View Full Version : Naming Policy.

Just a fair waring about names. I was playing with a friend that had names that were against the Naming policy. One was Horny Inferno, that was honestly in regards that he had horns on his character. The other two were plays on " Salty Balls(z), which is in direct confliction with the policy. I can see how the first one could be considered that way, but at the time it wasnt meant as such.



Today he got an Email stating that his account was in jeopardy of being banned if he didnt delete those characters. He replied within an hour of getting an email, asking if he could at least get name changes, and their reply was, " Yes that is a possibilty, but your account was already banned for lack of cooperation."



Wow, that was damn quick. THey also stated that he could suggest some names for a name change and that if they meet the policy, they may reinstate the account with the new names.



Eventually, they did accept the new names and reinstated his account. But the lesson today is, dont break the naming policy, because unlike some other games, looks like they mean buisness, which is a good thing IMO.

Let’s see last night I messed around for about an hour and in that time I saw a ‘Hoebag’, a girl in tights entirely flesh color named ‘Look at me’, ‘Jesus Christ’, ‘Crack Addict’. Jesus was running around saying “Jesus loves you” and ‘Crack Addict’ was running around saying “I love crack”.



They must have their hands full in regards to the naming policy in a game like this. It just invites crazy names. It’s just so tempting. I want to make a ‘Cap’n Obvious’ myself and run around pointing out really obvious things. Or a ‘The Schizophrenic’ and run around just freaking out at people, especially the “clown” superheroes. It could be a lot of fun playing a “not quite right” superhero. See, I am not even usually a trouble maker.

I've seen about 50 recreations of the various storms from Big Trouble in Little China, mostly complete with variations on their names, but some merely with references.



I saw Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus running around killing stuff the other day.



Personally, I find things like that to be more of a problem than otherwise inappropriate ones, but I do appreciate the humor and understand the appeal.



At least Crack Addict doesn't leave you wondering if he is a moron. He just comes right out and says it.
