No offense, but Axemaker is more fitting of a name than soloforce. The others are horrible though.

<DIV>soloforce is a dumb name. this account was made when I played SWG. That's not my player name. I guess you didn't notice it in the corner of the screenshot.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>trust me if I could change soloforce I would.</DIV>

<DIV>Ive seen someone named player on blackborrow.</DIV> <DIV>As well as someone named Penishead...wish i was the type of person to waste my gameplay time petitioning gms or i prolly wouldve reported that one.</DIV>

<DIV>same here. I hear that the wait is like 3hrs to get a responce so.... I figured this was a better way to get attention to the subject.

On Nektulos, I've seen people named "Leggolas", "Kelfka", and "Sqquall", just to name those I can remember.

<DIV>This is a fantasy game after all, people should put a little more thought into the names they choose.  Some are just stupid, and others are painfully obvious.  I saw like 3 seperate people with a variation on Gandalf's name last night.  If you're going to use a tolkien name(or a Norse name if you're going to be technical), at least dig a little for a more obscure one.  My dwarf's name i got from the Silmerilion.</DIV>

<DIV>On my EQ1 server (Bristlebane) I saw the following:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Avril Lavigne</DIV> <DIV>Britney Spears</DIV> <DIV>Okisthisnamegood Caniplaynow</DIV> <DIV>Imgonna Rezyourazz</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>etc.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I hope that the mods don't allow this kind of trash in EQ2.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Mike</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

I agree with the number of lame names. Although I don't prefer the random name generator, I do think a good name, and not one stolen with the letters manipulated is very creative. I do however have my own little way of naming some of my characters that borders on the unoriginal, I use font names. Nice sounding ones, not like "Comic Sans" or anything! Having dabbed a bit in the typographical arts, I find this to be suiting for my characters.

If we're talking just flat out BAD names, I think "Deadrabbitz" on Nektulos is the worst I've seen.

actually i think names like gandolph, legolas, megaman, therock, and crap like that is all perfectly fine... i say that because SOMEONE has to take those names and the ones that do are usually the ones who log on first. its a good description of the "veterans" in most cases and will let you know if your playing with someone who is really obsessed with something or a complete newb (ex: ganndolphh because every variation was already taken).I personally like Magnuss and Bailler, cause they are mine. one is my name, the other is what i thought of when my name was taken and since Magnuss has been taken i have seen Magnus, Magnusss, Magniss, Magnuz, etc. magus is from a videogame so i understand that one but simply cause my name is unorigonal i dont think it means that i didnt put thought into it i was simply logged on first

<DIV><FONT size=3>Here's my vote for the worst name I've ever seen. Brought to you by the Permafrost server:</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#ffff00 size=3>Ummmmm</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3>Yes, that was his name: <FONT color=#ff0000>Ummmm</FONT>.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3>Brilliant. Just brilliant.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Does it really matter? I mean, people pay 15 bucks to play this game per month. Shouldnt they be able to name their characters whatever they want?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>-Proud owner of a level 5 Mage Ratonga named Testicle on the Steamfont server.-</DIV>

<DIV>Testicle? Yeah right man, that will last maybe one or two more days. Sure they pay 15 dollars a month, but they also agree to ToS every single time they log in, and one of those rules is an appropiate name...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Sorry man, as funny as testicle might be, ain't happening.</DIV>

<DIV>Actually I have a very original name for my second character. Tatakai - its the japanese word for war.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>got some new people on the Freeport side of Oasis server today.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Godsmakk</DIV> <DIV>Vincible</DIV> <DIV>Draigon -- okay i'm not sure about this one...It just looks like dragon with an "i" added to it.</DIV> <DIV>Cottonmouth</DIV> <DIV>Mendz -- not sure about this one either.</DIV> <DIV>Teaspoon</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

<DIV>Please /petition these names.  Yes, we all pay $15.00 dollars--we do however agree to the terms of service, and the rules for appropriate names.</DIV>

<DIV>Yeah but how can I be expected to get into a fantasy game when there is someone named Human, and Axemaker running around? They should at least be names and not a series of words strung together.</DIV>

<DIV>While I was on the Island of Refuge I saw some guy with the name "Ownzjoo".... oh yeah, like he's gonna be able to whoop my bottom without any chance to PvP me.</DIV>

<DIV>I have a  main called abraham....weee</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Oh and my 2nd char which i dont play yet is an Ogre called DrPhil</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Aint it great</DIV>

Ok you may all think those are bad but here on the Butcherblock server there are some even worse....My vote for the worst name: A**clownSecond worst: Fatbast**dApparently the name filter doesnt work to well <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

<DIV>Just what do you have against 'Axemaker' as a name?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Where do you think 'Smith' came from ?</DIV> <DIV>.....Carpenter....</DIV> <DIV>.....Tanner....</DIV> <DIV>....Hunter....</DIV> <DIV>....Cooper...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>And many more [ a good half of old european surnames are just old job descriptions ]</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Axemaker is an utterly legit charecter name, for a losely mediaval based fantasy game such as EQ2.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Vrok</DIV>

<DIV>I dont mind the Legolas or Gandolph names really, to each their own.  Unoriginal but if thats what makes them happy who cares.  Other names that are outside of the initial agreement that we have to click "I Agree" on every day are another story.  Penishead should be removed.  Not because I've never heard the word **bleep** before, but I'd rather not see a guy with that name.  I'm not going to petition that though, if it gets caught fine, but its not worth the effort really.  Saw Blowjobqueen in EQL the other day.</DIV>

<DIV>I hate the names that you have to look up everytime you want to talk to them and figure out the spelling.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Like Argoeaouies or something like that :smileytongue:</DIV>

<DIV>One of the benefits to being on the Antonia Bayle server, which is roleplay preferred, is that there arn't too many inappropriate, plagarized, or just plain stupid names...most of the people who RP tend to be too mature for that.  How could you roleplay a character named Healunow Rezulater or something of that nature anyways?  The only "bad" name I've seen on AB is Aragon and <EM>yes </EM>it was a ranger, well a Qeynos predator to be exact, but it was a Wood Elf not a Human...still it's blatantly ripped-off from LOTR and annoys me.</DIV><p>Message Edited by Ravengaard on <span class=date_text>11-16-2004</span> <span class=time_text>03:58 PM</span>

<DIV>The best of the worst in bad names list begins.</DIV> <DIV>Splinter and 10 different varrations of that name all Ratonga</DIV> <DIV>Legolas 7 different spellings</DIV> <DIV>Gandalf 3 different spellings</DIV> <DIV>Drazzbiter he got /petitioned as soon as I saw the name.
