoffensive to avoid a further ban.

My buddy caught a 72 hour ban for having a character named Nigerific Ranger, lol. Personally I've always wanted a toon named Spanky McAwesomepenis but it's too many letters.

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

I'm considering the following:

Unbannable Name
Not Offensive
Perfectly Bland
Im Obeisant


I have a list of names I've thought of over the months, which I've ruled out because I don't want to get my ass banned again. Anyone is free to try them though:

Menstrual Show
Minstrel Cramps
Pabst Smear
Corn Hole Queen (I tried this one early on and was surprised the server took it).
Glory Whole Shebang (ditto)
Sixty Nine Skadoo
Apoco Lipstick
etc...

Being an apostate myself (ex Jehovah Witness), let me be the first to say that...well, they don't have much of a sense of humor.

That aside, I'd go with King Skittle. Sounds koo.

"Name Got Banned" is the deal but i doubt it's still available. Or else you'll love...

Table got Razed (tabula rasa pun? Kinda lame though)
Name is Unimportant (sweet, fits 19 char limit perfectly)
Anyone tried "Name Ban Wars" yet?

you're turning this perfectly legitimate discussion into a rant for your prejudices

The fact is, in anets world (guildwars) you are subject to their laws and their rules. The same as if you walk into a store, they have the right to kick you out of the store if you cause trouble.

Free speech is fine, but if used for the purpose of prejudice anyway, kthxbye

uhm..how about simple something.. that sounds rp-ish >.>

with such u'll have NEVER problems, because they are mostly at 99,9% ever unque, unless u try to take names from existing games or animes and mangas ect.


here some examples from me for you in regard of gender (i dunno what your char will be, so examples for both)


Male:

Ragnar Esperias
Vincent Leloire
Magnus Constantine
Baal Vishnur
Aireon Desrael
Draculas Nosferatu *g* (for blood necro rofl)
Damien Soreille
Lenard Xaherth

Female:

Sophie Bellcour
Trish Zephyr
Mia Serabeth
Delilah Fiare
Ayumi Takayashi
Richelle Mairon
Nanako Kunawane
Freya Orpheal


I have really no problem with thinking out fantasy names.. they all here came now from my mind.. not from a name generator...

anybody can use them, don't ask me , just use, if you like them

After looking at the End User Agreement, I can't figure out exactly what rules exist for offensive names. As near as I can tell an offensive name is one that someone (anyone who reports) finds offensive. It also seems that this is the only type of ban that can be appealed. So I ask, has anyone here even been banned for an offensive name, and then had a successful appeal? Since it's so subjective, I'm not sure on what grounds I would appeal. "But it's funny!" doesn't seem like it would hold water. Nor would "neither I nor my guild finds it offensive" work, I would imagine. Can anyone think of a legitimate excuse for an appeal?

Yeah as an ex-catholic, I know they are the same way.

Ahh yes the joys of a banned name, been there myself, it sucks, mine was 2yrs old and then got the removal, very annoying. As for your name, pretty silly to ban ya for it, but meh. Go with something funny. Name Was Killed

Slightly on topic, are you sure you can change your character name without losing its achievements. I always thought you would lose the character and all its achievements and start over again. Can someone confirm or deny this?
