    WHY NOT ALLOW THEM TO CHANGE THEIR NAME????????????
     
    Permanently banning people for this is ridiculous... 

     

    Was actually one of my suggestions.

     

    Glad to see the dev team listens... ;)

     

    lol you never fail to deliver mr. fanboi supremo

     

    Well, in a small way, I feel I did. For this issue, at least.

    Did you stop to consider, that Lieliiekle might sound like a good name to someone who doesn't speak English as his native tongue and is trying to make up a name wich wouldn't already be in use?

    While I agree that MMOs should have rules against completely unpronouncable names like IIIIJLLLIFH, I'm glad that you aren't the one making up those rules because you'd ban also players who have had good intentions and created a name wich sounds good in their native tongue.

    I'm not very suprised that regardless what kind of shit Tasos says, there are always people who are defending it.

    As people were complaining about hackers in the game, the fanbois stated there were no hackers or max 1 guy in the game who cheated and he was already banned. Now that Tasos found out he does not like some names because they confuse his GM's (lol), everyone with a confusing name is put under general suspicion for being a cheater and forced to delete his character. Who will know which name is confusing and which isn't, this will depend on the arbitrariness of Aventurine or single GM's. Really, this is incompetent as much as I can imagine for a service that you have to pay for.

    And no its not only IIIlliill that should delete his character its even MitcheII .

    Strange thing is that if there are so few cheaters it wouldn't have been a problem to find these hackers with strange names but as this seems to be worth a forum post for the otherwise silent guy, it looks like that hacking is a major problem in the game.

    So instead of, you know, fixing the exploits and hacks they ban people with stupid names?  Another quality and enlightened move by the God King Tasos.

    Is a man not entitled to the herp of his derp?

    Remember, I live in a world where juggalos and yugioh players are real things.

    paragus1, you have a number in your name. That is unacceptable for MMORPG forums. Please stop using this account and make a new one, with an acceptable name.

    That is all.

    This is one of the best points in this discussion. Has anyone even considered that those names may mean something in other languages?

    How about these names:

    PRST,SLNKO,SLILI,SPLILI - they all look weird in lower case prst, slnko,slili,splili

    But they ALL mean something in a foreign tongue. Would AV ban those legit names too?

    Apparently, there is a native of the Amazonian jungle someplace who just happened to stumble across a computer, the internet, and Darkfall and found all the other names taken in his native language, so he made up this name.

    Too bad those names have nothing to do with the discussion as you can easily reconize the letters in them with the exception of slili and splili. So your point is?

    I always wondered what it would be like if someone slipped while hiking on a mountain pass and as they were just about to fall to their death, dashed on the jagged rocks below, they reached out and grabbed a root growing out of the side cropping of rock. The sense of panic mixed with knowing this one thread, however tenuous it is, was keeping their hopes alive one minute longer must have been immense as they hang there.

    After reading you post this in all seriousness, I no longer wonder.

    Legit? Have you ever met a person or read about a person with that name? If not, then it's not so legit, is it?

    Well isnt the whole point of banning names because they are "bad" ? That means you have to see the name to ban it. So if you see that name, it is automatically legit, according to your logic that is. Or am I missing something? Cuase this is circular logic.

    Most likely, he means "legit" as in "possible to exist within the game", not legit as in acceptable. That's why it's flawed, just because no one has ever made a name like that doesn't mean someone never will.

    LOL, your comment gave me a thought. Since banning names, because someone considers them "bad", is a form of discrimination, then I suggest AV to ban ALL names. This way if someone sues them, they can say "What discrimination? We dont discriminate based on names. We ban all names equally."

    I dont see how you get the "So if you see that name, it is automatically legit" that from my post? Maybe I'm missing something or your fabricating something, I dont know which. Anyway, I'm already proved wrong, why drag it out further?

    But what I'm really asking is have you seen it in a MMO? If not, then your point is moot, since you cant get banned out of real life. IF you have seen a name like that in-game, then I am disproven and there is no further argument.
