Character flagged for rename? Why god, why?
Bunk
✭✭✭
I just logged in to see a bunch of my characters with "reserved" names, now all flagged for rename. While some of them MAY have been questionable, one was simply unnecessary to change.
Art Vandelay. i was using him as a temporary mule. How on earth is this name unacceptable? ZOS please respond. I was really fond of that name.

Art Vandalay from Sienfeld. Still seems a fine name that should be allowed.
But I'm more than happy for ZMO to block stupid, juvenile names en-masse though.

Darzil✭✭✭Expect any names from fiction or real life to get changed if someone reports them. It's just the way these things work. Invent one and it's unlikely to happen.3

✭✭Well, the name should be unproblematic, it is lore-friendly, and sure, someone might se innuendo in it but those people probably see innuendo in everything...0 -

TrillBilly✭✭I to was a victim of this but on the forums. My middle name is Walter I know this is a mediocre at best middle name. But I am also white "very white" so my name of walter whiteboi shouldn't harm anyone. yet I had to change it from that as I received a warning to change it due to hoe it may harm to community.2

^thisSeen this coming from miles...good stuff.
That's the reason why my OC's names are registered and protected trademarks. If someone would have picked or reserved their names I would have enforced a rename on them myself.
Good job ZO

Hyperventilate✭✭✭I don't really see the problems with this. If it is a legit mistake and not something like "*** Wasn't Too Bad I Guess" or something like that (Name I saw in-game a few days ago) I could see them reversing it. I can definitely see the Dark Brotherhood Assassin being a problem but I think support has bigger fish to fry than explain why a name is naughty or not. I don't see a problem with the Vandalay one but perhaps I'm not seeing something they are.
If it really is a Seinfeld reference then I bet you're out of luck.0 -
IsraelSoul ShrivenI'VE COUGHT THE NAME ISRAEL AND I WANT IT BACK! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ISRAEL!?
Israel is not just a name of a country its a name of persons, theres many persons which their names are Israel! give it back!1 -
AterNoxis✭✭Strange that some names were not blocked at the start.
For example, in first few minutes of early start i took the name which I wanted.
And after thet I decided to check out of curiosity some names.
And I was amazed when i can create character named "Mephala"!!!
So in the end they will make me change it? It will not be a surprise. But I would like to know more precisely.0 -

I suppose this is to avoid problems in game, it would attract flak very easily , like Jesus or Muhammad - these are legit names but are just not worth the trouble.Edited by Zargorius on April 3, 2014 1:40PMHonor is a dead man's code.0 -
I'm so glad they are actually cracking down on stupid and offensive names or names from fiction and popular culture. However, some of these seem beyond silly to ban.1 -

I really hope you are trolling....whiteboi can be seen are racist...especially the spelling of boi mixed with a skin color.

✭✭✭✭There were rules posted somewhere (not sure where originally, saw a copied list on Reddit or else I wouldn't know about this) that state you can't use names from fiction/non-fiction, even if it's in the public domain. I think it's stupid really; one of the rules also said anything deemed offensive by ZOS is grounds for forcing a name change. Which means literally no one is safe. Which is beyond stupid imo, but I doubt the devs are going to run around banning characters just because they don't like a certain name.Character List [RP and PvE]:Stands-Against-Death: Argonian Magplar Healer - Crafter
Krisiel: Redguard Stamsorc DPS - Literally crazy Werewolf, no like legit insane. She nuts
Kiju Veran: Khajiit Stamblade DPS - Ex-Fighters Guild Suthay who likes to punch things, nicknamed Tinykat
Niralae Elsinal: Altmer Stamsorc DPS - Young Altmer with way too much Magicka
Sarah Lacroix: Breton Magsorc DPS - Fledgling Vampire who drinks too much water
Slondor: Nord Tankblade - TESified verson of Slenderman
Marius Vastino: Imperial <insert role here> - Sarah's apathetic sire who likes to monologue
Delthor Rellenar: Dunmer Magknight DPS - Sarah's ex who's a certified psychopath
Lirawyn Calatare: Altmer Magplar Healer - Traveling performer and bard who's 101% vanilla bean
Gondryn Beldeau: Breton Tankplar - Sarah's Mages Guild mentor and certified badass old person
Gwendolyn Jenelle: Breton Magplar Healer - Friendly healer with a coffee addiction
Soliril Larethian- Altmer Magblade DPS - Blind alchemist who uses animals to see and brews plagues in his spare time
Tevril Rallenar: Dunmer Stamcro DPS - Delthor's "special" younger brother who raises small animals as friends
Celeroth Calatare: Bosmer <insert role here> - Shapeshifting Bosmer with enough sass to fill Valenwood
