Banned character names

Bosov · June 2017

I just wanted to login on the PC EU server but i noticed some weird numbers around my character name and i couldnt login if i didnt choose a different name. The name ''Fat Hot Chick'' somehow is against the code of conduct. I had that character name for over a year on xbox now and after not even 4 weeks on pc they tell me it isnt allowed.

Why isnt it allowed? My character is a Orc stamsorc, all the character settings are put to max size so she looks big but she also has beautiful ginger hair with a even more beautiful flower in her hair. I think that sooooo hot. Chick is just a word people use for females, not the most respectful name but also not worst name. I also had lots of people whisper me about the way my character looks and her name... none of it was negative. Everyone laughed at it or made a weird/funny/flirty reaction at it.

Did i get reported by roleplayers who think i should have Orcish name with lore friendly ''Orghah'' or whatever in it? Did i get reported by feminists because her brother with the name 'Fat Hot Dude' (he is also a max setting size character but he also has a hot side) apparently is allowed? Did i get reported by the guy i turned down when he offered i could be his RL fat sex slave if i was a girl irl?

This totally ruins my immersion and the ''play how you want' eso slogan. I am so #triggered. I miss Fat Hot Chick already. RIP Fat Hot Chick.

Would a name like Big Boned Woman be allowed? What about Big Beautiful Lady? Im not even sure... I want my character to stand out so i dont really want to have some meta orc name or something boring like Bosov StamSorc or Bosov StamDK...

Side Note : Ive seen characternames or account names with diseases and stuff in it.. that is allowed?

Sounds like some fat girl saw your name, got offended and reported it.

I agree with you.

But this company is prudish and its their game so they decide the rules. It is what it is.

If you like the game I would just shake it off and continue.

A forced change of a name that doesn't clearly violate the tos, and that you'd had for a year without issue, would almost certainly be due to a complaint by another player.

Probably a not-hot fat chick was offended, and reported you.

This has always been an issue with MMOs, for whatever reason. People are really sensitive about what other's name their characters.

I guess they could say that i am breaking the code of conduct because of this.. however i dont see a fat girl as a negative. Personally i dont treat fat girls any different that hot girls and Fat Hot Chick was even a combination of both. It is not like the name is (eh.. was now i guess) ''Fat Ugly Chick i hate obese girls'' or something like that. Someone must take offensive to fat girls.. doesnt sound like a nice person.

Would i be allowed to call her Dutch Orc or would that offend other Dutch people who think i think all Dutch people look like Orcs?
