I created a kerra alt named Sirmeowmixalot just to test something, but I promptly deleted him--my normal names are all RP friendly. I'm all for RP names, but I find many of the silly names very ammusing and I don't understand the people who get off on petitioning other players names. Comming from other MMOs (and still playing them), I've noticed that the EQ community has a large amount of fun police who seem to delight in petitioning other players for minor infractions. Try to relax a bit and be more tolerent of others; everyone's playstyle is different.I'm sorry, but seeing a name like "Bilbo Bagpipes" is no more ruinous to the immersion of the game then seeing names float above everyone's head is or using a keyboard is. You might as well /petition people everytime they say "ding," "lol," "k," or "add" because this is a form of leet speak that has zero basis in the popular fantasy worlds that EQ is based on. Remember, no matter how badly you think seeing a name you don't like will effect your gameplay, petitioning someone and forcing them to change their name affects their game play much more.
